3/30 Mega Millions $640,000,000 vol. New Record

[hankmoody]

Yea, I saw a lady there filling out a form and she had a piece of paper with her that had some serious work on it. You could tell she sat at home and really put thought into her final sets of numbers. A lot of scratching out, arithmetic, etc. I bought my $5 worth and hightailed out of there.

There comes a point to where it is mathematically impossible to not have a winner, there are unique situations. I can still remember when I was growing up this dude from my city won the lotto for like 5 mill and didn't even know. He was an employee at guitar center and had the crumpled ticket in his car and had completely forgotten about it. They can tell where the ticket was purchased, so this dude is watching the news one day like 2 months later and remembers his ticket, crazy world man.

What?! I thought mega millions was just for the US.

I sold two shares of Apple just to buy my tickets. Going to the bank to take out a loan to buy more tickets now.

Got my numbers in. All it takes is 1

You gotta put their address.

If I win, best believe I'm doin a buck 50 straight through the night. Get there in record time. 

Good idea. Especially considering you have more of a chance of dying on the way, then winning in the first place.

lottery confirms to #CNN if there is no winner tonight the jackpot will increase to an estimated $975 Million for the drawing on 4/3.


it hits tonight though.

Consider this.. 5 million posts in NT general since late 2007. You are still 35 TIMES short on reaching the odds.. 175 million is just a huge #.

I wonder if any billionaires will jump in on those for the fun of it. Spend $2 million, and your chances of winning are not that bad.. One in almost 90.. A million spent, one in just 175.

Even if there are 10 winners, each one would walk home with $30 million.... With a lottery this size, who wouldnt want to join in?

Was on the news earlier, so many Canadians drove to bordering cities (Buffalo, Detroit, Minnesota, Seattle, etc) to join in and buy tickets.

I Think there will be a winner tonight, don't see them letting that much moolah go

 

[crazy dav0]

i just wasted $20 ... i ain't even mad

 

[antidope]

I dropped $45 on it today. Contemplating dropping another $45.

 

[youngcurse]

I think I'll buy one now, if I win I'll buy everybody in this thread something from the Nike outlet 

 

[freakydestroyer]

If the Mega is the same as one of the other numbers, there may not be a winner. But what are the chances of that?? 

 

[hankmoody]

Damn. Some of you guys are crazy. I had second thoughts about $5 worth

Should've just bought a 1 or 2 tickets. I think $5 surpasses my expected value.

That makes me *#$@+%$ sick. How greedy can you be? Like, you're already in the league, playing the game you love, making millions, and yet you want more. 

 

[useref15]

I have a feeling someone from NT will win tonight.

 

[luckyluchiano]

what time is the deadline to buy a ticket on the East Coast?

 

[trickster360cj]

I believe its 10pm

He makes just over million a year. There's not much left after tax, debt, and taking care of his parents and his own family. Plus his career isn't guaranteed to last, he can break his leg tomorrow and it's a wrap. If that makes you sick, then look at Floyd Mayweather's twitter images.

i cant even mess with the lotto. it just messes with your emotions just thinking about having all that dough and then not winning.
