    anybody ever play the lottery.....

    but not by buying tickets, but by playing the options of yes or no on a jackpot winner. just noticed that 5dimes has this line out for jackpot winner:

    Mega Millions Jackpot Winner

    Fri 3/18

    11 Mega Millions Jackpot Winner +175
    12 No Jackpot Winner -210

    seems like more chances than not there will be no jackpot winner. at 2 drawings a week there hasn't been a jackpot winner in the last 12 drawings. and before that winner it was 7 drawings in a row.

    The higher the jackpot, the more people will play though. So chances of the jackpot being hit increases.

    true, but damn that almost seems like free money if you play it twice weekly.

    Gotta agree with Dad. There's a reason most jackpots don't get to the $200 million.

    Those lines won't hold.. They change for each drawing. depends if there is a winner or not.

    again, true. but at this point i'd rather drop my money on a -210 1:175,000,000 odds (depending on the number of entries of course) vs. a -210 fav in say nba

    After someone hits the jackpot 5dimes puts out something like no jackpot winner -2000 on the next drawing.
