The Powerball Jackpot is up to $245 million dollars tonight. I have my tickets. Am I going to win?

If you do, can I have a dollar?

Blindside,
Well, lets see. After taking a lump sum, that would cut my winnings to approximately $125 million. Then, subtract the inevitable taxes leaving me with, say, $87,500,000.00. If I give you a dollar then that leaves me with just $87,499,999.00. I think I could take the hit. Give me your address. Ron :)

The double post was a mistake. Blindside, that doesn't mean you get double.

Hey, what's with all theses double posts? Is it perhaps a good luck omen??? I swear I'm not doing this on purpose.

Are you going to win... Hmmm...
[Donning gypsy scarf and lighting candle...] I see a dark cloud over your ticket ... there is an evil influence ... wrap the ticket in this handkerchief, and do not open it for 7 days, or it will turn into worthless shredded newspaper ... and give me $700 to perform the ritual of the seven candles ... wait, make that $1400 ... and after a week you can open the handkerchief with the curse lifted. But not until then! There, satisfied? |

Thanks guys, but no luck (for me or anybody else it turns out). Oh well, now to get my tickets for the next ($300 million) drawing.
