1. Got my 5 tickets ready

Not going to buy anymore.

[B2G]

2. Ditto. nt

[MiniMe]

3. I only bought 2

I used to buy 5 until they went up to $2 each. I did ask for the winning ticket when I bought it. I'm sure everybody does that

[yeoman6987]

4. Winning ticket. That is true everyone does.

5. Don't worry, winning that won't change me...

I guarantee it.

6. Bought mine in a state where you don't have to reveal your identity if you win

No way i'd want my name out there if i won that kind of money.

7. A suckers play....

To entice people who don't know any better into spending food dollars on a fools dream.

[MohRokTah]

8. For everybody except the fool that holds the winning ticket.

$2 is a pretty cheap price for hopes and dreams, especially when compared to other entertainment values.

[clarice]

11. Yes...I agree...but ONLY for entertainment value... I have never bought a lottery ticket....

and refuse to be sucked into that Government swindle.

[NightWatcher]

9. Yeah, cause that $2 is what stood between me starving and having a full belly

Two little dollars can give you a reason to dream about living a fairy tale existence, if only for a day or two.

[clarice]

10. Missing the point. nt

[NightWatcher]

13. When I win I'm buying you a convertible sports car with a kick ass sound system

[MohRokTah]

12. I spent my $2 Sunday morning after finding out nobody won Saturday night.

Four days of dreaming about being personally richer than Romney for $2 is pretty damned cheap entertainment.

14. Our store had a powerball only today at customer service

They have never had that before. I got ours.
