[DrForester]

My powerball was 13. Do I get anything?

$4

 

[LyleLanley]

Damn, I really thought this was going to be my time. Now let us all pray that no one won.

 

[RobbieNick]

I got 2 numbers on one ticket :/

I got two in one row and that's it.

 

[NHL94]

Out of 10 lines I got 57 on 3 lines and 34 on another. That doesn't win me anything I don't think. Ah well, it was fun to be a part of the frenzy though.

Maybe no one will win.

 

[shem935]

This mean I have to go to work on monday?

 

[Jarrod38]

Martin Shkreli

That would be amazing.

 

[NomarTyme]

I hope someone won.

No i dont wanna waste my time and do this again

[MetatronM]

I hope someone won.

I hope nobody won just to see what happens to society when there's a $1.3 billion jackpot out there.

 

[TheAbsolution]

I want no one to win so I can go over this all over again.

 

[LProtag]

I hope someone won so I don't have to hear about everyone talking about the lottery again for a while.

 

[perfectchaos007]

I didn't win, but I predict there were 3 winners

 

[EroticSushi]

 

[BIG_V-G-V]

One ticket had 34 plus the powerball 13. Other ticket had the powerball number only.

 

[Chamber]

Well that was fun. See you guys next time.

 

[Pineapple]

Given the amount of tickets that have been purchased, I imagine at least a few people have won

Just imagine that for a second - there is probably someone in this country right now that just won hundreds of millions of dollars...and is probably celebrating like crazy.

 

[Dishwalla]

Gonna be pissed when the winning ticket was sold at the Harris-Teeter grocery store in Ghent, Norfolk, Virginia. I was in the right place, but it must've been the wrong time...

 

[Cormano]

I only matched the powerball. Does that get me anything?

 

[FeenixRising]

I'll be pissed if one was sold at the 7-11 off Colley Ave in Norfolk.

 

[backflip10019]

Fuck the lottery

 

[flaxknuckles]

I'm not going to look at my tickets..........I don't want to be disappointed.........

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Spent $10 and won $4. So I'm like the opposite of a winner.

 

[The Beard]

Welp, I won!

I knew it was coming, but this made me laugh.

 

[Azalean]

I only matched the powerball. Does that get me anything?

$4

 

[LyleLanley]

I'll be pissed if one was sold at the 7-11 off Colley Ave in Norfolk.

I'll be pissed if one was sold anywhere.

I believe the stats I saw estimated that there was about a 77% chance that someone would win tonight. Pretty good odds, but still a 23% chance that nobody won.

 

[Downhome]

One ticket I got two white balls, nothing else, so no prize. On one I got the Powerball number only so I win I think $4 or so. Oh well, haha.

 

[16BitNova]

I got 16 and 57 on two separate tickets. Woo

Dude same here! Lol

 

[Dishwalla]

I'll be pissed if one was sold at the 7-11 off Colley Ave in Norfolk.

Oh shit, you're right near me? Which one on Colley, near 21st Street?

 

[FeenixRising]

I'll be pissed if one was sold anywhere.

I honestly hope one was.... That it was the typical old person that lives in the middle of nowhere. Then I'll feel a lot better that it ain't some young person my age blowing their money all on Instagram while I'm all poor.

Oh shit, you're right near me? Which one on Colley, near 21st Street?

The one near 38th street.

Now I want Scott Steiner to explain lottery odds to me.

Prizes:

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

Congrats, dude.

Thanks, I'm already imagining all the ways I can spend my four dollars!

 

[Vault Dweller 111]

Even though I've gone through 21000 drawings in my 200 year simulation, and never made more than $100. I realllllly thought I had this in the bag.


Next time!

 

[Killing_Joke]

Our work pool had 3 god damn white numbers!! 2 freaking more. My private stash had jack shit. I really hope someone won, i hate spending money.

 

[oxidax]

Im going back to work tomorrow

I hope nobody wins so that the jackpot is over a billion!

 

[legacyzero]

BUPKIS

 

[LyleLanley]

Have you considered giving it to me?

 

[ricelord]

Thanks, I'm already imagining all the ways I can spend my four dollars!

Next time!

Hell that one dude went through at least sixty thousand years of drawings and STILL never won the jackpot.

 

[Ambient80]

I matched six numbers on one ticket. Does that get me anything?

Spoiler

 

[adamsappel]

I got the Powerball, so it was only a $6 loss!

 

[Quixzlizx]

I bought one ticket and matched the powerball, so I ended up making money tonight #jackpot

 

[Vyse24]

Prizes:

I hate how hitting the powerball and hitting a number with the powerball gives you the same prize.

 

[EloquentM]

Power play x3...

Don't all you powerball winners get $12?

 

[half a moon]

Won $7/$10 back

 

[PHOENIXZERO]

A BIG MAC!!

I saw this before the edit, should've kept it as Big Mic, I was going to throw back a Coming to America reference.

That sounds like a bigger losing option though.

I hate how hitting the powerball and hitting a number with the powerball gives you the same prize.

Yeah, that's some BS both big lotteries did when they screwed around with their prize tiers to make it look like people had a greater chance to win. They failed to mention that aside from the mega/power ball the payouts aside from the second prize were reduced... Actually the third tier one might not have been either but I don't remember exactly.
