it rolled to 172m, as 108.9m cash

or atfer max fed rate of 35%, 70,850,000 , o hell ya i glady take 70m atfer tax's!

as for it being on track to copy cat $168 Million as 107m cash ,

so far as its rollovers amounts are mirroring as just like what happened with epic run we had 2 months ago that is

if it keeps rolling , i think it be safe call it to just above 200m if it rolls over, , then just about 243 -250m ish,

and form their,its blastoff, the jackpots Solid Rocket Booster... [ More ]

About to head out and get my tickets. Have had a strain of back luck lately so maybe today with this draw it'll change.

I can only hope.

i also would like to get my mom to retire... she works 2 jobs also plus my dad is not in good health, so when i can not be here she has to be in two places at once. i want to win for them if i won the 5+0 with out a megaplier i would just give it to them... if i won the 1 million i would spit it with them! 500K before taxes is good enough for both of us!

However, the entire jackpot would be my chance to really help them. i would form a trust and give them half! they can really be set for the

Of course it would be nice to win the jackpot. Lately, ive been wanting to win the match 5+0 $1,000,000 megaplied/powerball powerplayed prize. I just want my mom to retire, and buy a nice single family house with a garage. She's 51 and works two jobs cleaning houses and working at a supermarket.

I honestly hope it rolls 4-5 more times, it would be interesting to see if it would get close to breaking 400. The jackpot on August 28 2009 make a nice leap from the previous (+84 mil), but the jackpot on May 4, 2010 didn't really have the same go as the Jan 4 2011 run did. It might of been the perfect storm with xmas and the new year happening (the spending season). Only time will tell.

Look at the Harris' ($275m), Chris Shaw ($258m), Chaney/West famillies ($340m) and the Lerner's ($258m). Those were some of the highest ever jackpots but they're still keeping low, you just have to be smart about everything. The problem with Jack Whitaker and Abraham Shakespeare is they just either didn't get the advice they needed or they went crazy with the money. If we did have a $400 million winner and they were smart about it I don't think they'd have any issue living here.

Thankfully th... [ More ]

What if it grows past the previous large jackpot say 400 Million the person that won that or people that won would have to move to Peru or Japan or somewhere eles but America becuase they would be a household name!

But when i win i will form a trust because i want to live a life of peace and comfort

Hi joshuacloak!

Looking at your post made me go back to what happened in Dec 2010/Jan 2011 and how fast the jackpot grew.....

Once the jackpot reached $168M on Dec 24, 2010 it took off from there.........it just might happen that fast again!

For the record, here was the run:

Friday, Dec 24, 2010 Jackpot = $168M ( we are almost there right now with the current $151M jp...)

No one hit...

Monday, Dec 27, 2010 Jackpot = $196M

Tuesday, Dec 28, 2010 Jackpot = $200M (increased

The jackpot for Friday night's multi-state Mega Millions lottery draw now stands at $151 million, the largest since January 4th, when a $380 million mega-jackpot was split by two winning tickets from Idaho and Washington.

Hmmm, I was just thinking...

I haven't seen ThatScaryChick (Idaho) or Delta Draw (Washington) around lately, hmmm...

I'm trying to remember if they ever said they were going to split with me, hmmm...

I wouldn't say ' a little more excited' as much as I would 'less bummed out about not winning'.

glad to see it getting near 100m cash, just 1 more roll.....

$94.3m cash as a annuity of 151

vs powerballs highest of late 91.2m cash as a annuity of 182.1m ,

i almust love mm for having much more cash vs inlarged annuity for marketing

, thro it has a lot to roll to catch up to our 240m cash record setter we had at this year start, thro if it rolls a few more times, 41 states that sell MM has proven if it gets ahold of large jackpots, the rollover amounts are a thing of Holy F...

It would be nice if states allowed people to buy tickets by mail from out of state.

I dont understand why somebody in another country cannot buy

a whole years Megamillions tickets but can buy shoes or bet on horse racing in Dubai.

Enough with the 1947 way of doing things

I usually buy my tickets at a grocery store or mini mart instead of gas station, because that's where jackpot hit the most.

Is it just me or does anyone else get a little more excited when they find out nobody has won the jackpot? LOL
