A friend of mine bought two MM lines with the megaplier for the first time and she showed me where her ticket said $4.00 but it also said "no" on the ticket for the megaplier!! What gives???? She was charged $4.00. Is this some computer glitch? ooOOoo sounds like the computers are reaching maximum capacity. She will obviously have a very good argument should she win anything. | | |

"If the clerk is a dumbass and doesn't know how to print out the recipt then don't by that ticket. Make them eat it." I just saw a healine appear in my head, "Store clerk wins largest jackpot in history with rejected ticket!"  "New on the job she did not know how to print a receipt, and had to buy a rejected ticket and is now the winner of the largest jackpot in history!" The way I look at it is that because I rejected the ticket without the recipt that the dumbass tried to sell me, I went down the road and one of the quick picks I bought is the winning ticket. You are making a big s-t-r-e-a-c-h trying to be mister comedian there buddy. | | |

I feel the same way. Having a 3-year old makes you a little more cautious than most. I have had paperwork get smudged in the past which is why I would choose to place the ticket in a ziplock bag prior to placing it in a safe. I prefer this method for all my important documents. The winning ticket holder may get overly excited and the last thing they want is a unreadable ticket. Nothing against banks but if you have a fire safe in your home it's probably just as secure. Cool beans. :) We've got a little one due this August and a 10-year old that is starting to get adventurous  , I can totally agree.
One thing is for certain, if I win or don't win, I won't be buying the eldest one a car when they turn 16. They'll have to get out and get a part-time job and continue to do good in school, before I'll allow them to put a down payment on a dependable used car.

I wonder if anyone laminated and swallowed copy just in case? Now that would definitely be paranoia, lol!
They'd definitely guarantee some surgeon another paycheck.  Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

You are making a big s-t-r-e-a-c-h trying to be mister comedian there buddy. Yeah about as much as your are fabricating the story in your favor.  But anything is possible. I never get receipts and I have won some great amounts over the years. My ticket is my receipt as are all my copies. Getting receipts every time for me is a waste of time and more trash. | | |

So I don't know if I'll win tonight, but I have decided to play my own numbers... so at least there's that to take away from this drawing. Maybe I'll win with those at some point. | | |

Well I live alone by choice so in my case I do not have any excessive paranoia. Which was a lot worse when I did live with somone, so I am good. | | |

I don't disagree with that but I would have thought that they would leverage this unique opporunity to run a marathon of old episodes. It may inspire a gullable sucker or two to go on the show when Lady Luck visits them. can't argue w/ that, maybe they'll take a lesson from this, Extraordinary Popular Delusions & the Madness of Crowds -- Charles Mackay LL.D. | | |

They'd definitely guarantee some surgeon another paycheck. Well there are two other ways to get it out but you could not do it at by choice after awhile. | | |

I wonder when the federal government will get the clue that this is THE way to take care of the deficit? Have a NATIONAL lottery system... with all proceeds - not earmarked for prizes - going toward paying off the deficit. A few 640M$ jackpots and we would have the problem solved. Even if there was a $640 million jackpot every month, the proceeds wouldn't even make a dent in the deficit. | | |

i'll say it again, i think they are having a hard time finding winners who are willing to be on the show.  Absolutely no doubt! Why would someone whose life has finally settled want to re-open the floodgates for the onslaught of people who feel they are entitled to his/her winnings.
