  22 Draws have gone by, unclaimed.

  Boy, just think of that $218 mil.

  I could sure use a new suit.

  (well, other things too, but it's about time I dressed half-way decently).

  • Don't chase the numbers you play.
    
  • Play only numbers you've already played, plus however many random picks.
    
  • But, ALWAYS the regular numbers you play.  This will make you a winner, not a chaser.
             (so far, though, I've yet to win any significant lotto prize)
    
  • Oh, but always know where your tickets are, as well as your ticket's deadline.

  First MM Billion Dollar Jackpot?

  Mark my words, this jackpot is going over half a billion at the bare minimum and will very likely break the current record for largest MM jackpot.

  I do not think mega millions will ever see the billion mark unless they raise the ticket cost to $2 because of the odds.  When they sell like $400 to $500 million tickets they will reach their all combinations sold threshold.  So even if that happens this time on this run I still think they will be short of a billion like $700 million maybe some were around their.  Of course I could be totally wrong on my estimation it is just my opinion.-weshar75

  If it'll make you happy I'll spend a couple of extra bucks trying to do just that.  Don't expect me to share if I'm successful.

  I completely agree. It would be nice though to see another billion dollar jackpot, the miserable jackpot numbers now are quite pitiful (The big 430 million Power ball JP exempted). I'll happily take 700M though.

  I don't think that anyone would complain if they won a smaller jackpot or for that matter, even a 5 0f 5 $1 million prize.

  Whatever you won would be a lot more than you had before and should or would be grateful for it.

  If it has to be, it should be me! I have plans for the money. It will be put to good use.

  I'd rather see more frequent winners than a jackpot that rolls over week after week. Frequent winners make me feel it's possible to win. 

  Our state's lotto just keeps rolling, making it feel like an impossible game to win.  The smaller lucky day lotto feels more exciting because there's a winner of several hundred thousand nearly every week. MM producing a winner usually every two months or so seems OK to me.

   

  Looking forward to a MM winner soon. Nothing pitiful about 200+ million in my view.

  The bigger the jackpot, the bigger the dreams.  200M is a nice pay day, but the odds are so bad that it doesn't really excite like a billion dollar jackpot does. I'll take 200M though.

  Why not win it for yourself instead of him?  If I win it, it's going to be for me, to hell with the wannabe winners.
