Nope.  Lotteries are taxes on the mathematically challenged.

Good morning Kevin. Do you have to buy a ticket to win?

I will either be investing for my future or donating to "common core"

I don't think so, Kevin. I've never purchased a ticket in my life. No time to run out to do so when the odds of winning are infinitesimal. 

I find it amazing with all those ticket sales there is no winner! Shows how bad the odds are but its still a thrill. Yes I will buy 1.

No.   

I play whenever the spirit moves me (never winning) and I didn't play last night. Not sure if the spirit will move me this time.

Sounds as promising as my New Year's Resolutions.

Not planning to

Was the drawing last night ? I do not buy lottery tickets .

That is true. I just might do it.

I never buy them.  Although buying one would allow for a few hours of dreaming about what to do with the money- maybe worth the $2.00 just to dream for some!

HI Kevin J. May I think this round is definately deserving of a chance.  Can't win if you don't try!

Purchasing a ticket (or two, or three) is on the grocery list for today. :0)

I don't but my bride does buy a ticket now and then.

Sure, I'll be an idiot ....

yes, I will..... and not a quick pick..... I have my numbers....

I typically don't play powerball even when it gets high.  My husband surprised me by wanting to get a couple last night.  He laughs at me when I occasionally buy a megamillions (only a buck a shot, not the horribly expensive two bucks)

Nope!  Not in my DNA to stand in line to give my $ away.

What are your chances of winning?

Kevin J. May If I pass a 7-Eleven today.

We occasionally buy such tickets just because it's fun to have a chance - no matter the odds.  We donate alot and winning the lotto and donating on a bigger scale (like donating buildings and huge amounts of money for projects) would be absolutely the greatest.

We have a group of agent, within our office, who throw in $2 each, and share a pool of tickets.  Clearly we didn't win last night.  Will we throw another $2 bucks??

You betcha!  As my father used to say "someone has to win... why not me?"

Of course.

Thanks for the reminder....... May be we all will be retiring.

I went to a Vietnamese shop to buy a pair slippers. The guy came did quick picks got 1/2 of $110M  at same store.

Oh well.

Why not?? What do you have to lose?

You can not win if you do not play, therefore  will be buying a ticket

Powerball is not sold in Canada.

I always forget to go buy one.

Good morning Kevin, time to make the $2.00 investment! Enjoy your day!

You bet I am.   Going to go get it today before the line starts

in pools

Why not, sometimes you have to dream a little...

Kevin - The higher the lottery gets, the more people throw money at it, the higher the lottery gets...

I would do better putting that $2 in my gas tank,  I'll be miles ahead of the game!

Maybe for giggles

I was all set to , but then lady luck smiled my way. It turns out that I'm the only heir to a 21 Million cash estate located in Uganda according to Barrister Nyrobi . He found me thru a Google search and as soon as the $5,000 processing fee I sent him clears I'll start receiving Regular installments from my long lost families fortune ! I'd rather go with a Sure Thing !

A lot of people I would rather give that two dollars to than a government gambling establishment.

I am SO not a gambler, but may actually spend FIVE DOLLARS for a ticket, or will it need to be $6?

We usually do not buy lottery tickets.

However, I do like to dream about what I would do with the money.
