I decided to buy a $2 ticket. If the jackpot increases I'll buy another $2 ticket for the next draw. Very tiny chance of winning. You shouldn't spend large amounts of money on this. It's like betting on a 20 team parlay.

[TheGoldenGoose]

If you play you should buy the multiplier for an extra dollar. Three dollars per ticket.

Jackpot now at 810 million

[OldBill]

omg id share with 500 others 810 million divided by 500 = $1,620,000.00 - $534,600 taxes = $1,085,400.00 if you earned 50 k a year it would take 21.7 years to get that much

best way to increase odds of winning it is to get results from past 2 years and make charts for all numbers and track which ones have hit most frequently in pairs , missing too many consecutive drawings and play at least 100 different tickets but using the same 1st 4 numbers on all also for free but longer odds is PCH.com many ways to win millions $ but you cannot enter any lotto drawing 100 times

No. It’s 1 in 300,000,000 million odds no matter how you chalk it up. No reason to buy more than one ticket. A 2$ day dream

[GunShard]

If I won this jackpot. I would do something fun for this forum.
I would create a poll thread and everyone pick one NFL team that believe will win the next super bowl.
Everyone that correctly pick the super bowl winner, you will win $10,000 from me.

Raising Canes founder buying Mega Millions tickets for every employee


BATON ROUGE, La. (WVUE) - The founder of Raising Cane’s is buying a $2 Mega Millions ticket for each of his employees as the jackpot grows to the fourth-largest prize ever.
The next Mega Millions drawing will be held Tuesday, July 26. Lottery officials have raised the grand prize to $810 million. The prize has grown large because there hasn’t been a winner in three months, from its $20 million starting point in April.
Todd Graves is buying one ticket on behalf of each of his 50,000 employees. If any of the tickets wins the mammoth prize, he says every Cane’s employee stands to win thousands of dollars.
“As soon as we heard how big this jackpot prize is, we couldn’t miss out on the chance to win the Mega Millions jackpot and share it with our Crew who always stand together,” Graves said.“None of what we do at Cane’s would be possible without our Crew, which is why we are always looking for ways to bring them a little extra fun, and if we’re lucky, a surprise on Wednesday morning.”

If I win you all get nothing.

This thread embodies what the lottery is all about, it's not about the odds it's about the dream.

Listen to all of us talking like a bunch of little kids.

There is no other gambling device or anything for that matter an adult can buy for $2 and derive this much joy from. That is the equity you get in the lottery it's like a license to dream.

You spend that $2 and then you sit back and think about who's going to get your new number who's going to get a million who you're going to tell the punk off, how you going to tell your boss off.

It's not about the odds it's about the dream.

1 ticket for me $2

[jjgold]

[pologq]

1 ticket for me and i enter the work pool for $5. i don't want to be that guy who did not enter the work pool when everyone else wins and i have to keep working.

that said, i hate entering the work pool. i just feel like the money is being thrown away.

[jjgold]

History says big pot winners =ruing lives

Go read up on it stories unreal what money did to them and problems it created including murders and kidnappings

If you win how will it feel to have 24 security? I do not think you would like it

[pavyracer]

I saved $250 the last 3 months by not playing the lottery. Now I have $250 to built a bankroll for football season. A lot of people want to be hares by I like to be a turtle.

Those are idiots though. Do it right and set up a trust under an anonymous name and then keep your mouth shut. Tell your family members you won a million or two hitting a slot machine at the casino if they ask about your spending. Don’t go nuts, buy a home, take some vacations, invest and never work again.

Joe Biden's two dollar lottery? No thanks. I'll stick to the less inflationary one dollar game.
