700 million dollars

[walrus]

We have various state lotteries here in the us. One of them called powerball now has a jackpot of 700 million dollars. Odds of winning are something like 350 million to 1. People are getting lotto fever.tickets are 2 bucks a piece. When its this high I usually get 2or 3 tickets. Do you guys across the pond get things like this. I think the record win on this powerball was close to 600 million a while back.

@walrus. Last night I won $100 on Powerball. I knew I was going to win all day and I had that $524 million spent. ..

Dude, I know exactly what you mean. Congrats on the 100 I never won that in my 15 years of poweball playing.

Yeah we have the lottery (£2 a ticket) and the Euro lottery which can go over a £100 million. As a coincidence we currently have a rollover in this country with a £60 million pot up for grabs.

I never buy a ticket but my old mum does religiously.

If I had 700 million dollars I would buy my friend Gandalf a new robe and budget a new LOTR movie but so it is all about him. He gets jealous that the younger actors get more screen time. He has an ego the size of a bus! I do love him though.

I get the Thunderball where the maximum win is £250,000 which is sufficient for me and I get small (40%) winnings from £3 I put in each time.
