normally i would say not to waste your money... but the way i look at the lottery is this... SOMEONE has to win, and whoever that is will say "i never thought it could be me!"... well, you bought a ticket, didn't you? No one's harmed by a little fun lotto... now if anyone is inspired by this post, to go play, and you win, i want a little cut. It's only fair...

Sure if you want to give me the winning numbers
before the close of ticket sales of Wed.
Hopefully it's not a PC user that wins, I'd hate to see someone squander the winnings on Wintel equipment.
And it's only $280 million dollars right now. Don't expect a huge pop in the number if it rolls over.
The new changes enacted recently - October 6, 2002.
Besides the pick 5 numbers from a pool (1 to 53) and 1 for the powerball (1 to 42), the
Match 5 Bonus Prize - this is 5 white balls from the (1 to 53) - is all new.
The Match 5 caps the increase in the Powerball jackpot to $25 million per rollover in record territory - anything above that get split amongst the days $100k winners as the Match 5 Bonus Prize, when there is a Powerball winner.
