Don't forget to but your Mega Millions tickets!

[a4u2fear]

Got mine , off to Sabres game for a guaranteed 50/50 of $25k, gotta win something!

[Roadtrip635]

Friday night.

I'm gonna grab some tickets Louisvillekid, even though that chances of me winning are less than having both you and me hit by lightning seperately, and then attacked by a shark, seperately!

If i win I hope neither of us is struck by lightning and attacked by a shark before I can collect!

I also bet on 5 Dimes that no one wins today.

Put 50 on this massive long shot.

Basically 50 to win 640 mil for Dodgers to win the Stanley Cup. Yes Dodgers, Stanley Cup.

Pretty much, I'm so mad I still believe though

[Baller85]

Best of luck! I got $10 worth myself.

Can anyone explain why a winner is considered such a lock by 5 Dimes?

Is it because of the volume of tickets sold today?

I read that they have been selling 14 million tickets an hour the past 48 hours or something like that so if there is only 175 million combos someone is bound to get it, but can you imagine if no one won and it reached a BILLION.

[Lazy-Man]

Wow. It was -350 just yesterday. Unreal line movement

[guitarjosh]

i hope you win

[ebbearsfb1]

I thought I heard as of today they sold every combo possible...

[yisman]

^ Can you find a source for that?

Anyway, it was my error not knowing the frequency of the drawings. The last drawing was Tuesday, and people have been buying like crazy, so it would be hard to imagine there not being a winner tonight.

[mynameismud]

no way it rolls over again. dont be surprised to see multiple winners.

[Lazy-Man]

O/U 2.5 Winners

[mynameismud]

O/U 2.5 Winners

i say over. it would be cool if like 3 tickets hit and all 3 were part of big office pools. maybe spread the 650 million with 40 or 50 people.

[ebbearsfb1]

Saw it on nj.com... in one of the million artciles... what I don't understand is if its 640 million... why is the lump sum b4 tax 340 million.. where does the 300 million go?

[NYSportsGuy210]

If you buy every winning combo possible that is 176 million dollars you spend on tickets. If no one else but you wins you make a profit of like $190 million.

But if you split even one way you are down like $10 million right there. Most likely this will get split like 5 ways tonight.....I still got my $60 worth of tickets.

The numbers 1,2 will not hit tonight. I am expecting the lowest number to be in the teens somewhere as a single digit was picked three time in a row the last three Mega Millions drawings and it rarely gets picked 4x in a row. Also love the numbers 16, 36, 38 and 44. Thses numbers have been picked the most times this year so far.

[yisman]

^ That's because the 640 million is a bogus number. You only get that if you agree to have it spread out in installments.

If you choose to take it all at once, it's a lot less.

[Dutch]

I thought I heard as of today they sold every combo possible...

I heard this too on morning radio.

[yisman]

5 Dimes now has yes a winner at -1200 and I bet it.

[Iwinyourmoney]

There are exactly 175,711,536 combinations in Mega Millions. Therefore it would cost you $175,711,536 to buy all the combinations.

This. The total sum of 640 million in reality is just 460 million being invested in securities over the next 26 years. Thats why people end up taking the lump sum cash instead.

[mynameismud]

the 640 is total amount taken if you pick annuity because of the interest it will collect over the 26 years. the actual cash value is only half that

[yisman]

I wonder if they'll tell us how many tickets were sold for this drawing. I'm curious.

A lot of people bought a lot of tickets due to the publicity.

Either way, the lotto cleans up again.
