lakewood United States Member #113649 July 13, 2011 50 Posts Offline | the night before the last drawing I could not sleep hardly any. now I may not be able to sleep for days with this amount of money in the jackpot. not to sound selfish but I have a funny feeling I will be the next jackpot winner for mega millions. mega millions has always been my favorite game in fact i have to been called Mr.mega millions.
on a different note mega millions is doing what powerball I hope to accomplish with a price increase I wonder how do they feel now. also it feels good to be a part of something from the start, and not just jump on the bandwagon when the frenzy takes place. I love reading the media and different news outlets on the mega millions when the jackpot get this high. | | |
ONEONTA,NEW YORK United States Member #30515 January 17, 2006 447 Posts Offline | Tell me about it. I went to check my numbers on the Mega Millions site and saw that no one won and the amount it was at.... All I could say was "Holy shiate!" about a dozen times before I logged into here. This will be over that $500 million mark by the time friday rolls around. Furious ticket sales will push it above that amount, I just know it.

That's why we play, we all think we're next and for someone or someones it really is going to be their turn, so it's not so selfish lot's of people have that "funny feeling" they are going to win. Even if I don't win, this has been so much fun dreaming and anticipating, seeing if it is going to roll over or not. | | |
Texas United States Member #92326 June 5, 2010 887 Posts Offline | So let me ask... are y'all imagining winning as the sole winner? It'd be crazy if like 5+ people were to win it, I know that's how I'd like to win it, with other people to take some focus as well. | | |

I am a truck driver and just getting lost in my mind as I think about these jackpot in about winning as I am alone in my truck is so much fun. it really does keep me happy day today | | |

I don't mind sharing with strangers I'm not greedy | | |
MI United States Member #54828 August 31, 2007 985 Posts Offline | Holy <snip>! Yes, snipped but you know what that word is.
Didn't expect that to roll at all given things were already getting crazy, now they're going to get super crazy. I can't believe it wasn't hit.
Oh and LOL Powerball! The people in charge of that game must be bashing their heads against a wall by now... Hopefully it'll knock some sense back into them, probably not.
If PB doesn't get close within a year to a record I'm going to bet we'lll see yet another change to that game. This post has been automatically changed by the Lottery Post computer system to remove inappropriate content and/or spam. You can't predict random. | | |
Rhode Island United States Member #56008 October 28, 2007 435 Posts Offline | There is always a chance that it will not be won on Friday due to repeat combinations (birthdays and even QP overlaps)..I doubt it but Just saying. Friday is Payday. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Don't count the chickens before they hatch. | It's not how much you MAKE, it's how much you SPEND! A million made and a million spent....YOU ARE BROKE! |

NY United States Member #23834 October 16, 2005 4558 Posts Offline | how big will it get if no one wins next draw, 750mil maybe? You're asking where a road goes when nobody has ever been down that road. The best anyone can do is make an educated guess. I'll guess that it will be at least 500 by Friday, and possibly a lot more. A roll has to push it to 650+, and 750 doesn't seem outlandish. | | |
ONEONTA,NEW YORK United States Member #30515 January 17, 2006 447 Posts Offline | Ok ..I'm going to bet we go to 37 pages before they rase the jackpot with this thread...best of luck to everyone on l.p.. | | |

If you work for a living, why do you kill yourself working? The Best things in Life are FREE! The drawing a week ago was very instructive. 68 2nd place winners and it still rolled. This drawing should have seen sales of about 170 million tickets, with 70% of combinations covered. Even if twice as many tickets are sold there should be somewhere around 10% of combinations unplayed. | | |
