Title: Mega Millions
Post by: wmccall on March 05, 2007, 07:45:57 am: Who among us lives in a Mega Millions state? at 340 Million, the cash option would still be above 200 million. I'll definitely buy a new house and leave the current hot tub with the house.

I once was part of a group of 13 who played a lotto pool each week. One week the jackpot was $36 million. We had the first 5 numbers and the 6th number was 47, we had 46. So close.

I do not live in a mega-million state but right across the border. I have my tickets for Tuesday's drawing :D

Yeah, I bought a few tickets when it was at 267MM. Guess I'll buy a few tickets this time, too.
Sure is a lot of $$$... I guess I'd have to buy a hot tub for the bathroom - upstairs and downstairs! ;D :D ;D

I'm with you. We have Powerball and I only buy when the pot is $100 million. Otherwise I may be buying tickest all the time. :D

I'd design a house complete with a bat cave and secret entrance.

/I wish I was joking.

Count me a resident of a mega millions sate and proud to say I have never bought a ticket. I am just waiting for a good friend to win and throw me some money. ;D

The time when I worked at CompuServe and we just missed, the CEO stopped me in the hall and said, " I heard you nearly wiped out 3 departments." I thought I was about to be fired, but he held out his hand and said, "Better luck next time" After that everyone wanted in our group. I even got calls from our SF branch wanting in.
