Default $340 Million Powerball

It's airplane-buying time again. It's been almost 3 years!!

http://www.powerball.com/
$340 million dollar prize. Drawing on Wednesday evening.

http://www.powerball.com/content/pressreleases/Powerball20021226-0.shtm
12-25-2002 (Christmas Day)

Last time around the (aviation) winning numbers we
F5, F14, F16, B29, C53, + 7

I'm buying two (2) ticket ...for me.

I'll also buy one for each of these (3) Groups ...big spender.
'Golden Rule' applies if one of these tickets wins - 'The one with the
gold...'

So what numbers :-)
Best reasons for various picks will be selected.

(1-55) Pick 5 white balls
(1-42) Pick 1 Red Powerball
White ball picks are all different.
Red Powerball may be the same number as a white ball.

(No need to pick 'em all if you just want to include a lucky number or two)

I'll buy the tickets in Minnesota at, or around, 7pm (CST) on Wed 19th, and
post the numbers before the drawing.

5 numbers -- 12 17 03 (Wright's first flight) 07 06 (Next Oshkosh)

Powerball -- ?? (Jay, help me here) (Number of rooms in Jay's hotel.)


Then again, people who bet on the lottery are the C students in my
Probability and Statistics class {;-)

It is only gambling when you don't win.

I live an hour away from Reno, and I haven't lost a dollar at blackjack in
ten years. Sure, it takes me three or four hours to come back from a losing
streak, but it also gives me the opportunity to leave the table half an hour
later with double my original stake.

27.

And if I win, I promise to split the earnings with everyone here!

Oh, wait -- you mean I have to actually *buy* a ticket?

Fuhgetaboutit!

No, no and no. I'll by the (3) tickets. All you folks need to do is supply
me with the winning numbers. That's easy enough.

And don't worry about splitting the earnings either, I'll take care of that.
g

Numbers please. I'm buying the Groups' (3) tickets in 9 hours.

You should probably buy the tickets instead. ;-)

Here's my number: 46, as in Ercoupe...

I'll also invest in my own ticket later today.
