Did anyone else play the Mega Powerball last night?

I played $40 and won back $4. Nobody won the jackpot so the next one will be Est. $425 million. Do you think you'll be playing the next one. Also, have you or someone you know ever won the lottery?

Yup, we didn't win anything. My husband is in charge of lottery tickets - I am not generally a player. Usually if the jackpot is over $100 million he will get tickets. We have no expectation of winning, but often we win back whatever was spent on the tickets or a little more.

I forgot about it ... so I guess I'll play this round. The last time I played, I was only off by 6. :)

I played but only bought one ticket and didn't win anything. A few months ago I did hit the powerball so I at least got back what I put into the ticket. I generally only play when it gets really high though, because you never know. I will probably have to venture out and pick up one for the new drawing before Wednesday. I will never hit it but at least it is nice to imagine.

I don't play the lottery because of the saying: "The lottery is a tax on the stupid."

I take a chance at the lottery, when it gets big. It is fun to imagine what you could do with the loot.

425 million, I could buy a senator, state rep, a judge or two, man I could really live like the super wealthy do.

I might even hire someone to click my mouse for me :)

@curtisuxor: I share your sentiment. The OP spent $40 but won $4 back! That sounds like -$36 to me. :(

Can't win if you don't play. I buy tickets once a week. Still in the hole.

If, no, when I win on Wednesday, I'll buy one of everything on Woot and by my Mama a house.

Keep ya updated. Good luck to all...

Played and lost. Really want it just to payoff bills. I honestly think i would continue to work even if i won.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
