Fancy cars do nothing for me. I could use another Tahoe, but I'd really love a little piece of property out in the country where I have oodles of Martins. I bought my Mega ticket this morning, and a Powerball to boot

The odds against winning may be high BUT...

If you don't play, isn't it guaranteeing that you WON"T win?!!

So, the odds are better if you play than if you don't!!!

Would it be presumptuous for me to ask for a Black Range Rover instead? (Please, and thank you). It's much cheaper. Although if I don't win, I'll never be able to afford to maintain it. Details, details.

Can I just say this thread made my night! I love being reminded how funny and clever people can be.

I'll be buying mine in the morning....it will be worth it to dream for a few hours and tease my BF about having to do whatever I say once I'm his sugar momma.

In the unlikely, but amazingly awesome event that I do win, you won't be hearing it from me. I think I'll have to play it cool for a while until most of the frenzy dies down. Then...it will be lots of travel. Everywhere! And, you're all invited!

Well the odds of winning is 1-178 Million. If you put down 178 Million, you're going to make a nice profit lol

Anyhow, I started a small lotto group and we're pushing $300 for tickets tomorrow. I have no problems spliting $540 Million 10 ways

Maybe. Maybe not.
Lotto FAQ | Frequently Asked Lottery Questions

A TV report said so many people are buying tickets that all combinations of numbers may be used up, and so there very well may be a winner.
