I do a version of that on occasion.

I get a QP for PB and use the same numbers on MM or vice versa.

I still use my own lucky numbers line on both games too.

Yes, I feel that it's destiny that someday I will be moving up to a double-wide.

I just read the story in the NY POST of the MM winner, she THOUGHT she was buying POWERBALL but they gave her MEGA MILLIONS by mistake AND SHE WON. I thought we were afraid someone would play their MM numbers on Powerball by mistake and the MM numbers come out.

New York has a law that says you have to hold a press conference.

Todd, congratulations to the winners. I didn't know that both Mega Millions and Powerball win their jackpots on consecutive days.

Congrats to the winners !

Both Jackpots seem to grow faster with them being played in more states ........ not complaining ...........

Some nice person in PA needs to win one of them though ..........

I would accept a nice wire transfer to my bank account !

I am hoping for a big TEA Party on Nov. 2nd

You'll soon be getting a PM from tiggs saying for $594.00 you can get in on the ground floor of his latest brainstorm for the snack food industry:

Poached Squirrel Nuggets with Whipped Northern Pike Cream Sauce. To accentuate the squirrel and fish fusion, it comes in a miniature minnow bucket and you just scoop it out and microwave it.

He says he just needs to fine tune the recipe a little bit to reduce the odor.

He says this one is a sure thing.

Here's an example of a large jackpot won by an east coast resident, as many are. It is probably close to 25%/75% California versus other states in the Mega Winner competition. I don't think I've won more than 5 bucks playing the Mega Millions game, though I recently won $594.00 in the Fantasy 5 game, which is strictly a California operation. Hopefully, this New York winner will be smart, and not have his or her face on national television.

Part me wants to give up on both games, but I continue to play because you never know

Last month someone in Louisiana won the Power, and in someone in Florida won, so that makes three down south winners. MMs seem to live for Cali and NY. Congrats to the winners. Let's be honest here, we don't mean that.

Congratulations to the four players who won $250,000 by getting the first five numbers and saving themselves a dollar by not adding Powerplay.

Big congratulations to the player from Texas who won $1,000,000 by not being a cheapskate and paying another dollar to add Powerplay.

Congrats to the winners, it was an interesting weekend having both games have jackpot winners.

Out of 10 lines (5 per game) I think I matched 3 numbers and none of them being the Powerball or Mega Ball numbers. These games haven't been good to me lately.

By Todd Northrop

The USA's two biggest multi-state lottery games produced jackpot winners this weekend.

Mega Millions was the first to turn out a grand prize winner. Friday night, one lucky player from New York matched the first five numbers plus the Mega Ball number to win it all.

The jackpot was worth $54 million, or $36.7 Million if awarded as one lump-sum cash payment. Both amounts are before taxes are withheld.

The winning numbers for the Sept. 17 Mega Millions drawing were 3, 4... [ More ]
