Mega Millions Jackpot

Alright I have 5 chances to win the 636 million dollar Mega Millions jackpot.

Did anyone else play, and if you win will you take the cash option of 341 million or accept the pay out over 20 years?

BTW if no one wins tonight friday's jackpot could approach 1 BILLION DOLLARS

You have a better chance of getting killed by a vending machine.

make sure to send me some if you win :2thumbsup:

 

The current odds of winning are 1: 265 million

In some ways I’m kinda hoping no one wins to drive the jackpot up to 1 billion dollars :2thumbsup:

oh, so that's why the girl at the gas station kept upselling lottery tickets. i thought she was just trying to hold up the line.

 

Yep, gas stations, liquor stores, and supermarkets, are being inundated because of the 2nd highest payout in mega millions history :2thumbsup:

Damn. I was going to buy a ticket but forgot to. I rarely do but for that much money? Why not? It's only one ticket.

 

Sorry too late the cut-off is 1 hour before the drawing

Well....hell. I guess I'm going to work tomorrow.

 

I'd take the twenty year option!

 

A $636 million jackpot — the second-biggest lottery payout in U.S. history — will be going to at least one winner after someone in San Jose, Calif., picked all six winning Mega Millions numbers Tuesday night, California lottery officials said.

That was the only winning ticket sold in California, the lottery told NBC News. Other winners who might emerge later in the evening would divide the loot with the California winner, who wasn't identified.
The California ticket — 8, 14, 17, 20 and 39, with the Mega Ball 7 — was bought at a gift shop called Jennifer's in San Jose, lottery officials said.
Had there again been no winners Tuesday, the jackpot would have rolled over, likely approaching or even topping the once-unthinkable $1 billion barrier for Friday's drawing, Mega Millions officials have said.

for a typical lottery, that would be a no-brainer. but in this case it's a slightly harder decision. it's not like i'll ever spend $341 million in my lifetime anyway, and there are a few big donations that i wouldn't mind making right away and then just sort of disappearing with my money.

I guess I never really thought about how long it would actually last

 

A mere 70 million, chump change

Honestly, I'd probably give most of it away. I'd keep enough for myself but who needs that much money? Just get rid of it and keep a few million for yourself.

 

I'd give a lot away in a really fun way. Like pay friends bills for 2 years and just get fucked up with them. Then bail them out as they readjusted to actually working.

Find some hardworking people and build them a house. That kind of shit would be great.

 

They call it the idiot tax for a reason.

Sometimes I feel like I should be playing the lottery since I feel like I need a miracle. It's getting harder to afford my lifestyle, and it's depressing me.

 

Work harder. I had 4 jobs at one point, and was in college.

 

When did you sleep?

 

At One Point I Worked Three Jobs A Day, And Managed To Coordinate Them
