Do most of you who buy lottery tickets let the computer pick your numbers or do you pick your own? This is how hard it really is to win anything on Powerball. We had a pool at work that bought us 2,750 tickets, which won us $295 that we bought more tickets which won us absol:censor:utely nothing. The big win would be great but i would actually settle for winning about $50 grand just to pay off the house.
