Got my tickets about 30 minutes before the cutoff, ended up having stuff come up tonight and almost didn't get out in time. I have faith though that I'm gonna hit tonight, good luck to everyone else, maybe we can have a split jackpot.

I might try that too now that I lopped off my beard.

I don't wanna talk about the last time I lit the potbelly stove and my beard got in the way.

Everybody laughed but it wasn't funny.

It was a conflagration.

Each month I buy a multiple-draw ticket for the next 9 drawings.

It is a quick-pick ticket, is $1 per draw, is additional $1 megaplier per draw (so that is a total of $2 per draw, using the same quick pick #s generated on the 'master' ticket).

By the way, can any of the pros here instruct me on how to determine of a multiple-draw, quick-pick ticket has previously won the jackpot for either Megamillions or Powerball games

Chris Shaw from Marshall,Missouri won $258.5 million on a $5.00 Quick Pick in Power Ball last April. If Chris could do it,I think I could do it too in Mega Millions!. I'll take 5 Quick Picks please!.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of tickets were sold today on account of it being St. Patrick's Day. Didn't find any four-leaf clovers so I didn't buy. I already bought 1 QP the day before however. May buy 1 more tomorrow.

Maybe its just me but I find it odd how they allow the jackpot to keep increasing so the state and government can get more money-back when they allow a certain number from a certain geographical area which the lottery commission picks.has anyone else noticed how predetermined qps look.

I usually spend what ever I feel represents my best efforts to win which could be anywhere from $5 to $20. Before I retired I would partner up with co-workers to spend more but now I play alone.

Just curious, how much on average does everyone spend? At most for me is two dollars, one my pick and the other a computer pick.

i want to to roll to 400+ million, or break the 240m cash record.

i also want only 1 person to win it all!

2 more rolls and we have lotto fever out of control! like 380 million jackpot we just had months ago

3 more rolls we have our first half a freaking billion jackpot, chances of are getting this reality, 1% maybe, but i can dream it could roll to such amounts
