Anyone playing for the mega millions jackpot? Its up to $500 million for today's drawing.

I joined a lotto pool at work. First time I've played in my life, but this is the highest it's ever been, so I figure why not.

I'm assuming I won't win anything, but theres a one in 5-million chance we will win with our pool. Hah.

I'm taking $20 to my local pub's Happy Hour. Figure I have a better chance of walking away loaded when it's all said and done and the money's gone.

🍺

Good Luck.

I'll be sure to consult Ram on what to do when I cash my ticket in. [ram27bat]

Decided to buy a Wisconsin Mega-Bucks ticket instead. 1.1 million would be enough for me to trudge through the rest of my days. Don't need the full time headache of being the lottery winner of 400 million.

Don't need the drama.

We have a pool at work. About 26 of us at 20 bucks each, plus the 36 dollars we rolled over from the last drawing.

$556 worth of lottery numbers. I believe the odds are 1 in 176 MILLION.

I'd be happy if we won $26,000 and got a grand each. Hell, I am happy now and I haven't won anything! 🌫

we're having a blast just talking about what we'd do.

we have 85 for the group. That's almost 3x what I normally do for regular pools.

Don't know if I'd be strong enough to handle the responsibility associated with such a blessing. As a disciple of Christ, keeping that blessing to myself and living high would be a despicable sin. Probably keep say $10m and live off interest only. Give some to my huge family (brothers, sisters, daughters, grandchildren, nephews, nieces, and friends), but not enough to turn them into lazy folk. Start a Foundation to run soup kitchens, food pantries, etc., to share God's blessing with those down and out. That's what I'd like to do, but I know the kind of evil person I can be when Christ isn't running the show, and am afraid that that kind of wealth would ruin me. You folks should read the stories of lottery winners, and how the money destroyed their lives. Some folks have handled it, but many say that winning was the worst thing that ever happened to them. Haven't bought a ticket yet, and don't think I'm going to. But, good luck to the rest of you.
