Powerball jackpot is now at 1.5 billion dollars? Are you going to buy a ticket?

[scott04sa22]

Are you gonna buy the tickets now since it’s at 1.5 billion dollars now. You know the real reason why nobody is winning because they want us to buy the tickets now 🙄

No, I don't gamble my earnings away. It's all a scam, just like casinos to make broke people spend money that could go to more important things only for them to come out broker than they already where. I remember my mom made me go to casino with her ine time she put a 20 in the machine andinstantly lost the 20. After seeing that I was DONE. If I'm going to spend/waste my money it's going to be on something that is valuable and can be used whenever I want.

Plus you really think the state/government is going to let you have all that to yourself? No the greedy pigs are going to reach in and take half of that, I guarantee once they are done it won't even be a billion anymore but probably drop down to a million or so if your luck. Some people would say that's better than nothing, but in my opinion you're getting shafted/robbed.

Be thankful for what God already blessed you with cause that could be taken away in blink of an eye.

I don't gamble.

[dreamstar72]

I will get some tickets hey I might win 💰💵💵💵.
If I do win I will give it to my daughter than she will pay me back.
I think the powerball, mega million is some what rigged to get the jackpot up to a high amount. Computers does amazing things.

[BeMuse]

Nope.

[Sour-rose]

Nah. I haven't spent a dollar on that shi, because I don't believe in playing my chances. To get all that money on a whim? a million to a tiny jewelry rimstone. I'd rather work for it, thanks. :D

The $1.5B is misleading. That is the pre-tax amount if it is taken as an annuity. The cash payout is more like $935M, and after Uncle Sam's cut it drops to around $590M. And some states also tax it, so it might be another $20M or so less. Still a lot, but like I said, misleading.

[tfan1]

I would if I could figure it out. I tried one time and the cashier said ok so do you want this or play this or this etc. I said I just want to play powerball. Rang my ticket up and that was it. What else can you do with this game?

[Telekinetic-Potato]

I don't think God would see giving me 1.5 billion dollars out of nowhere as responsible on his part so probably not.

[ChiTown33]

I always by a ticket. Not because I think I'll ever win. I always say I'm not buying a ticket I'm buying a dream for a day. 🤣

[exitseven]

As a rule I do not but Saturday I might actually take a chance.

[Sparkie460]

I always play powerball even when the jackpot is lower

[art84]

I haven't played the lottery in years. Might give it a chance.

[Likes2drive]

Been playing for years so of course I am, but I only spend a few dollars

[musicbrain5]

Nope, because I'm not in the US.

[dustybiker]

Damn. Guess my ticket didn’t win. Figures.

[Guy13]

Thinking about it…

[joeldalton]

lol, that's a pretty weird conspiracy theory.

[Chazmatazz269]

Probably

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Nope.

[Guardian45]

Why?
