Oh Man!!! If I won that I would quit my job and post here every day NON-STOP!!!


If you won you could hire a team of monkeys to post here on your account.

I bet no one would notice.

The odds of winning are the same.

People tend to favor certain numbers (birthdays, anniversaries, sports numbers...) so while picking your own numbers gives you the same odds to win, it can increase the odds that you will have the same numbers as someone else and split the prize.


Redkay is right about something for once.

I saw someone on TV who has won like 10 times and he said no quick picks. Always play your same numbers. I have not bought lottery tickets in years.

Like a fisherman I know says, "ou have to go to know".... you have to play to have a chance.

IT doesn't matter. Picking your own numbers doesn't increase your chance of winning whatsoever. It's 100% pure luck, nothing else.

I'll have to rethink my logic. New developments indicate my earlier comments must be wrong.

The one monkey I have right now would want a raise.

I went to buy tickets today but the jackpot was only 50 million. Then I found out this wasn't Powerball it is something else.
