If you delay enrolling in Medicare, you can continue to stash cash in a health savings account. But this may not be a good move. By Kimberly LankfordSee my bio, plus links to all my recent stories.
Since tickets cost $2, the prize pool has to be at least ($2 x 175 million = ) $350 million before buying a Powerball ticket is what gamblers call a positive-expectation play â a bet that, statistically, will pay more than $1 for each $1 played.
Pick up a PowerBall Jackpot play slip at your favorite West Virginia Lottery Retailer. Each slip has 5 play panels (A-E). You may play up to 5 POWERBALL plays on each slip. Each play costs $2.00. Tickets must be purchased by 9:59 p.m., ET, every Wednesday and Saturday. Begin with Panel A. In the top section, mark 5 different boxes from 1 and 69. (Please DO NOT use red ink.) In the bottom section mark one box from 1 to 26 representing your POWERBALL number.
