  Knowing the most likely outcome for thousands of ticket buyers I wouldn't ever recommend in good conscience anybody ever waste their money on a lottery ticket, however that isn't going to stop me from buying a couple.

  You're never guaranteed a rollover regardless of what comes out or the size of the jackpot. Waiting too long may cause you to lose out on an amount you'll be happy with.

  I was really hoping for a bump before tonight's drawing.  If it rolls, then before Sat. However, the increase of $80 mil from tonight's drawing to Sat's drawing if it rolls is pretty durn big.   Then again, why not??

  I hope it continues to roll.

  I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the PB to win the largest PB jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars! I hope that one $2 ticket is the only one that matches all 5 numbers plus the Mega Ball to win the largest Mega Millions jackpot in United States history of over $2 Billion Dollars!
