      <description><![CDATA[It was a $5 ticket (all QP's). My husband and I only play when the jackpot gets above $40mil, so all told, we probably spent $50? on this jackpot over the past few weeks. I don't have many other vanity items that I throw money at (no Starbucks, no magazines, etc.), so I figure $10 a week when the jackpot gets high enough is worth it...after all, I might win some day ;)<br /><br />We took the winnings and went out and bought my husband a new iPod (which obviously cost a bit more then $157, but it covered...

      <description><![CDATA[You have to look at the odds vs. the jackpot amount, in which case most States' regular Lotto can provide a life-changing win with a much better dollar-vs.-odds return . But I play at least 1 even in a low drawing but save the $5 plays for a big jackpot.. the $1 you'd spend on the $12M save them all for the $50M if you like. My goal though is have one strong set of number rather than 5 weaker sets..<br /><br />I have not been near Piqua since Year 2000, and passed the exit for it in 1997-98, also the fi...

      <description><![CDATA[I was very excited to see a group of people from Piqua win Mega Millions! I was born and raised there, so that made it even better! The only thing I was wondering was if I might know any of the 12; if any of them were from Piqua originally. If anyone knows any of the group members' names, please reply to this. If you want to reply at all, that's cool, too]]></description>

I hate yet to get 1 number (seriously) on the rare occasions that i play a QP, so I will stick with our Super Lotto Plus.<br /><br />Okay, let's make it official.

      <description><![CDATA[I am kinda worried that the winning might be too big for one single winner.<br /><br />Now I don't envy big prize winners and I just wish that there would be a lot of small prize winners than just a few big winners. A few millions can make a huge difference. Why desire 60~80 millions? Unless you have some serious plan for a big business, you don't need to win that much.<br /><br />Of course, if I won 207millions then I would set up my video game company and animation studio.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Congrats to the them! Funny, I kinda thought it would go to a group. Didn't think that many though! So was it 12 total? Or 12 in the one group plus a few from another? So it could be 14 or more people?<br /><br />Good Christmas gift for a lot of families and thats great! The store name sounds familiar. Seems like a winning ticket was sold at a Kroger before? I wonder how much they pooled together. With that many, could of been quite a few tickets. Can't wait to hear the whole story. Hopefully they]]></description>
