Congrats to the winners.
Tried to post a link to an article I found while looking for the video of the news conference but the rules here wouldn't let me put it in.
The article quoted "Space said there were some colleagues who had opted out of this ticket buy."
Call me cynical but I smell a lawsuit coming ________________________
Playing together to make a splash in the pool of lottery winners. It's just a matter of time.

But would you tell us if you did win? If Todd wins I say there's at least a 90% chance we'll know. Either he'll tell us outright, or we'll notice that there's a new chief bottle washer.

if this web info true then the New Jersey people deserved to win. NJ population is said to be around 8,682,661 but the number of mega million tickets sold for this draw in NJ were 10,001,369!
according to that website, only the state of NJ buys more tickets per capita. Oh well :)

I'd imagine that's because they have people coming from other states that buy tickets due to NJ's location and traffic through the state. With odds like 1 in 175,711,536 how can I lose?!
You can't predict random.

Nice congrats to the winners. I am still waiting for mine.

(Online meaning a ticket machine connected to a central computer to record the numbers.) With the lottery such an integrated part of society in N.J., tickets do indeed sell well.
