Thanks Rod. Spent the better part of yesterday driving to Georgia and back (with my brother; he was off yesterday). We then saw Star Wars (been wanting to watch it but hadn't yet). Since I read every freaking spoiler out there (was going to just blow off watching the movie), I was not as excited as I would have been if I would have watched it the first day, but it was alright. I purchased breakfast and a lunch snack (before the movie) and my brother bought us tickets and even purchased a bucket of popcorn (he was wanting to buy a bucket for this year anyway; they give you free refills for the rest of the year (but only once per visit) and cokes. I was tired by the time I got home yesterday (very late afternoon; actually twilight), but now I don't have a zero percent chance of winning. lolol

Sounds like you had a great time. I have yet to see the Star Wars movie. :bigthup

Someday it will be on Netflix :lol

. I like the idea of free popcorn and cokes for the year though!

Well; some partial good news. I got a matching powerball number. I wonder how much the powerball by itself is worth? lol

4 bucks! I also matched the 10 with one powerball number. 3 peeps won the entire amount 400 mil each. Split that in half for gov taxes and you get 200 mil each. So where is the other 1 billion? Obamas pocket :lol

I'm just not interested in winning. Wouldn't know what to do with it.

Sorry O; just don't believe you. lol

Looks like you and me both were at least lucky enough to be able to peck at some of the cash, Rod, but, unlike you, I doubt I will ever collect mine since a 200 mile round trip would cost me more in gasoline (not to mention wear and tear) than the $4 bucks that I would collect. lol

Still, if my brother visits me, I'll give him the ticket or if I do visit him within the next 2 months (one of these scenarios will more than likely happen), my brother works in GA (30 miles from where he lives) so I'll give him the ticket then regardless. At least we won something in my family. lolol

Idk if this is the guy that won but if it is, it's worth a chance. https://twitter.com/bragg_erick

He's giving away his money. lol

I believe you O, I'm not interested in winning money either.
If it comes my way I won't say no but I won't actively go out and try to win it.
