I'd love to play the lottery, but the leadership of my state believes the only gambling God approves of is Bingo. Specifically, Bingo being run by a "non-profit" whose executive board is composed of state legislators, their family members and business partners.

Lol. What state? Utah? Montana?

Sounds a lot like Alabama, except even charity bingo got 86ed so more people can spend their hard-earned gambling dollars in casinos on Native American land and Mississippi casinos, as God intended.

I'm glad of it. If your are allowing gambling it should be consistently regulated.

Bingo is a huge scam.

Since the drawing isn't until Saturday night do you think it could hit like $900M by then?

Yea. Hell it might hit the big 1 Billion.

If you're going to play, you may as well buy two and double your chances of winning. Probably unwise to buy 250 tickets though

This is my thinking as well. It's still loving stupid, but if you have already resigned to making a bad financial decision, go for it.

I've bought four Powerball tickets, and I'm honestly terrified of winning.

Once I won $5000 on the superbowl pool at the bar I tended at. Thank god I wasn't working. Soon I had to quit. No one would visit me anymore. If they did, the tips were $0 or $1. Later when I would visit, I'd be glared at. I'd see former customers whispering to their friends while pointing a finger in my direction.

This was a working class place in a not great area.

If I hit Powerball I'd never see these streets again

Protip: if you win the lottery don't tell anyone, and don't claim it in person.
