Another chance to flush our money away without having to drive to WV or PA! Ohio will begin to sell Powerball along with the Mega Millions. I'll probably buy a ticket for the Saturday drawing.

Jackpot is $175 million for Wed... so if no one hits that, Ohio's first crack at the jackpot will be over $200 million.

I'm going to hit the Powerball and Mega Millions on the same day and then die of a drug and hooker overdose the next day. I leave my money to OhioChatter so they can fight the lawsuits from the other site.

Mega Millions: Tuesday and Friday
Powerball: Wednesday and Saturday

If you hit them on the Same day, you are some type of sorcerer

Back to back days works too though :)

Only check tickets on Thursday/Sunday and you could sort of win both the same day.

Nice...Ohio going with the Megaball in the first place was stupid. Powerball is where its at.

I've been playing both Mega Millions and Powerball in WV for a couple of months now.

Always had Powerball but just picked up Mega Millions.

When the two merge eventually, it's gonna be crazy stuff.

Mega up to $122 Million... same day that Powerball starts selling.

Retailers are going to be VERY busy Friday! It'll be even worse if no one hits Powerball tonight.

I have never purchased a lottery ticket. Powerball being available in Ohio won't give me an incentive to start.

I wish all of you luck and hope all of you win!

If your retirement plan includes the word lottery, you might be a redneck.
