Powerball is at $425 million
Are you going to buy a ticket? I've got mine! What would you buy if you won?
Also, friendly reminder: As usual, whenever the lottery gets huge, people rush to buy tickets, and some of them buy dozens or even hundreds.

Don't buy more than one ticket!
Of course, you can't win if you don't play, and spending a buck is unlikely to break the bank for most people. But don't spend more than that if you do play -- statistically, your odds of winning are almost the same (near zero) whether you're buying one or a hundred tickets.

Edited by RIP delta: 8/8/2013 2:59:01 AMFoman you appear to have the lottery tactic I have - ignore it until the prize gets stupidly big. Last ticket I bought was for the Euro-Millions with a purse of £180m ($280m). One ticket at £2. Didn't win tho
