winterhug — Wed, 19 Jul 2023 11:07:32 GMT

Yes I know it is a curious bit of research. I just wanted to let the non believers know that birthday numbers are jackpot winners just like any other numbers. At least the experts are always saying don't play birthday numbers because one would be leaving out numbers over 31 and the jackpot would most likely be shared with others with the same numbers. No matter what number one plays it has a chance of being a winner.

I'm going to change my playing strategy.

Instead of buying 2 or 3 quick picks with the power play, I'm going to close my eyes and throw darts at my dart board.

Why would I do that? Because quick picks aren't winning for me.

This is totally true - the winner has to sever ties with certain aspects of their life and certain people and I would add that they should not pick up new habits that would be detrimental to their continued success.

Sometimes I feel like winning is the easy part. The hard work comes in after the fact.

Been living outside the US since 2011 and with jackpots soaring, I've availed the services of TheLotter since 2021. Though I haven't won big (yet), sure hope things will change in the upcoming draw.

The only downside of using this butler service is that a 3-combination set (the least you can buy in the website) will set you back $15 (up from $6) ! I understand the convenience that it brings (being stationed abroad and all), but still...that's more than double!

Winning a large sum of money like that changes a life forever. In order to succeed, a winner might be forced to sever ties with certain aspects of their life and certain people. That's probably the hardest thing to do after winning.

There's no way a person's life can stay the same after such a windfall.

it means if you don't play, then you don't win. Lottery is a number game. it's color blind.

ticket sale in the previous draw actually went down in comparison to the draw before that. it was $142M only.

last year sale when the jackpot was `$1B. the tick sale was $264M, then it went on to $2B, someone in CA won it.

With such a huge amount one does not need to venture into complicated investments.

It went from $875,000,000 to $900,000,000

The real increase was from an actual annuity of 830 to an advertised annuity of 900, which is 7/8 of the 750 to 830 increase from Wednesday to Saturday. The final tally for Monday was actually 922, which is fairly impressive considering that sales for a Monday drawing have only been bigger than sales for the previous Saturday once.

The jackpot should be around $1.6 - $1.9

Please someone help me understand - how would someone spend through the current PB jackpot and be broke after 7 years.

In a state that does not tax the lottery - the take home amount is $325,621,045.

If you invest this amount in the 12 month Treasury Bill at a 5% interest per annum (current rate is 5.34%) you'll make $16,281,052.25 before taxes.

Take out maximum tax at 37% and you are left with $10,257,062 annually.

I won $16 with Powerplay using some other numbers I like. I might play birthday numbers too this time but one difference is since I'm over 50, I'll play my birth year as well because that will be in the higher numbers of the matrix which don't get played much.

When I play my own numbers. I usually pick 5 and let the machine pick the Powerball. Do you do the same or do you pick your own Powerball?

Just curious.

Great info. It is possible, but others have the same birthday, anniversary, etc., so the winner may end up sharing but with $1billion, multiple winners could still walk away with a good amount of money.

I won $16 on one of my tickets so I'll be playing at the Powerball's expense tomorrow!

Good luck to all

FYI Michigan players

PB JP odds - 292,201,338 to 1

Cash after taxes MI on $516,800,000

$303,620,000 (no city income tax)

$293,284,000 (max city income tax)

So even if you are in one of the dozens of cities that have the income tax you still have about the exact odds in prize money after taxes for the JP
