I don't think ANY Lottery Commission is open on the weekends, if he is the winner I really hope he has security he really needs to protect that ticket. If it was me I would not be posting on FB or Twitter. I really hope he is someplace secure for his own sake as well as his family....

Simba774 — Sun, 01 Apr 2012 06:08:06 GMT

They're not even open on weekends and all I seen was a photo of the ticket, not his face. Hell, I wish it were me too.

im predicting that illinois an kansas will do interviews, maryland will not show his face. the reason i say this is because if you look at winners stories on powerball.com, maryland won twice in 2011 an both times name withheld

I only buy tickets at 7eleven there is like 8 of them within 5miles of my house and I went to 3 different ones and bought a total of 18 tickets the most I have ever spent, maybe it will get back up to atleast 300m and the next jackpot winner will be form Maryland again!

But atleast the frenzy is over! I went to 7eleven last night, the pick your number papers were all over the floors, I was in the middle of 2 men getting very mad at the guy behind the counter. He had a thick african accse... [ More ]

That snip really got to me; it really freaking hurts....especially when you used to live in that same neighborhood a few months ago. idk if ill ever get over this loss lol. i just never think it could happen to us and finally it does! i hope the wins go straight back to NY and Cali just to spite the state and the dman 7-11. i rarely go to 7-11 cuz...

Jill34786 — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 15:48:51 GMT

That will be interesting to see! I am up in Maryland and bought a few tickets, unfortunately in Montgomery County and not Baltimore. Flying back to Florida this evening so I guess I'll check to see if I won anything. How did you do

Bought tickets in Maryland. Montgomery County which is about 25 miles south of Baltimore County

AS A RESIDENT OF MARYLAND I ALWAYS PLAY IN MARYLAND TO KEEP THE REVENUE HERE IN OUR STATE

AND AT THE GIANT FOOD STORE....THERE ARE USUALLY NO LINES TO PLAY AND IF A LINE IT'S ALWAYS

VERY SHORT......;...) LOOKING FORWARD TO PLAYING AGAIN......THEY R ALWAYS GLAD TO SEE CUSTOMERS

PLAY THERE....THEY GET A PIECE OF THE PIE WHEN WE WIN, AS DOES MARYLAND...EVERYBODIES HAPPY...;..

Oh of course! I've seen it on this forum, members posting that they have a feeling it's going to be them and they have the winning ticket, sending out positive vibes and visualizing themselves winning and the universe will return good karma ect... One member expericenced a feeling while walking back to his/hercar that those were his/her final steps as a regular citizen and their life was about to change big time.

It happens all the time! That's why you keep playing! True there is always next... [ More ]

EQUALLY FAB THE WINNING TICKET WAS A QP NOW THAT IS TRULY PHENOMINAL AS

QP WINS ARE ALSO A RARE BREED IN THE STATE OF MARYLAND FOR MEGAMILLIONS AND POWERBALL

NOW THAT 711 STORE WILL BE INNUDATED FROM NOW ON....;.....

Libra-pinx09 — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 12:54:34 GMT

Wierd...I'm a Libra who lives in Maryland! I'm proud of our state too but also bummed because I didn't win.

I guess the seeing a ladybug thing is a myth I saw on my backdoor window 2 weeks ago and one landed on my moms car window right when I was about to open the door so I took that as a good sign and bought some tickets and so did my mom I matched one number, so right state wrong player, or maybe it's just not my time to win yet. Just gotte keep praying on it!

I guess theres always next... [ More ]

The spokesman for the Illinois lottery says three tickets have split the record $640 million Mega Millions jackpot.

Mike Lang says the winning tickets were in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland.

Can't wait for MM to climb back up to $640 million again in 18 weeks or so, and do it all over again

So around 90-100 million each if they take the cash and after taxes. Congrats to those lucky SOBs.

Although I'd like to have seen a winner from Texas this time, I am just tickled to death it wasn't NY and CA! Congrats to the winners from IL, KS, and MD

Comment #492

Arrowhead — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 11:40:32 GMT

Ya know, feels about right. Three major winners that we know of and going to be lots of $250,000 winners. One more roll would have had an insanity vibe to it. Not sure everyone could have handled it.

Won a few bucks, will use them tonight...$6.5 mil Ohio Lotto Classic here we come! Going to be like playing for quarters in the alley after the big one, though...

Masone — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 09:34:47 GMT

I'm glad I came to my senses before I did anything crazy.

I wonder what's going through the winner's head right now? You know you're a millionaire, but you don't know how much it will be exactly. Could be 300 million, or could be as little as 60 million.

Me too!! I just woke up to check the USAMega site and it's still the same, as my state lotto

site has not changed as well, still says $640 million. Strange not to have updates especially with

a jackpot this big.

As of 5 AM Eastern, Maryland Lottery's site is still claiming a winner but the jackpot number still says $640 million.

BREAKING NEWS: Winning $640 Million Mega Millions Ticket Sold in Baltimore County; one of several nationwide.

Wondering if maybe it's not 100% official yet? I'm not surprised that the MM site hasn't been updated with Tuesday's jackpot, but I am surprised that USA Mega has nothing yet... unless Todd said screw this, I'm going to bed, we'll sort this out in the morning.... [ More ]

Oh, CollegeLad09, don't hate that fact; something would be wrong if you didn't feel that 'euphamistic way' and purchased lottery tickets anyhow. If you can still afford to spend the monies as entertainment, go ahead and buy one or two tickets for PB and MM with/multiplier option each drawing. Or if lesser budget remains, choose a 'particular cash lump sum, after taxes dollar amount' that makes sense for the minimum lifestyle you (and perhaps 3 family members you will claim an equal or lesser % o...

The MM's website has not listed how many winners there were yet, but I know I wasn't one of them. I only got the Mega ball 23. On friday I only won 35 dollars in all. I won some chump change off three of my scratch off tickets yesterday.

I simply hate the fact I still got tht gut feeling like I will winsome day. I'm sure everyone does. I think I'm just gonna go back on my 1 ticket per draw streak. I'll avoid all medi and lottery sites. I'll just by my tickets and check them weeks later....that's how everyone else seems to win.

I only got 2, 4, 38 on one ticket and 23, 23 on my second for a total winning of 10 bucks. Only bought 2 dollars in tickets, so a 10 dollars win isn't bad. Anyways, I hope everyone win something today. As for me, I'll wait until another 462 million dollars cash value price to start playing again.
