I'm thinking 5 tickets, $10.

It'll be one fewer bag of seeds for the birdies unless I win.

Odds of hitting 5 numbers plus the Mega Ball (5+1): 1 in 258,890,850
The odds of becoming a lightning victim in the U.S. in any one year is 1 in 700,000
That's 370 lightning hits to one MegaMillions jackpot  

I'll probably drop a few bucks, too, but it really is the stupid tax.

Yes, it is so I make sure to pay my share.

That's what I hate about myself.  I can't help myself from playing it.  I don't know why I do other than if I don't, I have even less of a chance of winning.

Hell it's cheap fun to dream silly dreams.   My rule is only to waste the $$ when it's over $200M.  ;-)

Here's this week's dream - If I win the jackpot tonight we'll do an all expenses paid Swill meetup at Maui in 2019.  We'll dominate some beach with our cut bodies.

lol, sorry man. With that kind of $$ we could all live like Wags - new boots, new hats and Hamms on tap 24/7.

This is the sort of story they use to lure us all in...
An 18-year-old buys her first lottery ticket and wins $1,000 a week -- for life

[Guest]

Up to $521M but no reason for any of you to buy a ticket, just had the little cutie at the store assure me I was winning.

Whichever one of us wins must commit to the Giant Spartan Statue. If the University won’t allow it on campus grounds, then land must be purchased as close as possible to the stadium with an idea toward making it a destination spot. Call it Sparta.

[Guest]

The statue is a must.  

I propose we also commit to purchase the Swill Fishing/Hunting camp.   200 acres at the confluence of the North Branch and the Mainstream of the Ausable River.

[Rocinante]

I want to know more about the floodplain in down there. Can we build a deck without having to get a damn army corps permit? If we're going to make this gaddamn thing usable it's going to need a walkway, a boat launch and a deck. gaddamn goose. You want us living like hill people?

We'll have $500M, we can easily buy the locals off.  ;-)

Plus we'll have the sweet conference room to decide important things.

Naw.  That place is too bland for us ballers.  Would have to bulldoze it and build from scratch.  Something more like this

Plus, lame  conference room table and uncomfortable seating.  Hideous shade of green.  Poor finish carpentry.  Crappy window treatments.

The place is a dump.  Again, bulldoze and start over. I volunteer to work with the architect and do the general contracting.

Are you serious? That table is perfect for butchering deer. We gotta keep that.

Fine. We'll keep it as long as it gets moved to the guest pole barn on the other side of the property.

[tGreenWay]

Shit, I have to go grab one.

[tGreenWay]

Ticket, I mean.

[The Pantry]

Ticket, I mean.

You can buy them online, ya know

[aualum06]

Someone buy me a ticket? Thanks

[Guest]

The Russians must have hacked MM, 8AM and still no announcement on whether there was a winner.

If tGreenway won we’re having the biggest bash ever at his house. Or Bob’s.

I really didn’t know.

[Guest]

Nope....our only hope is TempeTantrum....

1 winner in New Jersey.

[The Pantry]

Why is it always fucking New Jersey?

[SawGreen]

Why is it always fucking New Jersey?

This. I just checked, and after this drawing, I think 3 of the top 10 jackpots had winning tickets in New Jersey. Hmmmmm

$553M jackpot winner is N.J. food production manager

Richard Wahl was introduced Friday during a news conference at lottery headquarters. The 47-year-old production manager at a northern New Jersey food services facility took the cash option worth $220.7 million, after taxes.

Wahl bought the sole winning ticket for the March 30 jackpot at a Lukoil station. He says he’s not a regular lottery player and has only purchased tickets a few times.

He said he moved from Michigan to Vernon, New Jersey, last July for work reasons, but didn’t provide further details.
