Although any person wouldnt mind...in this day and age..2 million is not much after paying off bills, buying a new house/cars ect...and of course helping family members.. you'd be back to square one..broke lol | | |

Just a guess but I think by the time all of us weary headed dreamers wake up, this MONSTER will have been raised again. Brilliant strategy to BOOST sales!!! | | |

Don't be to harsh on the college lad max, weren't you and I college students once?  mcginnin - was I a college student... shoot when I was in school we used coal and the back of a shovel to write our notes... you actually 'spect me to remember that far back? ... and I called him 'sweetie'... I guess I could have tossed in there 'ubbie-doobie-sweetums' just to make sure he knew I wasn't bad-talking him... but I didnt want to go into a diabetic coma. **insert heavy dramatic sigh here** | | |

Our news station interviewed a Company GROUP. SO far 135 members are in the lottery pool. They each chimed in with there "dream" winning ideas. Seriously with that many they are cutting the pie to thin..... No doubt! roughly 2mil a piece. If they all chipped in $20 each, I wonder how long it took to get the tickets | | |

At some point someone has to win And if this theory had any validity, the Powerball is doing a POOR JOB of RIGGING because over the last three jackpot wins they have lost money!

My group has 100 people. I've managed it via spreadsheets since 2004. $5 Each - $255 tomorrow night - another $250 in reserve just in case. | | |

what if there is 1 winner? I would hope to not see the lone winner with the big goofy check in less than a week. If we do see the press conference next week, we'll know they aren't an LP member.
Sometime this summer, I'd love to hear a radio story, "lottery officials are confirming that six weeks ago, an attorney representing a now defunct LLC claimed and collected last spring's blockbuster Mega Millions jackpot. No other details are available." | | |

My family members will NOT know , I'm a winner until all business is taken care of . In time , they will know , but not before . To much planning goes into this . "A person , with a plan "....... | | |
