I bought 10 Power Ball instead of my usual mix that I do each week. I figure that it will go tonight. I hope that a group of people get to share in the winnings.

Can Kathy & I get on your "Vintage pals" list?

Somebody commented today at work that Powerball had announced that there would be a winner tonight..... don't know if every possible combination had been chosen?

There's nothing on there web site. Based on the volume it's a very high probability there will be a winner and probably several.
Based on random selection it would take an incredible number of bets to cover every combination.

If htere isn't a winner tonight Saturdays Jackpot will be ridiculous.

I heard there is only a 60% chance of a winner, so pretty far from every number being selected.

I'd wage there are a lot of people like me: I cannot remember the last time I bought a lottery ticket, but 3 of us at work pooled a few bucks for this one.

I need to talk to those folks over at the lottery, somethings wrong.
I've played at least 12 times and haven't won yet. Don't they realize I really want that jackpot......
