Hey Guru,

I tried to follow your link to the YouTube vid but it didn't work. Oh wait! I made a keystroke error and typed an r instead of a u ...

Never mind.

It's too late to help Jack but maybe Bunky can hop a broom over to the VA Hospital and heal Dave Edwards?

Bartlett, an accountant from Dundalk, said he made a bargain with the multiple gods associated with his Wiccan beliefs: You let me win the lottery and I'll teach. Both tickets he purchased had numbers chosen randomly from the computer.

Oh, Puhleeze

I just flipped to CNN when a video with one of the winners was shown. Here it is:

Thanks Four4me.

I guess my informant was telling the truth, although she left out the fact that the Spritual Healers are Witches and Warlocks. There seems to be a big following of Wicca in this area. I wonder if it helped them to win the big one!

Wow! They're going to be featured on the 11:00 news.

You are so right.

I understand, the owner of the store that sold the winning ticket here in Maryland threw a party for the patrons that came into the store on Saturday. I was told that the young couple that won went out early Saturday morning and picked up a new car from a Ford dealership with out putting out any money. Now this is hear say from someone who went to the store Saturday morning. She seemed to know alot about the winners. She said she isn't related but that the couple is young... [ More ]

Congratulations to the winners. $82.5M is certainly more than enough for 1 person.

I'm happy 4 winning tickets were sold also, otherwise I would feel more bitter, or I guess jealous. I still wish it was me though, one day I hope it will be

Rarely do I get *cheerleader* on a particular state to win, but by golly..Three cheers for a Mega Winner in maryland! I play there and am pleased that at least my loss is their gain!

Very pleased to see it split in four tickets! There will be no GRANDSTANDING when the person leaves with a little over 36 million cash. My only sore spot is that Maryland recoups twice on tickets, one thru sales and then again when they tax the person at 7%....

Damn... so close, yet so far. I'm in Maryland and can play in both Maryland and Virginia (mega million) plus DC (powerball). And now two of those three sites sold winning tickets and none were mines. Unfortunately Maryland and Virginia are pretty big and the places that win in those states are never near where I am. Why is that? Hmmmm....

I'm just glad it was multiple winners. It's better to make four people extremely happy than to make one person yet another pompous, morally corrupted Jack-ass . Congratulations to the winners. Keep buying tickets and build my jackpot, please.

In Texas, 2 of the 3 5 of 5 winning tickets were sold at the same Exxon gas station in San Antonio, and they were not quick picks.

IN an update to this story on the 1010wins website the Maryland Lottery director said that the odds of winning were the same as being struck by lighting in the same spot at the same time every day for a week . that is gross exaggeration, the odds of being struck by lighting are 100K to 1 or thereabouts so the odds of being in the same spot every day for a week and a lightning storm happening every day for a week in that location etc. must be at least in the trillions. Anyway anytime the odds ar... [ More ]

Eh well, better luck for me next time. Four winners and 36 2nd prize winners, is that a record or something? How much do you think they will end up with each? In any case, it was fun while it lasted. Hopefully the jackpots will be bigger more often than they've been in the last two years, it's definately more exciting once it crosses the 200 million dollar mark.

4 tickets win $330 million lottery jackpot

Lottery Post — Sat, 01 Sep 2007 14:28:18 GMT

The odds of winning the estimated $330 million Mega Millions jackpot were one in 176 million.

But lottery officials said early Saturday that four people one each in Maryland, New Jersey, Texas and Virginia did just that.

In addition to the grand prize winners from Friday night's drawing, 36 players matched all five numbers but not the Mega Ball number. They will receive second prizes of $250,000 each.

Another 215 players matched four numbers, plus the Mega Ball number - good for thi... [ More ]
