Correct. You'd make an outstanding chairman of the Fed.

I wouldn't last long because I'd actually try to change things so I'm sure I'd be fired/shot.

It would be deemed a "suicide" though.

20 spot here. Hopefully I'll do better than the last time I did this a few years ago when I ended up with like 3 numbers...total out of 20 tickets. Think the best I've ever done (and I rarely play, usually only when it heads north of $100M) was like 2 plus a powerball worth @ $3.

Best justification I ever heard though was a friend who claimed the $20 was well worth the entertainment he got out of fantasizing about winning that much money.

It sucks that the numbers have to be in the exact order.

I know I have the right numbers...just may not have put them in order how they want them...

What? All my numbers go from low to high. I don't believe they need to match up as they come out.

The first ball has to be the first number on the ticket, the second ball the second number...and so forth.

So, if you match the first, third, and fifth balls, then you match three balls and win $150 or whatever the pot is.

You don't win if your first, second, and fourth numbers match the first, third, and fifth balls.

Wow. I had no idea how much money the states actually made on this. $800M for this drawing alone (not to mention prior ones where no winner was paid). Of course, the stores get their cut, too. But assuming it pays out a lump sum, then we're talking over $1B in profit just for this week's alone.

Gotta love the poor tax!
