For smaller jackpots and better odds, I play my local state lottery. When I play the mega millions, I want a mega jackpot. $112 million is a lot of money yes, but, after the lump sum cash option, then after taxes, its as appealing as my local state lotto. Look at how much excitement the Mega Millions generated this past March. Now if I was the only one who felt this way, you would be hearing about a $112 million dollar pot just as much, but you don't because unfortunately, many people have becom... [ More ]

i feel great. looks like the last two big jackpots for the meagamillions was in states i have tickets. i am just going to wait and see if the winners come forward. if not i will be one happy mofo to check my ticket when it comes due. i will be glad to jump on the plane with the family in tow and go get the money. if i didn't win well it was a nice dream. i glad the ticket was purchased in southern cali because that is where my ticket is from.

peace.

How can even winning the minimum jackpot of 12 million be dull

I guess the glass can be half full and half empty cause jackpots

not reaching enourmous amounts means that they are passing out that

money more rapidly (somebodys winning) and thats why I play the game

sure hope someone claims the ticket befor the 180 rule ;

can you see hitting the lottery and then dying or losing the ticket or just not checking the ticket;

the fact no one claimes it gives me concern since it makes the lottery look susipecious ; since if anyone afetr the 180 day rule would recieve it - that would be the state lottery;

112 million is a lot of loot - to get greedy and hold on to that what they

It would have been nice if that jackpot grew a bit larger. It makes playing more exciting, even if you don't win. The only large jackpot we've had was that one in March that had two winners, but other than that, it's been pretty dull.
