[MineralMan]

My wife and I bought two tickets. One of them was the winner! We couldn't be more excited. Tomorrow, I'm heading down to the lottery place and turning in our ticket. WE WON!

$7.00

We got three numbers. We bet $4.00 and won $7.00! The PowerBall Lottery Rules!

We're Going to Taco Bell!

That's how excited we are! WE WON!!!11!

[NeoGreen]

11. Maybe you should think about taking the annuity...

...just sayin'

[central scrutinizer]

12. Me too!

I didn't buy any tickets (I have never bought one).

[Doctor Who]

13. Congrats MineralMan...

You gonna take the lump sum or the 20 year annuity?

[MineralMan]

22. It's all gone. We're paupers again.

I blew it all on crunchy tacos supreme. I am so ashamed...

[roguevalley]

14. you are my hero, mineralman. You won 9$ more than me. :D

[B Calm]

15. We bet $4.00 and won $4.00

[cascadiance]

16. I bought twice as many as I usually do, and didn't win anything last night...

I'm just hoping that we get a good DUer win sometime this year a big jackpot, and that this person can see the value to putting a big chunk in to progressive media outlets like FSTV or the like. We all have limits as to how much we can put in political campaigns, but if we invested in good progressive media sources that are so underfunded now, perhaps we could help have a good informed electorate before November when it counts to have an electorate make a good decision on this critical election!

18. I bought three tix.

I matched one number. My luck remains consistent.

[dixiegrrrrl]

19. Gotta set aside for those taxes, now.......

Seriously, can you use all your lottery losses to offset winnings...

[mnhtnbb]

20. I won

$4.00 for matching the Powerball on 1 of 10 tickets I bought. Hadn't bought a lottery ticket
in 20 years, so I figured I'd put in $20. Net ($16.) Doubt I'll buy another ticket for
another 20 years!

I did have about 4 other tickets that matched 1 number. If only I could have combined them!

[IDemo]

21. Better hire an accountant, a lawyer and a financial advisor

Might want to change your phone number, because you're going to have friends coming out of the woodwork now!

[awoke_in_2003]

23. Can I borrow a fin?

[MineralMan]

24. Six'll get you five, my friend...

[Number23]

25. Congrats, MM! You can put CHICKEN on your nachos with that $7!!

[Luciferous]

26. We also won $7. Oh well, better than nothing lol

[awake]

27. Thank you for paying a voluntary tax

your money will help our city and schools....

[Liberal_in_LA]

28. LOL. pure profit!

[ladyVet]

29. Heck yeah! We won $8. Don't bother asking for a loan. We already bought Megamillions tickets. nt

[ProfessorGAC]

30. Exact Same Thing, MM

I got $7 on a $4 ticket, too.

Well, with gas prices as they are, that's at least 1.7 gallons of free gas.
