It is nice when the MM and the PB have high jackpots during the same draw period. I like to see them run neck-to-neck.

I think there's enough of this one to share, we can both keep our fingers crossed for each other and cancel everyone out Good luck to the both of us then! And good thinking with the personal chef and trainer

I hope it's you- I hope you step forward, choose cash option, and do not have financial problems later in life.

I hope there is a Mega Millions jackpot winner on this draw. Otherwise, if it rolls, I think it will set a new United States jackpot record.

A woman after my own heart. I'd do the same thing, MissNYC. Although my houses would be in Maryland/Virginia, where I am now. One in Texas, where I grew up and then one on a beach somewhere. I don't know about the nip/tuck, but I'd definitely get a personal chef and a personal trainer. Then I'd take my world cruise. Sprinkle in a few shopping sprees in between all the home buying and I'm happy.

Maybe that more than one can be me and you, MissNYC. Ahhhhh.... if only... [ More ]

You're going to be ticked off no matter who wins if you believe you've been contributing to the MegaMillions game for 30 years since it only started eleven years ago as the BigGame. In fact, it started selling tickets August 31,1996 for its first drawing on September 6,1996.

What would tick me off, after playing for 30 years, is the winner being someone that hardly ever plays. To me, it feels like someone is taking all the money I've invested without contributing anything.

If it's a person that plays regularly, then I'm merely jealous.

Well with the increased sales the odds of a rollover are less likely. I'm getting tickets on Friday myself. If it does roll it would be amazing. Still haven't seen any lines in the stores to get tickets.

I think I'll skip on buying online, but if I have time, I'll see if I can come up with some numbers for predictions. I can only hope that if it rolls, somebody I know is going to make the trip so I can go with them.

Well I've spent my 5 bucks for this 330 million drawing. Good God I'd love to win and definitely quick my job. Aaaaaaaaaah...well if you guys don't here from me after Friday then there's good reason

You still have time to play on line at Betslips.com., there's a link on USAMega.

Or you could post your numbers on the prediction board. That way your numbers will have a chance to win even if you don't and you will at least have bragging rights if they do win.

Already the jackpot is growing and players like myself haven't even bought their tickets yet.

I'll be surprised if the jackpot rolls again unless all the winning numbers are in the higher 30% of number pool as they were in the last drawings. All the winning numbers are not usually clustered so close together, although it happened on 07/11/03 when all the winning numbers including the bonus number were less than 19. That happens in less than 5% of the drawings.

With that in mind, the on... [ More ]

Someone will win, maybe more than one, maybe it will be me! Wouldn't that be nice! Instead of thinking about how I'd manage it, I am for once going to think about how I'd spend it in fun ways. I would by a big house where I love in Westchester County (NY), I'd buy a condo in Santa Monica, and another in Florida. I'd get a bunch of dogs (I Love animals!), I'd go on a serious shopping spree, after a few nip/tucks to ensure the cloths would look nice, I would book a flight on Virgin Galactic, and I... [ More ]
