Todays Mega Millions Lotto - biggest EVER

[firestorm420]

Tonights Mega Millions numbers just came in - its the biggest jackpot ever estimated at 640 million !!!!!!!

the numbers are

46 23 38 4 2 megaball 23

This was the first time Ive ever bought a lotto ticket and I got 2 of the 5 right, and got the mega ball right!!! I won $10 !    my favorite number 23 came through for me.. twice!! random 38 did once too. n I thought i picked the 46, but I had picked 47 otherwise I woulda gotten $150 owell tho I still won something!
I seriously thought about buying the megaplier multiplier for 1 extra buck but didnt.. it came out a 3x and I woulda had $30  but owell I turned $1 into $10! Im happy with that!

They say the odds of winning are 1 in 176million, but thats the jackpot only, the odds of winning anything are actualy 1 in 40! for what i hit on (2/5 and 1/1) the odds were 1 in 844.
Here are the full odds and prizes in case your wondering:

Normal ball          Mega ball
 (pool of 56)         (pool of 42)
                                       
5                        1                   jackpot  -  1 in 175,711,536
5                        0                  $250,000 - 1 in 3,904,701
4                        1                  $10,000   - 1 in 689,065
4                        0                  $150       - 1 in 15,313
3                        1                  $150       - 1 in 13, 781
2                        1                  $10         - 1 in 844
3                        0                  $7           - 1 in 306
1                        1                  $3           - 1 in 141
0                        1                  $2           - 1 in 74.8
(1-0 and 2-0 are nothing    )
Overall probabilities: 1 in 306.11 for winning at least a $10 prize, 1 in 40 for winning any prize. - even though the best individual odds ($2) is 1 in 74.8 the overall offs are better because it factors in all possible ways to win

There is at least 1 winner so far, from maryland, and it was not me.

and the winning number is supposed to be in Maryland. Glad I didn't buy a ticket...waste of money on my part, but winning the lotto is wishful thinking

I've never played the lottery, seeing as I just recently turned 18, but my friend was talking about it tonight. I might give it a try if this goes on any longer. The money's so tempting...

There is a real happy and lucky person living in Maryland right now, that won the Mega Millions Jackpot.

I live in Las Vegas and we do not have lottery, never makes sense to me that we can bet on just about anything but cant buy lottery tickets here.

That because the state makes it money from the strip

Shockingly I didn't win. Now I'll have to cancel my Lamborghini order. If I qualify for a few more surveys, maybe I'll keep it.

I didn't win either, I only got one number on the 5 tickets that I played and it wasn't one of the mega *bleep*.

I have not bought a lottery ticket, but for this thought "why not". I didn't even come close!! I only got two numbers and they were on separate tickets, lol. But my brother got three of the numbers and that worked out really well for him. I looked at the odds also and heard on the radio you are more likely to DIE in a car accident driving out to buy the lottery ticket than you are likely to win. Unfortunately, I did not win, but I am happy I did not die while buying the ticket.

I read this morning there are three people who won, so congratulations to them. I bet their heads are still spinning right now!!!

All those crazy odds that your more likely to die or get struck by lighting ect ect are for the jackpot only, you have much better odds at winning a non jackpot prize and making a profit, although not millions lol. I won $10, the odds were not too bad on that at all really.

And I just saw that 3 people won, in Maryland Illinoise and Kansas

we were in a couple of lotto pools and got zilch

I should've played but I didn't get the chance to. Yea it might not be such a smart idea to do so but if you don't play you won't win. I do agree that the odds are kinda against you so if you don't have any money to spare you probably shouldn't be playing.
