What are the chances of that
The US is getting that money back lol jk
No matter the stock market crash one needs to have different portfolio, I already invested in Forex and Crypto which are really profitable
I wish to win 🥇 life is amazing isn’t it
Hope is a dirty trick people pull on each other but in Powerball's case they mock you by not even giving your the real odds and just phoning it in.
I wanna win here in Seattle Washington 😊 give me those lucky numbers
I'd be happy with a tiny fraction
I dont trust it, its computerized, they can know the combination that wasnt taken. also its always like this every year nearing the holidays make the prize so high advertise it and take money from people who dont know better.
I tried to buy more tickets after 9pm central/10 pm eastern. I went to a gas station. I also went Kroger. They scanned in my playslips. The machines said "Drawing already in progress." Time changed yesterday for us here in central time zone. Still, Powerball machines should not have malfunctioned. Powerball website states the drawing is at 10:59pm eastern.
Gosh i wonder who and when someone will win that pool of money. 7w7
Gambling is driven by greed, which God hates. People hope to gain money through the losses of others, but the Bible condemns coveting other people’s possessions. Gambling, even for small amounts, can arouse a destructive love of money. Gamblers often rely on superstitions or luck. However, God views such beliefs as a form of idolatry, which is incompatible with his worship and go against his will.
The world (this system of things) promotes a desire to get something for nothing, and the Bible encourages hard work. Those who follow the Bible’s advice can eat the food they earn, and share it with others. Saying that you'll help the homeless if you win, is about as correct as being Robinhood— a thief stealing from one person to give to another. It's wrong, period. Did you do a good deed by desiring your neighbor's losses, so you can gain the winnings?
Gambling can arouse an unhealthy competitive spirit, which is disapproved of in the Bible. If a person wants to help your fellow man, the first step is to pray and ask for wisdom in all your decisions, so the prayer falls within God's will. If you are participating in activities or deeds that go against his will, your prayers will only be heard by the rocks in your backyard—no one.
The more I learned the Bible's truth, the freer I became from this system of things in this selfish world, where everyone only looks out for number one. This world teaches us to be independent and not care about being considerate towards others. We live in me and my world. Please leave God out of your prayers when asking for lottery winning numbers. He is not going to participate in your selfish desires to gain something for nothing 🙏🏼
The truth will set you free. The world will soon end but a better world is near 🌎 🌱 Thank you for listening and may we all make the correct decisions in life before the conclusion of this system of things comes to its end very soon. The devil will distract us with everything to keep us away from hearing the [good news]. Why isn't anyone noticing all the prophecies occurring at the same time, and all the worldly distractions to keep us busy and not make time to hear the ‘good news’?
1.9 billion in the states is not 1.9 billion. You get like 800 million. Such a scam! Here in Canada if the lottery was at 1.9 billion you get the full 1.9 billion, we pay no taxes on lottery winnings.
I'm going to build a spaceship for kanye to ride to other planet
If I won that much money I would give most of it back to the homeless and people in need in general.
Lottery, a tax for stupid people who are bad at math
