    I won $8 on the powerball with the power play. But overall in the red.

    I had two tickets with 2 numbers ( Olajuwon 34 and Eddie George 27 )
    And 2 tickets with one number.

    Overall much better than I've ever done. But this thing is rigged! I'm out!

    The guy that posted the ticket on his instagram is a fake. It's a photoshop. He's just fishing for retweets.

    Cheke64 is right, three winners

    I read somewhere that you have better odds of being born with two penises.

    It was fun to dream. I made all these plans about what I would do with the money. I couldn't even win the $ 1MM. LOL

    Now back to the office.

    I matched 3 numbers no powerball or power play, $7 winner. So do I have to go back to same gas station to redeem?

    No, you can redeem anywhere the lottery is sold.

    So there's a prize if one of your tickets just had 2 numbers? I had that, but assumed it wasn't a winner.

    Only if one of the numbers is the power ball, and it's still only $4.00.

    I'm dating the cousin of the guy who is the official mechanic of a person who is the accountant of the family member that won the lotto.

    Take a random person being born on earth. The odds of that person becoming the senator of Pennsylvania is the same odds as winning the lottery.

    I didn't win only because I didn't play. ;)

    I concur. That Red light prevented you from reaching before 8:59.

    I can't see myself ever playing again even in large pools. Straight throwing money into the trash can.

    Eh, it's discretionary spending like anything else. Eating nice meals, watching a movie in the theater, buying a lotto ticket: none of these things have tangible value later on.

    That is how I'm thinking buying these pointless as tickets. The same money probably would have been spent on a dollar menu or in app purchases. But I didn't spend much on my chance to be a billionaire to begin with.
