Well, here we are again, facing a massive, and I mean massive, jackpot for the Powerball multi-state lottery. It's currently sitting at $1.7 billion. And as things generally go, when it strikes, it's likely going to go to a...

Are You Kidding Me???

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 6 Sep

Earlier today I made a pit stop at Casey's General Store, a convenience store and gas station well known around the Midwest, to get some beer and a Powerball ticket. [i]Just a friendly reminder that that jackpot is worth $1.8...

What If You Won?

LindaOH @LindaOHio (222417) • United States 3 Sep

The PowerBall jackpot is up to an amazing $1.3 billion; and by the time the drawing rolls around, it may even be higher. Cousin #2 and I are splitting 5 tickets. Are you playing? What would you do with the money if you...

Rinse and Repeat

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 31 Aug

Much to my surprise, when I checked the status of the Powerball drawing last night, no one won and now the jackpot has advanced to $1.1 billion. I was sure last night would be the night. Of the tickets I bought online, I had no...

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 30 Aug

Tonight, in all likelihood, someone's life will forever be altered by the multi-state, United States Powerball drawing. When jackpot numbers reach $1 billion or more, the anticipation and excitement over that alone drives people...

I'll Take $480,000 for $800,000 Please

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 22 Jun

I like to play the bigger lotteries like our state lottery that has a current jackpot of $10,550,000 and the Powerball which has a current jackpot of $128,000,000, but the little twice a day daily draw that starts off at $100,000...

Those Elusive Lottery Numbers

celticeagle @celticeagle (189833) • Boise, Idaho 16 Nov 24

First off, I don't play the lottery all the time. (Maybe I should if I really want to win, huh?) But, no. Just every few weeks on a Saturday. The powerball. So I have to chose 5 numbers and the powerball. I started doing the same...

Does This Mean I ALMOST Won the Powerball???

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 12 Oct 23

Okay. Not hardly. In fact, not even close. To be totally honest and fair, a million miles away. Farther than the distance between the Earth and Mars. In fact, not even in THIS solar system. I had three numbers on one of my online...

Trekking Out for My Share of That $1.725 Billion

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 11 Oct 23

Being the frugal guy I am, it seems absolutely counterintuitive the amount of money I have spent on Powerball tickets in the past couple of weeks as the prize amount nears $2 billion. But I have spent a crap ton. Nothing worse...

$1.4 Billion Now

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 5 Oct 23

If you've been paying attention to the news, no one won the $1.2 billion Powerball drawing last night and now the jackpot has boosted to $1.4 billion. I found it interesting that, as it was reported on the news, that only 20% of...

That Was Easy Enough

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 4 Oct 23

I thought I was going to run into a problem. But, as luck would have it, and luck is rarely on my side, it was no problem at all. The tags on my truck expired at the end of September and while I normally get a slip to take to the...

I am sure we have heard of the saying "You win some and then you lose some." In this case an Asheboro North Carolina resident named Jacob Strickland was sad that his favorite college football team the Clemson Tigers lost a...

A Missouri man who lives in O'Fallon and a friend went to a QuikTrip store with a close friend that he knew since they were in seventh grade to purchase a Powerball ticket on June 11. The catch is that the name of the lottery...

Remaining Anonymous

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 3 Jul 22

It's a law that I strongly support. That is, the option of remaining anonymous if someone wins a major lottery jackpot. I understand the lotteries want to have some level of transparency in showing there are actually real people...

Playing In Three States

Jim Bauer @porwest (112876) • United States 18 Mar 21

I have some Powerball tickets. Three to be exact at the moment. All for Saturday's drawing currently worth a cool $200 million. Not that having three tickets will increase my odds by all that much. The odds are typically 1 in...

It is amazing to learn that 28 years ago, that Tom Cook and his best friend Joseph Feeney shook hands on a deal in which both men made a promise to each other that if any on them would win the Powerball Lottery grand prize, they...
