edit: nm actually I think the prize value signs have a point between numbers, so they could show 1.34 maybe.

Is this now the biggest lottery in world history? Winning a Powerball ticket is 500 times easier than filling out that perfect NCAA bracket thing.  Dangerous Mind posted:I'm glad it was snowing so I didn't waste me precious time getting a ticket. You could've had the golden ticket!

You really have your head up your rear end if you think the store worker cares if you call it powerball or a ticket. As long as you're not yelling at him, his day is going fine.

If there is a single winner, it will become a horror film plot for that person. They will be hunted down by random people on the street because everyone is somehow going to think that it's sort of like that movie SWAT meets Burger King's Herb character and a leprechaun: If they manage to get their hands on you (or anyone of your loved ones), you have to magically award them $100,000,000.

I've thought up a full proof plan to win, instead of buying one ticket at one store I will buy multiple tickets at multiple stores. This plan is based on a little thing called statistics like what nerds use. Will post results on Thursday.

The clerk is just going to sell them a regular low-prize state lottery ticket. So, even if they DID win, it's only a paltry few million bucks; you're hardly making enough money to justify spending the couple of bucks.

Also, say it ends up being $1.5 billion or so. What would you actually get if you took cash after all of the taxes and whatnot? like $500 million? Hardly worth it imo
