Firetiger(MN) · December 19, 2002

Just curious if anyone plays the Powerball lottery? Up to $160 million tonight and would be a nice early Christmas present!

I've got a ticket that I had my mom pick up for me when she was in Arizona a few days ago. That sure would be a nice present for me, especially since my 21st bday is in a few days too... :thumb:

I bought a few myself.

Ya I bought two and my mom bought three. We matched the powerball on the last one, just none of the other five numbers though.

Good luck everyone!

I won seven dollars.

I won seven dollars.

Nothing like a little unexpected lunch money. :thumb:

I don't think so, the website says Next Powerball Jackpot Estimate

Saturday, December 21, 2002 $215 Million ($116.8 Million- cash option)

If I win, A home or two (nothing to spectacular though) and new Lambo and Viper SRT-10 are first on my list of things for myself... Id probably keep my truck and rig it all out too, just so I could remain a legit member here...

Heck, if I won I'd build a new house, own a vette, some fs chevy trucks, a 67 'maro, and drop a v8 in my Xtreme and also buy a crewcab 4x4 S-10 Zr2.(just to have it, I love S-10's and I need something to go camping with)

After that I'd probably spend a lot of it racing at thunder valley and forest hill speedway. Dirt track racing + enough money to build a decent car= FUN

Would you people pick the cash option (you get about half the money but you get it all right away) or the annuity option (get it all, but it takes about 29 years to get it)?

I think I'd go with the cash option myself.

I spent my 7 dollar winnings on 7 more tickets today.

Defintely go with the cash option. I think they take all the taxes out right away and still get a heft chunk of cash. heck I could probably live comfortable for the rest of my life on just 8 million bucks.
