Powerball game is played in 44 of the 50 States plus Washington DC, US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico

The Jackpot tonight is 1.5 BILLION dollars......Yes, that's right 1.5 BILLION , it's rolled over twice a week with no winners now for quite a few weeks

I was very surprised to hear Nevada does not sell Lottery tickets.......along with Utah, Mississippi, Alabama , Hawaii and Alaska

Surprised as in the fact that Nevada and Mississippi both make very large revenues from gambling ventures

Wish me luck, I bought 4 tickets costing 2 USD each ....roughly just over five quid ......With odds of about 290 million to one to actually strike the big one

With all those tickets being sold nationwide they reckon roughly 80 per cent of the possible winning number combinations have been sold already so you just never know

On May 18, 2013, the largest jackpot in the game's history, and the largest prize on one ticket (approximately $590,500,000 annuity), was won. On June 5, Florida Lottery officials announced the winner, Gloria C. MacKenzie, 84, who purchased the "quick pick" ticket at a Publix supermarket in Zephyrhills, Florida. MacKenzie chose the cash option (approximately $370,800,000 after Federal withholding, as Florida does not have a state income tax).



Bless her cotton socks,............this 84 year old granny became an instant multi millionaire in a town not far from me and I can recall she never claimed the prize for quite a while, it was all over the local news .......but they do give you 180 days to claim otherwise the cash goes back into the next kitty

I also bought my tickets from a Publix Supermarket this week .....Uncle Sam will take a huge chunk naturally , about 45 per cent in tax of the winnings but still a nice little cash nest egg


Any other BlueNoses in the US playing ??

Damn! I thought this thread was to tell us you'd won the lottery and you were going to treat us all to five year season tickets.

Haven't won it yet, Blacksmith

The draw is tonight

Should put me in a prime position to buy BCFC outright......plus purchase St Andrews lock, stock and barrel as well

Imagine that, eh ?? I wonder if some will start being nice to me if I strike it big :break: *paper*

Nah ! Billy Connolly and Sean Connery are pushing on a bit ..........No experience at football management

Jimmy Calderwood might be worth a shout but has only managed in Scotland and Holland ........and then there's Sir Alex Ferguson who once lived in Small Heath but he's probably enjoying retirement

:ball:

I got the lone Powerball number (10) but none of the first five numbers , fatlad ....

I win $4 so I'll probably just buy another couple of tickets for Saturday's draw......OR a couple of jumbo cans of lager :lager:

Think I'll go with the booze

Where did you get that story from about the 17 year old ?

The winning tickets in Florida and California have not been claimed by anyone yet (as of Friday pm)

The Tennessee winners were a married couple who have just appeared on TV .....and their ticket has yet to be processed and verified by the State officials.....there are sure to be some scammers out there attempting to make forged copies of the winning numbers
