Powerball Jackpot

[Turn the Page]

A refresher for my fellow geriatric DIS members, and perhaps an introduction for the young'uns.

Huh. I thought that was a Reality Bites reference. I had no idea the line in Reality Bites was a reference to something.

My response was a reference to another line in that scene.

Arizona wasn't listed as a state that allows the formation of a trust to remain anonymous, maybe that's how the reporter got around it? Anyway, I think winners should be able to remain anonymous if they wish. Imagine the people coming out of the wood work after someone wins tonight's drawing - not just very distant family members and their friends but every scammer you can imagine.

I didn't "get" your original response. I saw Reality Bites, but don't really remember much about it.

I'm GUESSING the poster who said he/she'd like to buy the world a coke was referring to those early 1970s TV commercials. Maybe he/she will come back and make it clear.

I heard advice given to anyone winning this massive prize: Unplug your phone and move out the same day.

I think in FL you are just screwed. Maybe I can pay someone to collect it for me!! I would find anyway around not being named or i would try to change my license and any other records they can get a hold of to throw people off to where i actually lived. its a nightmare that they dont let you remain anonymous. i would hate for people to know I won

 

[Dentam]

Estimates are that if no one wins tonight it'll jump to 1.3 billion for Wednesday's drawing. I'd be shocked if no one won tonight though considering the high number of people playing now.

^^That is hilarious!!

My mom just emailed me asking if they'd won anything since they'd matched the numbers 2 and 11. Had to tell her that those numbers were from Wednesday's drawing and tonight's hasn't happened yet. lol

You are correct! I was referencing the "teach the world to sing" commercial.

My streak continues - didn't match one number.

 

[Mirielle]

Never played before but did tonight. Got 2 numbers right. Does that pay a few cents?

Nope... unless you matched the powerball also!

Awww...

DS matched the powerball #13 and had one other number~ $4 WINNER!!!!!!!! LOL....as jeep wrangler owner, that's 2 gallons of gas, and as he says, it's smiles per gallon.

 

[Dentam]

Awww...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news - at least you matched two which is way better than I did!

 

[RedAngie]

I WON!!!! Well, one of my 10 bets matched the power ball number 13. So that's four bucks.

Looks like there won't be enough to share my winnings with everybody who liked my prior posts. Sorry to those I have to exclude.
