   If you won you’d be richer than Mutt and could tell him what to do. Oops, wait a minute. Didn’t we do that election day?

   Clay, I’m glad you didn’t win. I enjoy your work. BTW: Three times more likely to be killed by a falling coconut than win the powerball. Be careful on vacation!

   Hey, everybody has the same chance to win — whether they play or not.

   Funny—he has drawn a torn-up Powerball ticket that is actually worth at least $2, since 6 was the Powerball number drawn last. Funny!

   You won’t win unless you’re in, even one ticket (that’s about my speed… the only way I play is in our work pool). I don’t think any of will be quitting our jobs soon!

   And a good end to the national hysteria.

   For Two Bucks it’s a great entertainment value. Any more and you just don’t understand the math.

    Wow, there were 2 winning tickets, so 6 people were killed by falling coconuts around the same time.

    That’s probably the fatality rate per year, not per Powerball drawing. And what’s with the complaining about taxes? The winner has the benefit of the lowest tax rate on this kind of winning since about World War II. Are you worried that if tax rates go up, people won’t win the Powerball?

    I hereby volunteer to win the lottery and then be taxed to deah.

    Absolutely right! And they won’t invest in anything, either. And they won’t innovate anything, ‘cause if they can’t get a tax rate of under 15%, it just ain’t worth it.

    I question the claims that this or that is more likely than winning the lottery. Whomever comes up with those comparisons must live in Florida. They are always things like falling coconuts, shark attacks, or getting struck by lightning. I’ll concede the lightning, even for a non-golfer, but coconuts and sharks are scarce in Appalachia.

    I’ve noticed that under the current tax rate the job creators have been flooding the market these past 12 years. They’re just coming out of the woodwork with jobs aren’t they?
