    Definitely recommend Quick Pick option. Every time I've won the Powerball, it's been with a QP.

    No, the winning numbers are highly classified, and publicly revealing them is punishable by death.

    Quick pick win about 70% of the time. That said, I think u should use

    I learned a lot on my first run for newbees.

    You can use pen or pencil to fill out your form.
    Seems Most places are cash, but some states do let u use credit.
    In Washington DC at 8.5 % tax, my annuity would be about 33 million per year on average, and my take home net would be 1 billion ( at 1.5 billion advertised ). My lump sum net would be about 700m.

    I was going to say, even though quick pick wins 70% of the time, I would pick at least one ticket using your own numbers so that u don't have any wee'grets.

    i hardly play on my own but i always throw in if there's an office pool. I know my chances are minuscule but i consider it more of insurance against not winning. :eek: imagine being that guy who lost out on millions because he was too smart to play. that feeling is 1 million times worse than if no one won. you can only brag about being a few dollars richer.

    If you steal a winning lottery ticket, you are facing 8 to 25 years.

    You have to be able to answer questions when you turn it in about the day and time and where you bought the ticket from. Plus they check the store video as well...
