Gotta win the Power Ball

Start being nice to me ladies, I'm winning the lottery this week lol

I wonder if you had the money if it's possible to buy up all combinations of numbers in the three day period.

You are screwed if more than 3 people win but...

Odds hitting on 4 whites and the powerball......1 in 913,129. That'll pay you $50K on a $2 ticket....nice.

Odds hitting on 5 whites but missing the powerball JUMP to 1 in 11,688,053. That'll fetch you a cool million.....even nicer.

Odds hitting the whole thing: 1 in 292,201,338. A projected $1.4 billion jackpot that'll yield a cash value of $868 million. Is there a word in the human language to describe doing that?

You could throw quite the celebration party, right? You and about 20+ of your Bucket List providers.....for starters.

How would you outlaw it? They are just buying tickets.

Now it's at $1.5 B with a cash payout of $930 million....

Still a long ways from touching Spain's El Gordo Lottery, which hit $2.45 B December 2015.
A year earlier.....it was a record $2.7 B.

So Glad My Name starts With A B!!!

I'm not greedy. I'll take the 900k on the $929.9 jackpot lol.
