Looks like a rich person won

 

I bet it was Jessica Simpson...

 

Damnit

 

My numbers werent even close.

 

Yup.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chino_Hills,_California

Chino Hills was ranked 34th in Money magazine's "Best places to live 2012."[7] It is also the 6th highest income place in the United States (with population 65,000 to 250,000)[8] and was ranked as the 13th safest city in the United States in 2008 by the FBI.[9] Chino Hills is a part of the Chino Valley.

According to the 2010 United States Census, Chino Hills had a median household income of $97,065, with 6.3% of the population living below the federal poverty line.

 

I was a little close. Not good enough to win anything at all though. Kinda glad someone is going to finally win. Tired of hearing all about this.

 

So when is the next one?

I'm ready

I have figured out all the numbers and done detailed statistical analysis on all the trends of past winners

 

I got the Powerball and one of the other numbers. 4 bucks. Yay.

Next time I do play(which will probably be in a year or two), I'm gonna pick my own numbers. I tried that for the first time instead of Quick Picks and got way closer to the actual numbers than what the damn computer spit out on previous tickets.

 

I got the powerball (10).

How much do I win?

 

$8 since the power play is 2.

 

$8. Power play is 2.

Man...i seriously feel i will hit this one of these days...No i didnt but im darn close (2-10-26-31-34 PB-9).

Only spent $6 bucks...and I never quick pick.

 

I got one number.

And was one off on two other numbers.

When is it my turn for billionaire status.

 

Don't you have to pay extra for that? I just paid the regular 2 bucks for each ticket.

 

Only if he elected to pay an additional $1 per play does he get the Power Play option.

 

Yes you do.

Just paying $2.00/ticket gets you $4.00.

What happens if there's another winner? They split the pot?
