When you're that rich, you don't have to pay MF's, you just buy a new one every time you get foreclosed on

I wonder if anyone does that. Buys, uses doesn't pay. Next year, buy somewhere else, use, don't pay.

I'm not in New York. Can someone there buy a ticket for me and I will split the winnings with you.

I ran down to the little corner deli in Manhattan to get a cup of coffee on Monday. There must have been twelve people in there, in the middle of the afternoon, buying lottery tickets!

Gee, it is an estimated $200 million here in MA.

I have been playing and last few years $1.00 advance eight draw ticket for Ca Lottery and same for Mega so I'm in every game but only playing $1.00 each time. When Mega gets this high I also play $5.00 ticket. The old saying you can't win if your not playing.

I also play Fantasy five one draw for 10 draws and have won more spending less money per game. Seems having same numbers for advance play works better for me.

Holy Cow.
I don't even know what I'd do with all that money.
I'd probably have to go into hiding.

Chances of winning are slim, but they are zero if you aren't in it.

I bought one ticket on Tuesday, because the odds are about the same if you buy one ticket or 100. Or even 1,000. Anyway, I didn't win...not even one number matched.

There was no big winner, but there were a few with five numbers matching plus the bonus number. The odds against that are astronomical, too, and you get only $250,000 for that. That would kill me!

I wouldn't say no to $250,000! After taxes around $150,000, nice little emergency fund/college fund for the future!

It's now Estimated at $290 million! About $160million after everything...So far, thats my plan for retirement...If i don't win a $100 million+ Jackpot...i may have to work forever

I went online and bought a 50 week subscription for $100, and doubled the bet for the multiplier. So for $200 I know I won't miss any drawings. We shall see...

Obviously I wouldn't say no to $250,000. But it would kill me to know that the odds against matching 6 of the 7 are so, so high, and I had only been one number away from $240 million.

Are you doing the same numbers every week?
