Who's buying Mega Millions tickets?

[shortbun]

I am. We rarely...meaning not even every year...buy a lottery ticket. More fun to fantasize than anything else. I've picked my own numbers and I'm not telling what they are.

Yep. Can't dream without playing. When it gets interesting (>300), I'll buy some tickets.

Half a billion dollars is enough to make me spend a buck or two.

I'd love to dream, but really I'd be happy to get my money back!

 

[OceanAnnie]

You can't win if you don't play. I'm in!

 

[daughtersrus]

Yesterday on the radio they said that if you are the only winner and take it in one payment it would be about $251 million AFTER taxes. I could live with that.

What I don't get is the lines that they were showing this morning on TV. Here you can go into any store and maybe there's a person or 2 in front of you. Are the ones with the lines wrapped around parking lots "lucky" stores that have sold multiple winning tickets?

We've got a pool at work. we each chip in 2 bucks. Hey I'll blow the price of a soda to dream big... lol.

Now what to do with all the cash when I win....

 

[cluvsdisney]

OMG...dh would flip if I didn't get tickets today. There should be a pool in the office which I'll get in on and then buy $5 for us.

 

[Tuffcookie]

Absolutely! Between now and the time of the drawing, it gives me a chance to dream!

[Snowflakey]

I came....I bought....I'm dreaming....I plan on winning

 

[It'sWDW4me]

Oh, to even win "just" a hundred thousand dollars would make me happy, happy, HAPPY!!!

 

[Coach K]

This is really nice of everyone here buying tickets-it will just make my winnings even larger!!!!

 

[Ilivetogo]

Got 2 last night ...

[StephMK]

I think DH is getting them through his work pool but double checking that. Between that & $5, we were in for 13 tries the other night so we'll probably play again for the next drawings til it's won.

I also entered some sweepstakes for home improvements recently. We calculate it would take about $100K to do what we want to our house - updating systems, windows, floors, fence, etc. Then money for the kids' college, retirement, a beach house & a lot of travel. I would be happy w/much less than the total winnings!

 

[Contraflow]

The banks are so short-sighted.

I have called three this morning and not ONE will loan me the $176 million it would take to play all possible combinations.

 

[mikehn]

They are projecting the jackpot to top $600 million by drawing time Friday.

 

[PigletsPal2]

Haven't bought mine yet, but will before the deadline. I'm using the numbers that came up on my fortune cookie when we ate at our local Chinese restaurant last week. They're as lucky as any, I guess.
