I will give none of you anything when I win.
i will use my lottery money on a machiavellian campaign to manipulate every aspect of your life, and with my dark machinations i will take everything you have

I bought 3 tickets. If I'd known they were $2 I'd have only bought one.
If your state doesn't do the whole pony show thing, then yeah, I guess. But otherwise, I doubt it. I think it was a post here that said to just move out of your city/country and disappear for a year or two. When you "surface" move to a different city and enjoy life.

Wanna trade tickets?
I joined my fellow coworkers in the lotto pot.
It puts things into perspective regarding my coworkers. Every time it's someone's birthday. I collect money from them in order to buy a cake. However, most of them are "too poor" to pitch in $1. When it comes to the lotto, they miraculously have $6 to give.
Good luck to everyone out there

Hey friend
I'll let you know at 11 PM ET.
If I won, I'd tell my brother as soon as I got a chance to speak with him privately. He's quiet, trustworthy, and knows how to keep a secret, so in the event that something happened to me before I could collect the winnings, someone in my family would still be able to take advantage of the ticket.
Then I'd do the Reddit thing and hire a lawyer to set up a trust and all that stuff. Temporarily changing my name before claiming the prize (and establishing the trust) might also be a good idea, but I'd run it by the lawyer first.
I'd set up a trust for my brother right away, but I think I'd wait before setting one up for anyone else (such as my parents). Setting up trusts for them would imply telling them, and they're... rather less reliable when it comes to secrets. My mother means well, but she really likes to talk and doesn't always stop to think first. My father is just not remotely trustworthy.
I'd tell them that I won one of the million-dollar prizes (and try to wait until someone in the state had genuinely won a million dollar prize from a smaller drawing) and wait to see how they reacted. If they actually kept quiet and didn't push me to waste money, then I'd set up trusts for them and tell them the truth.
I'll bite. Why that date, in particular? You expect the jackpot to hit a particular amount? First time a drawing will be held after you turn 18?

I got my ticket and I like my odds. The way I see it it's 50/50: either you win or you don't win.
Those are good odds!

I live in an area where there is the occasional but not too often instance of:
Drive by
Robbery
Fight
Shooting
And with the fact that my state requires you to give your name to claim the lottery jackpot....yeah. I'm gonna take those six months to claim it and prepare to make myself scarce.

Its always a good investment when the prize amount is higher than the odds of winning. I'll by $500 worth of tickets.

I'm so dumb I don't even know if I bought the right ticket. Just said Powerball, didn't confirm which date for the drawing or anything.

it's written on the ticket, but unless you request otherwise it's always the upcoming drawing
Just enjoy the $2 spent on fun day dream instead.
