When You Win PB or Mega Lottey

[jctisu]

I actually got 10 and 41 on my one ticket. When the first number on the released numbers was 10 (and that was the first on my ticket as well) I would be lying if I didn't have a mild heart attack thinking, "Could it be?!?!"

Alas some Californian won yet again.

Someone in California won? I am guessing one of the founders of Google won. The 2 billion should be a small bump in their wealth.

Who are these people that buy tickets when the jackpot is $40 million?

I couldnt possibly be expected to live on such a meager sum. Why even bother?

No idea but I do know that getting stuck behind a lottery ticket person at the Hy-Vee customer service counter is like a death sentence.

Thanks for the heads up

Some people buy them no matter what. Like the people who buy scratch off tickets daily.

Who are these people that buy tickets when the jackpot is $40 million?

The same people who buy spend 10 minutes buying and scratching tickets at the counter holding up the line, and/or the people at the Tropicanna casino in Evansville, IN at 7:30 AM on a tuesday morning...

Surprised that the $2 billion Powerball winner hasn’t claimed their ticket yet.

Haha. I always think it's me that's more illogical for buying only when the jackpot hits 10 digits.

Honestly there's probably a sweet spot where once it gets larger you start expecting more than one winner.

Apparently that sweet spot is around $450M.

Let’s get this going again.

Friday - MegaMillions: 1.35 Billion
Saturday - Powerball: 404 Million
Saturday - Lotto America: 34.1 Million

Could be a very profitable weekend for a couple of people.

Pfft, like i'd even want to be a peasant with only 34 million dollars.
