All those wannabe millionaires who played Powerball in the hopes of winning the $260 million jackpot will be at work Thursday after none of them matched all the numbers from Wednesday night’s drawing.

Saturday’s jackpot has now swelled to a robust $320 million, which could easily rise before the weekend. The cash option for the jackpot right now is an estimated $198.3 million.

Wednesday night’s Powerball was the 12th consecutive drawing with no winner. In case you were wondering, the numbers were 13, 14, 17, 43, 54 and the Powerball was 15.

Wife already did. And she says you needn't bother buying some yourself since she is going to win. LOL>

The odds of getting attacked by a great white shark in a public swimming pool are infinitely greater than the odds of winning the Powerball. Buying that $2 ticket means that's two less 20 oz. bottles of Mountain Dew I can consume.

Lotteries are a tax on the stupid. You have a five-MILLION percent better chance of being killed by a Micronesian terrorist than winning the lottery.

Do you think the person who won is ''stupid'' for playing the lottery?

I rarely play the lottery and when I do its just for entertainment. I'd rather buy a necessity or invest in stocks than risk not getting my $2 back.

You may say $2 just this once but over a while you will find that chances of winning are rare and it does waste $$$.

Being a Christian I would normally vote NO but due to the financial challenges in my family I am going to pray about an perhaps buy some tickets. If I should win it will benefit a lot of people.
