Power Ball again

If only considering your 4 hands then, approximately .... one in 40000^4 or 64 followed by 16 zeros. The odds of winning powerball are much better and pays better to boot.

The best thing to do if you hit a big lottery jackpot is fill out the IRS form showing that it was a group effort.

That way you can show what each of your relatives "won" and they will pay the income taxes on it. From what I gather, it is better than accepting the whole prized and gifting it to your relatives. They would have to then pay gift taxes after you paid income taxes on the winnings. That is unless you only give each relative $10K per year.

Supposedly, one ticket sold in Florida. Don't know about the other states. Guy at the poker room got an "alert" on his smart phone.

I splurged and bought 3 quick pick tickets on the way to play poker. I folded them, and have not looked at those ticket numbers. Probably won't until Monday or Tuesday, just to keep the dream alive. ::: shrug :::

The big winner is the IRS. I also had bought 3 tickets so I be part of the excitement. Looking forward to hearing from the winner. I wonder how long it will take him/her to come forward.

The winning ticket was sole at a Publix Supermarket in Zephyrhills, near Tampa, Fl. A small community. (pop. 10,000?)

I have not looked at my ticket numbers yet as I did not purchase them at Publix, or near Zephyrhills.

They also stated that the jackpot is $590,500,000 instead of 600 million. About 235 million tickets sold for this drawing. Texas was selling them at the rate of 32,000 every minute.

At $2.00 each, that's .... um........ errrr.......... ah......... eh............. a lot of money and dreams.
