So you do have a sense of humor- you sly dog. All this time l felt l was dealing with Stoic the Vast . Point Taken Kentuckian.

I can't remember the last time there were multiple jackpot winners in either game and probably unlikely without a buying frenzy. But I wouldn't want to temp Karma by saying I want it all . Comparing last night's sales of 26 million to the 258 million possible outcomes shows how difficult it is to have multiple jackpot winners.

How many people were surprised the Roberts/Lovett marriage only lasted two years? See what I mean

Since I like to pick my own numbers in my own special way, I can't expect someone else to share the cost of playing them. Since I don't expect anyone to share the cost of playing them I don't expect anyone thinks I should share any winnings I get playing them.

Splitting sounds fine to me. How can someone guarantee he/she will be a single winner

I always get worried when it gets over $150 million. As I believe with every 150 million the amount of possible winning tickets goes up. I'm more that willing to share any jackpot that I win because I'll still have more than I started with in the first place. That being said, who wouldn't want to win that large of a jp all for themselves

I think I'd really need to see at least half a billy, cash, to sustain my lifestyle through retirement

As far as sharing, no way moselay.

Stranger things have happened Stack- even though you quote a 10% chance of a winner for the MM jackpot, the lottery being random means anything can happen, and in some cases it does. Who would have thought that * Pretty Woman- Julia Roberts would have married Lyle Lovett... See what l mean

With MM sales sales of 24,553,569 and PB sales of 16,375,707 in their last drawing and without a huge increase in sales, there is only about a 10% chance of one MM winner. And PB chances are much lower.

Wanting to win enough to carry me through to end, let's see... based on my current age and the current expected life expectancy, I need to win... hmmmm... looks like $87.

JK! I'll take it all and be gracious and grateful. If the powers that be deem me to share I'll be just as appreciative, as well.

I won't even play. Having to deal with all the scammers, con artists, beggars, leaches etc after your name is publicized isn't worth it. Plus every time there's a big JP, your name will be brought up all over again. I for one, don't need or want to deal with all that . I'll take a small JP that nobody cares about.

I figure that 3 mil after taxes would be enough to retire on, at my age. I would be super grateful for any amount won.

I'd want it all of course, but with the current runs we are likely to see concurrent $1,000,000,000+ jackpots which highly increases the odds of multiple winners.

The C/V is almost 90MIL.

I'd be happy w/ a 10 way split.

I would be satisfied with one million dollars after taxes. The equals $50,000.00 per year for twenty years.

More than that is just gravy.

I have heard that $75,000.00 a year is the income level that would satisfy most people. Any more than that would not raise their happiness level.

The only way I play when the odds are really huge is in a group. I also wait for the jackpot to be huge.

So huge odds plus huge jackpot means it is a good time to play but only in a group.

Single Winner or are you prepared to go with a two or three way split- you being part of the split of course? Or are you a hard - shelled lottery player who wants all the marbles for he or herself? Meaning you willing to wait for who knows how long as apposed to getting a slice of the pie along with others?
