When I lived in Baltimore, people would drive to neighboring states just to play in the 'other' lottery. Can't remember if Maryland had Powerball or MegaMillions. DC was the likely destination for those who wanted to play in the lottery that wasn't held in Maryland.

The closest other state to me is about 3 hours away.

What? $222 million isn't enough for 6 hours of your time?

Sheesh.

Wolfpack · 05-28-2009, 11:12 PM

A bit of weird irony that the winner bought his/her ticket in the town of, er...well...Winner, SD.

Also had the thought that winning nearly $230 million would pretty much mean that person could buy most of South Dakota, wouldn't it?

If not the whole state, he could at least buy up several Indian reservations.

stevew · 08-12-2009, 11:22 PM

Both the Powerball and Mega millions are at 150 or more. Powerball drew tonite. May be 200M if nobody won. Mega draws on Fri

sooner333 · 08-13-2009, 02:49 AM

I didn't win and nobody else did either. Looks like it will top $200 million on Saturday.

Is Lathum buying a ticket?

Why do you keep asking that?

DaddyTorgo · 08-13-2009, 10:10 AM

i might offer to go halfsies with lathum and front him the cost of a ticket, but only on the condition that if we win he has to have "WORLD'S GREATEST WEREWOLF" tattood across his forehead and leave it there for the rest of his life...

duckman · 08-13-2009, 10:12 AM

I'll be making a financial investment this Saturday.

Well crap, I guess it was another thread where Lathum said he'd split his winnings with everyone who posted in a Powerball thread.

I've posted for nothing... except postcount ++ .

Oh yeah, that sounds a little familiar now..sweet deal!

stevew · 08-19-2009, 12:50 PM

Bump. Powerball is like 240ish tonight. Mega Millions is around 215 for Friday.

And I believe the regular Ohio lotto is about 35. That has to put it in near +EV range.

Flasch186 · 08-19-2009, 12:52 PM

Mustang · 08-19-2009, 12:58 PM

You know what I'd do with $240 million? 480 chicks.

So you're going to pay women 500,000k to sleep with you? I think you can **** em for a lot less then that especially if you lead them to believe that by sleeping with you they may get some money.

Sorry, we were looking for a response of "That's it? If you had a 240 million dollars, you'd do 480 chicks at the same time?"

PackerFanatic · 08-19-2009, 02:31 PM

A few folks around my work have collected money for the last two drawings, and are doing so today. I pitched in the last two, but forgot to bring money today. I swear, if they win...*shakes fist*

I don't get this. The whole point of winning 200 million plus is YOU win it. I don't want to split it with 30 other people.

Yeah, I'm the same way. If other people get any of the jackpot, it's because I gave it to them, not because I had to do so.

Autumn · 08-19-2009, 04:26 PM

It would be a pretty interesting book or documentary to follow a bunch of people who have won lotteries, I think.

Some channel, A&E or something has that.

stevew · 08-28-2009, 11:36 PM

Nobody hit for 330M tonight. I'd have to think Tuesday will approach 500M. After cash option and taxes this one has to net in the 180 range free and clear.

stevew · 08-28-2009, 11:39 PM

Did you get any tickets yet Lathim?

Lorena · 08-29-2009, 12:06 AM

Holy crap! Didn't know 'til you mentioned it, thanks steve.

Huh?

Crapshoot · 08-29-2009, 05:42 AM

I've always thought of the lottery as a tax on stupid people, but its interesting to hear from people who derive enough pleasure from the act of playing to justify it; they know they aren't going to win obviously.

Chubby · 08-29-2009, 05:50 AM

I wish somebody had hit it, now I'll have to park someone at the lottery terminal on tuesday night to handle all the sales

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 08-29-2009, 06:28 AM

Yeah, I think larnott is right. Two winning tickets were sold.

stevew · 08-29-2009, 07:30 PM

Whoops

Disregard. i must have got bad info.

EagleFan · 08-29-2009, 10:11 PM

The megamillions jackpot was hit last night, it's back down to the minimum.

Go watch Office Space - thx.

stevew · 08-29-2009, 11:14 PM

i think maybe the winner wasn't from Ohio?

Regardless I'm sorry for the bad 2nd hand info.

Raiders Army · 12-30-2010, 10:27 PM

Megamillions is up to $237M ($150.8M Cash Value). Drawing is tomorrow. If we win, we're buying a cabin in Canada, solar panels, windmills, a couple H2s, and some ATVs. This is just in case of a zombie apocalypse, alien invasion, etc.

Yep. Getting my ticket tomorrow...1 in gazillion shot at an EXTRA happy new year

kingfc22 · 01-04-2011, 06:28 PM

Mega Millions is up to $355M tonight which will be the 4th highest jackpot in US history if someone were to win.

Pumpy Tudors · 01-04-2011, 06:32 PM

If I win, I'm going to buy a pool boy in every one of the 50 states. Subby, if I win and you see me in Virginia, saddle up.

If I win, I'm buying Amanda Tapping.

tyketime · 01-04-2011, 11:08 PM

If you didn't catch the Mega Millions live drawing, the winning numbers are 4, 8, 15, 25, 47 and the Mega ball was 42.

kingfc22 · 01-04-2011, 11:20 PM

And...I'm going to work tomorrow...Guess I'll have to hope for a rollover to Friday.

Three of them were numbers that the wife and I used to play (with 4 and 8 leading the way so when I started to read the numbers I had a momentary sinking feeling that stopped as soon as I saw 15, but 25 was another one).

tyketime · 01-05-2011, 08:14 AM

No rollover - 2 winning tickets - Idaho & Washington (I believe)

Ronnie Dobbs2 · 01-05-2011, 08:23 AM

You won $150 if you played the Lost numbers.
