Congratulations GNTS.
Have you ever seen those joke scratcher lottery tickets, each one is a $10,000 winner, but it's just a joke. A friend of mine gave one to his mother in law for xmas. She freaked out and was screaming and jumping up and down, thinking she won. After about 20 minutes he told what he had done and that it was a joke and now she hates him even more. I guess it had the desired effect.

Great NTS. How many numbers do you need to win the Millions. Keep playing and it just might happen. You hear of these winners stoping to buy gas and oh tonight is the lottery give me one ticket and then they win. I hope that is you as I know it will never be me.

Thanks Libra, you too can be a winner
To win the mega millions top prize you have to have all 6 numbers. 5 numbers, and the 'mega' ball.
If you get 5 numbers (I think!) you get $175,00 and 4 number plus the mega you get $5000, and so on
Yellowstone, I'll have to check it out, right now gotta go spend this 'fortune' LOL!!!
Oh Libra here is the url (its only in 9? states, so maybe your state is in there or you have some other big lottery, WA has both their own Lotto, and we have Mega Millions) It just went up to a measly $112 million, since no one won last night!

Congratulations!
Three friends (two very good) of mine went in on some tickets last May(?) and matched 5. After taxes they each received around $38,000. (One of them bought me a cup of coffee!) I was happy for them.
Do something frivolous that you wouldn't ordinarily do. I realize it's not that much money, but did you really expect to get that much? Save some to invest in your retirement fund (another ticket)

twig, I certainly did something frivolous!
I took it to the casino
Now wait! LOL
I sat there and played some slots, I actually got BORED and so I sat near the blackjack tables where Mike was, and was idly playing a TWO CENT machine with 20 dollars, hittin the button, not paying attention, when I guess I hit some kind of bonus, and next thing I know the guy next to me is saying, you know that going over $300? NO I didn't! They use credits in the machine, and holy sh!t I won $400, so I didn't lose there! man.. I'm not going to press my luck any more. We had lunch and left! So I left there with my original $150 and an extra $400! Its all going into the bank now! LOL!
Not going to try that again!
I will still play mega, but I only spend $2 at the most, it lets me daydream if I won the top money, what I would do! Thats good enough for me!!
Twig? one only bought you coffee!? with $38k! Well, I'd take ya to dinner or lunch at least, like I took Mikey!

The funny thing is, one of them owns the restaurant and the other two work there! The cup of coffee was from one of the employees!
Thanks! I'll wait until you get the big money before I collect on that lunch, but be forewarned, I don't do McDonald's...
Congratulations for your other windfall! I hope you bought your tickets...Mom says these things happen in threes!

NTS, I think tuesday is a really big jacketpot 100 somethin + million?
I remember when this 21 year girl in NJ won. 48 mil or somesuch. She said it was the 1st time she played. She will never have to work or want for anything in her life!! I find mostly retired people play and win. But by then....what can ya really enjoy of it much? The pleasure of taking care of your kids???
lol.

NTS, invest any of your winnings???
....121 Million on the line there tonight........
I think California just joined this game. Betcha somebody from there will win. They always do that. Rope the new states in with some excitment.
It's a conspiracy, I tell ya.....!!!
(I actually read about it as such on a few hokie web sites, but part of me believes there is some truth to what they say.)
