DC....

wondering if Obama bought one....

 

[casinoman921]

Darn! First time playing lottery and I had 2 numbers. That feels like a good start!

So the next time you play you'll get 4, then after that all 6!

 

[piratepwnsninja]

DC....

"You mean these winning lottery numbers?"

 

[Jarrod38]

DC....

wondering if Obama bought one....

If he can fake his birth certificate he can fakeva winning lottery ticket.

BREAKING: 113 tickets matched all 6 numbers in last night's Powerball drawing

Source: Me

Wouldn't that suck? lol

 

[ffdgh]

Wait no one won or is it too soon to tell yet?

 

[perfectchaos007]

BREAKING my ticket in half since I didn't win

 

[reckless]

Wait no one won or is it too soon to tell yet?

Too soon.

It's amazing how many people listen to random twitter people.

Will The Force Awakens even be able to beat the Powerball worldwide, let alone Titanic and Avatar??

Wholly shit! I could change VIII and make it in my own vision...

You could make an Open-World RPG "like" Star Wars game!

 

[Hollycat]

May not be a reliable source but I just heard nobody won the powerball or the million.

 

[Battersea Power Station]

That's actually not likely, according to statistics.

 

[FTF]

That's impossible.

I still don't believe no one won, let alone not even a million. I bet 25+ people won a million. (14 people won a million during Wed's game)

 

[Korey]

How long does it take to run a series of numbers through your database to see if someone won?

Over 2 hours apparently.

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Don't try to put fancy math in the face of winning lots of money!

 

[injurai]

I'll just win it next Wednesday instead.

 

[Gray Matter]

Well, my 99 ticket pool won a mere $36 matched the powerball on 3 combinations, with the power play it totals $36.

Wonder how 47 people will split that lol

 

[Hollycat]

Just saying what I heard.

 

[Greecian-]

Just saying what I heard.

There was just a link posted saying someone matched 5 numbers but missed the Powerball number. So what you heard is false

 

[mcfrank]

Well, my 99 ticket pool won a mere $36 matched the powerball on 3 combinations, with the power play it totals $36.

With 18 more tickets for the next pool.

You put it towards the next powerball if nobody won this one.

beaten.

 

[Hollycat]

I'll concede it!

 

[Sobriquet]

Aw yeah I won $12

Spoiler

and spent $10 on tickets

 

[Trouble]

I totally forgot about the drawing tonight. I bought two tickets. Matched exactly zero numbers on either of them, lol.

 

[UrokeJoe]

You could make an Open-World RPG "like" Star Wars game!

Yeah I was getting crazy. More true.

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Do they release how many tickets were bought?

 

[MAtgS]

Well shit. NOW can I buy a majority share of Capcom?

 

[piratepwnsninja]

Well shit. NOW can I buy Capcom?

Fixed.

 

[Kadin]

My local news (KCRA in Northern California) just said there is 1 jackpot winning ticket but not here in California. And then the guy reporting out live at a local ticket seller said there's only two states left that haven't reported yet so it's very likely that it could roll over.

So yeah, I'm confused but pretty sure they're just as clueless as I am.

 

[Armadilo]

people say always get quick picks for the best chance of winning but look at this

16 19 32 34 57 (13)

This looks like simple numbers that anybody could of chosen and most winning tickets always seem simple

I think you're trolling, but it's late and I'm tired, so thinking about this is just giving me a headache.

 

[N.Domixis]

I wonder if that person who spent 100k on tickets is legit.

Easy to say that in hindsight. Looks just as random to me as any other ticket.

ow my brain

 

[Mr.Mike]

Humans are good at finding patterns in things. (Too good sometimes).

 

[Ziltoidia 9]

Someone doing that would probably freaking out by searching and searching through the list trying to find the winner, even after reports of "no winner."

 

[Vincent Alexander]

So the next time you play you'll get 4, then after that all 6!

Shit. Let's hope. If so, you're my lucky penny. I'll throw a mil your way.

 

[DrForester]

Would be absolutely insane if only one person won.

 

[injurai]

 

[NHL94]

Still nothing concrete yet? Looking like we're on this train until Wednesday?

 

[Javaman]

I can't help but laugh at people that choose obvious numbers like the stupid ones from LOST. The numbers are just as unlikely to lose as any other one and in the small chance that you did win you'd have to split the jackpot by hundreds or thousands. There's absolutely no upside to picking popular numbers.

Which is why you might as well play quick pick. The probability is the same no matter what numbers you play, but quick picks are randomly generated just like the lottery.

Guess not, given that no one chose them.

Still that 1.3 number, but:

Weird, the Texas lottery spokesperson articles keep quoting was a friend in college.
