My husband made sure I have a ticket so I am in the running to win!  I don't get my hopes up about this.  But, if I win, I'll be happy that he bought a ticket for me.

Yes I did and then son came home from work and he had.  I read on my phone a news story that Floyd Mayweather bought 2k in tickets and I will keep my opinion of that to myself.

Hello! :D :)

No, I didn't buy any tickets because I believe in working hard to get what you want. Some people have won the lottery and their lives have become worse because they are not used to that amount of money. Money does not equal happiness! :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:

I laughed pretty hard when I went to my local Donut shop to find people buying and buying over and over again for the mega.

Everyone at work was playing so I made sure I was in with them. I don’t want them to win and leave without me.

I assume that drawing was last night.  I can't ever remember which one is Friday and which one is Saturday.  At about 8 last night I was driving and every single gas station was packed.  It will be interesting to how much it jumps this time.

I agree but I have actually won a sweepstakes before. Not a ton of money but it sure helped out. I paid off some debt.  I was in no way rich.

I honestly think if I won this lottery it would not change anything about me other than I would quit my job. I would pay off some things for a couple family members.  I would most likely sell my house and my parents could sell their house and we would move out of the city. lol. I actually have a somewhat detailed plan. haha So yeah I have thought about it.

You are only going to get probably less than half of the total amount if you take the lump sum and after taxes. Still a lot of money.

I had not bought a ticket in a couple years or more but was mad and upset about the job I hate and I bought one Wednesday morning. I didn't win anything so I wasted the $3.  Then I have been really sick and I missed work Friday and I do not get paid for days I am not there.  So no I am not going to purchase a ticket for tonight's drawing.

I have randomly picked numbers and written them down and usually I do not even match one number so I most likely would have just wasted money. My aunt played that pick 3 game (which may be a state game) for a few years and played the same numbers every time and she never won anything.

We wanted to, talked about it and then forgot to buy one.  It's not a common thing for us to purchase lottery tickets but when it's that high, have to take a chance.   Will be buying one for the next drawing.   Cannot conceive of winning that kind of money.

I have not bought a ticket, but I am thinking about it now. People waste money everyday, why not buy something that may give you the chance to earn money, so I may buy a ticket if I remember.

I bought a $2 Mega Million ticket and also a $2 Powerball ticket.  I checked both tickets and of course I didn't even match a single number.  That's my kind of luck.

my hubby and I bought 2 of each ticket and  only had one number out of them all  I prolly will take another chance on the next drawing but my hopes won't be any higher than they were the first time lol  but sooner or later someone is going be very rich

I was talked into buying one ticket. Then when I didn't win, I bought one more for the upcoming jackpot. I read the chances of being hit by an asteroid are better.

Hubby buys one every so often, I ask why he didn't buy more and his answer is  it only takes one ticket to win if  you have all of the numbers. I don't mess  with it. that I up to him. Although if we did win  we would make a lot of people happy. Our church needs a new parking lot, the ministry of hope needs a new roof and   a few other repairs.   I would also donate  to the upkeep of  several old cemataries that  need  help. then what. We don't need anything at our age.  Maybe another  car and I would buy a  used one. that way all of the bugs are worked out of it.

Hubby buys one once in a while, I ask why he didn't buy more  he just shrugged his shoulders and  said it only takes one with the right numbers to win. I don't mess with it. Why should I  when he does it. Its is share and share alike  anyway.

I bought one for today and yeah--I didn't win.

I only buy one once in a while, since the odds are pretty rough, but taking a chance once in a while doesn't hurt!

Didn't even get a single number. I bought one ticket for Friday's drawing last week, one for the drawing yesterday. First lottery tickets I have bought in probably 10 years. Should have saved my $6!

I was going to buy a couple on my way home from work last night. Then I thought, "why would I want to ruin my life?"  And went directly home, instead.

I heard there were a couple people that got 1 million, how do they do that? Do you have to get so many of the numbers right?

I had not played lottery in years. However this week i did get a few tickets. I had one number. Reminded me of why i do not play. Should have kept my money. Back to not playing again.

There has been quite a buzz about this drawing, but I didn't get in the running.  I heard today during my knitting group at church that only one person won and that person hadn't come forth yet, at the time.  Can you imagine having that winning ticket in your pocket, and not knowing that you had won until too late?  There is a deadline for claiming, isn't there?

The person who won is in SC I believe. In he state you don't have to reveal your identity. If I won, I would let the hype die down and then collect the money quietly.

I could be wrong, because I don't buy lottery tickets, but I think you have a year to claim it. You probably need that time to get a couple of lawyers and financial advisors and devise a plan.
