I would be just as happy to win $250,000

I'm glad to hear that. If you hit 5+1 and I hit 5+0 I guess we can just trade tickets.

Nice try.

I have no system. Quick Pick is the way to go.

Well, I used my 46 lines, guaranteed $2 win system and it worked, I won $2. Looks like Tuesday may be even a better time to try it (again).

Wow...at least $340 million on Tuesday! Probably more than that... a record? My office (in VA) had a pool and we had 147 tickets in last night's drawing. For the first time we had the mega ball plus three numbers for $150. I think we will reinvest since that only is a small amount fo each person.

I looked up the odds on our winning combo....one in 13,781! And that gets you $150! What a game MegaMillions is! Still you never know...

I live in MD, work in VA...i think i will buy some... [ More ]

It might be nice if someone on this forum won but they aren't family. It would be nicer if someone in my family won and that someone was me.

I'll take the meteor if it has the winning numbers attached and I have the ticket !!!

Someone will win eventually and they had the same odds as we do...

Good luck to all !!!

We all stand a better chance of being hit by a meteor than winning the MM jackpot but it's always nice to have a chance.

It would be nice if someone on this forum were to win...I would be just as happy to win $250,000

very exiting as far as lottery goes. I got my two tickets at the lil peach where I always buy lottery. small states have just the same chances as the big onces i am betting massachusetts will hit this time

two other typical states to win mega millions. My guess is it boils down to those three for the big win. Ohio, Texas or IL. Hey, the records speak for themselves.

fxsterling — Fri, 02 Mar 2007 16:47:33 GMT

I've got a Geogia win on my mind but it may-be IL or texas

Well I believe all we need is two more rolls to make it to $400 million. Sales have been actually quite good for the amount the jackpot is at. I am assuming they will be selling about $100 million in tickets for tonight's drawing. The next jackpot should be around $330 million and if it rolls again on Tuesday over $400 million for the first time. It is a long shot but could happen. These dollars are a fun investment to dream about. Hopefully one of our dreams will come true!

Thanks for the advice spy and JAG.

I like to pick my own numbers so I never play QPs and I live in mid-Ohio about seventy miles south of that Cleveland Triangle so I won't be buying any tickets there either. Last month there was a MM 5+0 winner at the Mansfield Meijer store so there's a winners triangle close by. Good luck if you play, I'm still just dreaming.

Yes, if and when I win, I will be like Brad Duke...I'll come forward and claim it myself. Well, I might decline to appear on the morning talk shows, but even if I subsequently decided to appear on them, I would view it as being no different than Bill Gates or Warren Buffett making a public appearance...everybody knows that they are loaded with cash...and everybody knows that they aren't going to get a personal loan from them either. Same thing would apply with me. But I am happy for all wi... [ More ]

JAG331 — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 16:57:58 GMT

Also, RJOh, make sure you buy from the Cleveland Triangle, or whatever it's called. Euclid Heights, Shaker Heights...what is it, three or four MM jackpot winners in the last couple of years from that area

spy153 — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 16:32:30 GMT

RJOH, I would say you are definitley in the run for it with seven jackpot winners coming from your state. SEVEN!!!! But, be sure it is a quick pick that you just happened to pick up at some off the road gas station and you dont care enough to check the ticket for months after the drawing.

Comment #12

RJOh — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 16:16:42 GMT

This may be the time to use my 46 lines, guaranteed $2 win system. I call it....$44 and a dream....or giving up nearly a tank of gas for a dream.....or just $44 worth of fun and foolishness.

Flying up to New York today. I usually purchase a few tickets in Georgia when the jackpot gets high but this will be my first time buying one in NY.

My husband thinks I'm wasting money which I clearly agree but I would rather be in the game even though it's a long shot than observing.

Most would already consider me a gambler as I invest in the financial markets(educated gambling

I hope MM continues to roll. If it does, it'll set a new MM jackpot record. Congratulations to 2nd prize winners.

1. How come Texas has Megaplier and we don't?

2. If the #s happen to come out the same as a year ago, look for about 1000 jackpot winners. Repeats on other jackpot type games are not without precedent but usually produce small shares.

3. The 18 bonus ball had not come out in a VERY long time. That set of numbers and that bonus ball were very difficult to systemize.

4. I THOUGHT THE JACKPOT FEVER THING WAS IN THE PAST

RJOh — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 22:08:04 GMT

If I win,I'll be heading for Toledo and looking up attorney Mark Mockensturm to form the RJ of Oh Blind Trust, sounds like he had some experience with these kinds of situations.

MissNYC — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 21:59:34 GMT

I thought someone would surely win Tuesday, so good luck to everyone! I wonder what it must really feel like to realize you have the winning ticket? I think I'd teach myself how to do a backflip

Someone with a QP after they have gotten gas, a gallon of milk and some Red Hots will hit the big one.-weshar75

$267 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot soars

Lottery Post — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 18:03:00 GMT

The Mega Millions lottery drawing produced no jackpot winner last night, sending Friday's jackpot to the highest level in a year.

One year ago today, the Mega Millions jackpot of $267 million, which was later re-calculated to $270 million, was won by one Ohio lottery ticket, and was later redeemed by an anonymous winner.

The Mega Millions jackpot has not reached this high since that day.

The multi-state lottery game had a top prize of $216 million up for grabs in last night's drawing, b... [ More ]
