¿Qué?

[cteno4]

Washington, D.C. (American) football team and the local jackpot lottery!

 

Don't know which had better odds (sorry too easy of a shot to take!)

Washington Redskins got beaten by the Green Bay Packers in the NFL Wildcard Playoff Round.  Powerball is a national lottery.  $900M jackpot.  Nobody won, so the next drawing on Wednesday will be $1.3 BILLION!!!

The "Skins'" were favored to win.  Also, being from Chicago, the "Cheeseheads" are the utterest of rivals.

Aha, that lottery, they were going on about it on TV here. $1.3 billion? That's buy a lot of trains. Heck, it'd buy a couple of factories to make all the trains you want ;)

Railsquid,

 

If I win, I will buy you all the trains you want.  

 

However, the odds are greater for getting eaten by a shark, getting hit by a meteor, or getting elected president!

Cool, I'll put a list together. Someone will be around shortly to keep you out of the way of incoming meteors, I'll have a friendly word with any local sharks, and ask the forum moderators to confirm you're not Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton.

[Davo Dentetsu]

Condolences to anyone who find out they are Donald Trump today.

Was hoping the "Skins" would win but not surprised they didn't.  Good luck winning the lottery - your odds are only 272.1 million to1 - better chance getting hit by a natural disaster.

Hmm, if a ticket costs 2 USD and the odds are 272.1 million to 1 if you are playing all of the variants you can win more than you invest. Of course if nobody else do the same. :-)

 

At least Seahawks won but needed luck at the end...

And that's real trains. :)

Over here they're going crazy over a 10 million Euro lottery... 1.3 billion, that's insane :)

it's still an easy game with an interesting jackpot, unfortunately you need to be in the US to buy the ticket, I just checked this morning and it's not possible to buy powerball tickets overseas :D

 

Italy as a more difficult lottery but not as much money in the jackpot

[katoftw]

haha the "Skin" were favourites.  I dont think so!  While "You like that" Captain Kirk and Big Reed have some swagger about them.  They only reason they are there is because Chip ruined the Eagles and Romo walked around 12 games with a sling around his throwing arm.

 

p.s. Sorry you didn't win the lottery.
