    You know, if you bought more lottery tickets we'd probably already have an NHL team. I don't think you really want one.

    Me either. But Saturday's will (I suspect) be over $700M, so I'll give it another shot!

    Only play numbers over 31, that way you will be less likely to split the jackpot with others if you win.

    I didn't win obviously. I had two sets of numbers (went in and got two lines with a coworker), my wife had 18 lines (went in with her coworkers) and out of all the plays, only 1 line even had 1 winning number.

    Now everyone at my work is going crazy, so 20 of us put in $5 and now have 50 lines for saturday lol

    50 lines and still maybe just one winning number.

    What's Oregon's tax situation? How much would you take home?

    Here the take is 89% but the pots are smaller (largest now at $44-million CDN).

    Some dude from the Kurdish region in Iraq recently won 6.4m dollars from the Oregon State lottery. I could probably get buy with $44 CDN, but do you ever think of rolling down across the border and buying some tickets for Powerball?

    It's about a 3-hour drive from here to Babb, MT. I'd have to have had a prophetic dream or something to make that trip.

    Went in today to 7-11 and the girl asked if I wanted any Powerball tickets. I said, "What. Is that some like some big joke on the poor or something?" She agreed with me. Yeah. I know- -Buzz Killington! But I can't see it any other way.

    Worth a buck for the entertainment, the envisioning of wild impossible dreams for a few hours. Haven't bought one in years but I probably will tomorrow.

    When I win I will buy the bucks and trade Jabari Parker and GA to the Blazers for kaman and project pat

    I bought 5 tickets ($10 total)

    Two of my tickets had the winning powerball of 13. Won $8.

    $1.3+ billion next Wednesday. Crazy.
