Just got back from buying some Mega Millions tickets- I know I know, I'll never win... but if I do.... :lmao:

The jackpot is at 640 million right now; which means the jackpot went up almost 100 million since yesterday.

Wish me luck! :D

Only takes one to win - the right one. The convenient store clerk didn't sell it to me yet. ;)

I think that with 640 milllion, he could probably hook each and every one of us on this forum up with a new vehicle of our choice, including mods, of course, buy us all dinner and drinks, set us up in fancy hotel suites so we don't have to drive home etc., etc. And then still have roughly 640 million left in the bank.

That's what I would do.... I'm just sayin'...!:D

Am I missing something here: There's a 1:147 million odds of hitting the jackpot. Why wouldn't someone with 150Million (edit: 1:176 million) buy one of each number combination? Guaranteed win, while it might be "shared" the odds of sharing with more than one person would be quite unlikely.

The next drawing's going to be crazy - no grand prize winner this time around.
Edit: No winners listed when I looked last night - drat - there are three of'm

Can you imagine the look on the clerk's face at the convenience store, when you told him he would have to punch in all 176 million, 6 digit combinations into the machine? :lmao:

plus if you had every possible combination of numbers you would hit each of the winning levels several times, not just the jackpot. for example you would match 5 numbers on several tickets, 4 numbers on several tickets, 3 numbers etc. And then you could use all the losing tickets towards a tax write off also.
