I just bought my Mega Milliion tickets today:)

All I can do is hope for the best:)

Besides, the only way to win is to keep playing the Mega Millions game.

I hate when people say Oh, you'll never win that lottery. You have better chances of getting struck by lightning.

Well, if that was true, why do people win the Powerball or Mega Millions lottery at all?

If that was the case, no one should ever win the Powerball or Mega Millions jackpot.

Even though the Powerball odd... [ More ]

Now see that kind of thinking just sets me off. I would never dream of asking anyone, even a relative for money, no matter how much they had. I would be grateful if they offered it and graciously accept but just because someone shares your DNA doesn't make you entitled to anything they have. Plus there's a little thing called the gift tax, remember

Mega Millions jackpot worth $207M still up for grabs

A torrent of ticket sales sent the Poweball jackpot soaring again, to $259.9 million up $15 million since the $245 million estimate was established Saturday and then one ticket won last night.

Unless you bought your Powerball ticket in South Carolina, your only shot at a $200+ million lottery jackpot is tomorrow night's Mega Millions drawing.

The store that sold the ticket is the Murphy USA gas station at 7530 Garners Ferry Road in Co... [ More ]
