Your right about that : as I think about it, after 20+ years of playing, I don't personally know anyone who's ever won the biggie. ..I don't even know anyone who know's anyone that ever won it !!! However I do know legit winners of a couple hundred thou....but never the millions.

I never played Easy pics cause I thought the odds of the machine picking the same 6 #s again within the next few hours (I'm a last minute player) would be too unrealistic- but if they say the easy pics are the majori... [ More ]

Funny how the jackpots never go to record levels anymore, and are won between $100 and $200 million. I usually predict when they will be won as I did with the powerball last night. Yet all this time they do not get won and then all the sudden they get won as if the odds change. I don't believe the whole more people playing theory either. I still smell a fish in the large jackpot games. I won't ever believe they are legit unless I or someone I know wins.

Haha...yeah, No sour Grapes here though- just a little good natured Ribbing to the winner ..... But I'm gonna tell you all that if/when I win, I'm still gonna log on here complain so nobody knows it's me who won!! ...hahaha.....That way I can hopefully bypass a multitude of new sudden 'Friends !

But also, don't kid yourself's TOO much about the Lotto $$$ helping Schools all that much, I mean- look around you ! In my town, MOST of the old Schools which are very beautiful decorative old brick b... [ More ]

you forgot to say put $500K in a brief case (I have one just in case!) to bring to the gentleman's club .

There is also no longer a big Powerball jackpot. The winner was in Kentucky.

That really fries my chicken! I had 2+Bonus on Weds.

Talk about sour grapes; did you get a lump of coal for XMAS??? Would you want the same thing to happen to you if you were the winner?? Cut some slack--it was their time to win, plain and simple

Yeah, that would be true that the number of players in NY would dictate more winners........Well, ...Ok, then how about NY bow out of the Mega lotto and just be they're own super lotto within New York since in the current scenerio the smaller states that Never win are never GONNA win and therefore are just giving our dollars away each week so someone in the bigger states can snap it up ! Hehehe...If Ya think about it though, It DOESN'T make sense that if it's the Easy Pics that keep winning -why... [ More ]

Although no one in CA won this particularly jackpot; I just discovered someone from Fontana, CA won the Super Lotto jackpot last night for $47,000,000. Way to go.

Just wish it were me but my time is coming very soon. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO THE EVERYONE @ LP

Wow...great Christmas gift (though the money technically won't be available to the winner until early 2010).

Dear winner...here's what you need to do. Take $60 million and park it in low risk investments like CDs and bonds yielding about 2% interest annually ($1.2 million a year for you buddy! That's $25k a week for life), then take $5 million and help out family. The remaining $2 million is for you to spend on whatever you want...a $900k house, some cars, travel, stash $100k in savings just... [ More ]

Last night was cold so I decided against going to the store to get me some quick picks.

I do have season tickets for mega millions so my hopes were on only that one ticket. I ended up winning $2 for getting the megaball 13.

I could have sworn that somebody from NY would win. States that win include Ohio, Virginia, NJ, NY and California.

Followed closely by Georgia and Michigan. These others MA, WA, IL, MD, TX just work to contribute to the jackpots lol.

KC2012--

It is not weird that NY and CA win a lot of jackpots...it is simple numbers. There are more lottery players in sheer numbers in NY, CA, or even TX for that matter, so statistically speaking, these type of states should have a larger proportion of the jackpot winners.

Good observation, as that crossed my mind as well. It only takes $1 to win, but if you can afford it, spend $5.

Also, today tomorrow, if you spend $5 on Mega Millions, you get a free QP, so why don't you end the year with a bang.

Congrads to whomever won but geez NY and NJ....can you's take a break let some other states win the biggie once in a while??? Does anybody know when the last time there was a Michigan mega winner ...IF there ever was one?...very suspicious....hehe Happy Holidays to EveryOne

Blessings and peace to the winner. Although anytime is a great time to win, perhaps this winning takes on a different meaning because of the economy.

Quick pick is the way to go, the winner won using quick pick , and all the numbers were odds including the megaball. Three other people also won $250k using quick pick. I almost quick playing the megamillions this year but after i noticed how two people won the 8/28/2009 megamillions $336,000,0000 jackpot using a $1 quick pick i keep on playing. The only difference was that the guy from bronx new york chose to play his $1 quick pick in 26 annual payments and the guy from california chose to play... [ More ]
