The important number is the $128,500,000 cash jackpot and according to http://www.tax-rates.org/ my share would be about $77 million.......

Down-sizing is not a option. Only the best will do.

Your correct ryanm. Thank you for your keen observation! Wednesday the 3rd of October it is.

I think you mean Wednesday the 3rd of October. Saturday the 29th is the draw after the next, and I doubt the jackpot will increase by $100 million in one draw.

I hit for a 1+1 last evening on my two lines, so at least my play was paid for.

I plan on playing five lines for Wednesday. I'm sure THRIFTY would agree my chances are just as good as the asset managers in Conn.

I predict it will get so high that they sell 175 million tickets for one draw and still dont give up the JP. And then it will reset after that when they sell over 200 million for one draw......

I think it's more democratic the way it is, I have an equal chance at winning some money with 10 lines at that person that buys 39 lines with all the bonus numbers. In fact my 10 lines last night matched 0+1 for $4 which I plan on spending Wednesday on another 10 lines.

I predict the jackpot will be reset Saturday the 29th for $300 million (two more draws).

If LL is right and they only stop doing pre-draws when there IS NO WINNER, as high as they want.

I say when it hits a$$$$$ billion $$$$$.

Yes.... I would gladly buy an extra 100 or even 200 QPs knowing that 99% of them are going to be losers.

Five people came close to resetting the jackpot last night. How long can it keep growing if that increases the next time which I suspect will because $200,000,000 jackpots bring out even more players.

taking in $6 mill means $3 mill extra for the prize pool and only giving $2.5 mill to lucky losers would leave an increase for the JP you are going to win....... More money for you AND more money for losers.....

Doing that would just increase the 47% Romney was talking about.

Down size. Everyone except the government must do it....

Sounds like just having a decent job would change your life if $100,000 would do it. Problem is, people who had such jobs and lost them also had their lives changed too.

But suppose it increased sales by $6 million??? See what I'm talkin about??? Huh

It would hurt something fierce, because it would diminish the next jackpot by $2.5 million, which I intend to win.

Screw the losers, let them have their own rant and rave party

Just think how the popularity of losing tickets would skyrocket

Exactly gogidolim,

What would it hurt to give away $100,000. to 25 lucky losing tickets, each time the jackpot goes higher

Why need that much of money? I can change my life with just $100,000.
