If I built a time machine I would be able to use much more subtle ways of getting stupidly rich

Won, $4, but I bought the tickets in Wyoming, so I'd have to drive up there to claim the prize.

2 numbers without the Powerball pays nothing.

How long is it until you get the money? I'm sure most people can live off savings and credit for awhile if they've just won half a billion dollars.
When will we know if anyone won? They should know basically immediately based on whether the winning combination was sold, right?

Three #Powerball tickets in California matched 5 of 6 numbers, no jackpot winners in Ca though
I'd rather not be even close than be one number off. Jesus christ.

I swear it's always Cali getting the winners or people close as fuck to it.
Don't they get a million though?
I mean cali has the population advantage
and given the cost of living in a lot of areas, their incomes are in general higher so tickets are effectively cheaper there than other states by comparison. Thus it wouldn't be surprising if they bought more tickets in general.

Powerball + 4 number still gets you a million

If I had that kind of future prediction ability I wouldn't waste it on the lottery. I would just play the stock market until I had billions of dollars I made myself, secretly and quietly. No need for public exposure, just buy my yacht and sail off into the sunset.
Yeah. Even after taxes, I would still tell my boss to stuff it and go find something I want to do. That's enough money in the midwest to pay off my house, put my daughter through college, pay off my cars, student debts and live decently.

When do we find out if I need to kill someone and take their lottery ticket?
$4, a hearty chuckle, and the power to resist crying yourself to sleep for one (1) night.

I did not in fact win the $700M Powerball, Gaf
I know you were all expecting me to and to share it with you but I totally did not just win it and decide to keep all the money for myself
