They usually tell you on the news here in Atlanta how much it can be if nobody wins from one drawing to the next.

I'm curious to know how you knew it was going to be that amount before it was posted, MarkP

I almost fell out of my chair when I saw Mega Millions jackpot rolled over to $325 millions. The battle continues folks. Don't put down your shields and swords yet.

Yeah. I did most of the time, but not this amount. Sometimes I spend $15 dollar, but today I play for $7 dollar of the same ticket.

I am curious how you chose your numbers? Because, no lie, if those are special numbers for you the odds of them coming again in any order will probably not be in our lifetime.

But not for nothing that is an awesome amount to win. That's a nice chump of change, even in the N-Y-C.

If anything, I would definitely keep playing. Sounds like you are almost there.

Wow!!!That's pretty cool. Sucks that your numbers were in the wrong place...or rather that MM picked the wrong numbers for you...lol. Congratulations on your win though. Do you always buy multiple tickets like that? I've bought multiple tickets before accidentally because I have forgotten if I've played my numbers or not, but I've never doneit intentionally.

Damm! everybody is online waiting to see if nobody wins. Its funny how crazy people go for big millions..but wait people it ain't that easy to win.. If it sounds to good to be true, maybe it is not true. Tonight I finally realize it that Its not easy to win the jackpot. My number is 02,12,19,22,40 and megaball 03. as you can see if the 03 was in place of of 02 and 03 was in place of 02, I would have hit the jackpot. And I bought 7 ticket of the same number.. goood for me thaty I win $150 dollars... [ More ]

kingssean — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 03:51:36 GMT

I was close to hit the jackpot. But $150 in 7 ticket will help alot. I onced had a dream the mega climb to 330 mill and I think I might be right. If nobody wins tonight, I'm going to play like crazy

I am not the jackpot winner. I hope I get the chance to try again for a big jackpot on Friday.

Mega Millions takes a bit longer than Powerball, for some reason. I wouldn't start looking until 1:00 a.m. (Eastern) or so. Sometimes they surprise us with an early announcement, but it's normally between 1 and 2 in the morning.

Only the person holding the winning ticket will know if someone won at 11:00 PM, the rest will have to wait a while.
