Yeah 40 mill, but they changed how many numbers to chose from. That increased the jackpot odds to 1 in 292 million, but they say the odds are now better for more lower tier payouts.

Lotto starts at $2M. If I play, I usually play lotto because the odds are better and I'll be good with $2M. I'm buying a PowerBall ticket for the next drawing though. I think if I won any of them I'd get a lawyer, talk to an accountant (probably my brother) and my financial advisor before showing up for my money.

When it was $2 mil there were a lot less states involved. That was a "few" years ago.....Lol

Well I will be picking some more up, what the heck, someone has to win it, and you can't win it, if you are not in it, and I already have a personal financial planner, who would work for me exclusively, he is currently a president of Well's Fargo, My brother in law. His son is the CFO for another bank out of England, so I have some pretty guys to give me a hand with investment stratifies.

It's a dream as long as you don't go out and get into hock up to your neck counting on the dream coming true.. LOL

A few years ago a guy and his wife figured out if they sold everything and borrowed as much as they could and buy tickets they would make a killing. The net result was they reduced their net worth to about a quarter of the pre-lottery plan. And didn't have a pot because they owed on the loans.

Are those TODAYS #s or the last draw? Where was that restaurant group that all quit their job Sat nite based on 'hitting' the 900Mill?

Oops, they used the previous draw's #s. Sorry guys, back to your day jobs....

Good luck to any and all

Unlike the restaurant workers, those are the 1/13 numbers drawn.


I don't hear the any doors slamming to rush down to the state lottery office to make a claim. LOL

It's been 2 1/2 hours and still no official word. It will be over $2B if no one hits. I just want these stupid news reports about how much a winner takes home. They make it sound like several hundreds of millions of dollars puts a winner in the poor house.

The Ca. lottery website doesn't show a winner. But anything is possible. I remember a winner a few years ago who either had a fake winning ticket or a modified ticket. I think their room and board is free for them now.

The local station that airs the drawing has a news crew at the Atlanta lottery office to get that breaking news every 15 minutes. :facepalm:
