Time for the obligatory "holy shit, the lottery is high" thread.

How much you in for? How much will you give to Justin for this place if you win?

I would throw a few grand to Justin so he could upgrade the site.

Everyone pitch in $10 and I'll buy a shit ton of numbers and split it amongst those that bought in when we win. Or I'll just take the monies and not buy tickets. Either way, I win!

Probably pick up some when it gets this high.

Fwe years ago when to Indiana to get powerball. Lost. Went back for the next one as it was like 300 million. Saw numbers, thought I got all but the powerball right and called and that wins 100k dollars. All day I thought I won 100k....so figured 50k after taxes. All day I think about how to spend it.....

Get to the place in indiana to cash out...and i noticed it waas the ticket from the previous drawing and won NOTHING. I did run them through and won a few bucks but not 100k.

From the last time the Mega was huge (380 million, 2 winners) in January, it was 1 each way:
“Carolyn and I used to play our birthdays, 08-15-42 and 04-25-47,” Jim explained to Washington State’s Governor, Christine Gregoire, who came to meet the winner. “We first used the numbers playing the Oregon Lottery years ago and won $18,000. This time Carolyn said we should go back to using our lucky numbers. So we did and here we are!”
Vicki Cozzens told Reuters in an interview that she sold Lahti the ticket at Ady's Convenience and Car Wash in Post Falls, Idaho, and that Lahti asked for a quick pick, or numbers randomly generated by the lottery computer.
