spjunkies Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 thats unbelievable...I think I would seriously considering changing my identity if I won. I'd most likely have an immediate heart attack if I saw all of my numbers pop up. If I somehow survived that a new identity is for sure in my future.

Would anyone here have a problem shutting them down? No way in hell I'd even entertain conversation with them, especially if we haven't talked in a decade/ever.

SKINS'n'Spurs Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Just bought 11 tix in Cali, not really sure why, haha, just came over me to go buy them, then in line, I was gonna go with my favorite #10, but then figured 1 more won't hurt for good measure. So $11 bucks down the drain won't kill me, and now that the jack pot has gone up another $100 million, INSANE, it's even better (hope and daydreaming wise) This is the best quote from this Wapo story: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/record-540-million-mega-millions-jackpot-has-people-buying-tickets-but-odds-of-winning-long/2012/03/30/gIQA7RObkS_story.html?tid=sm_twitter_washingtonpost "Everett Eahmer, 80, of St. Paul, Minn., said he’s been playing the lottery “since the beginning.” “If I win, the first thing I’m going to do is buy a (Tim) Tebow football shirt, and I’m going to do the Tebow pose,” said Eahmer, who bought five tickets Thursday. “I’m with him in honoring a higher power.”" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bliz Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 Buying one single ticket tomorrow.. My dad always says, "your odds go up exponentially with the first ticket. After that not so much" ---------- Post added March-30th-2012 at 01:26 PM ---------- Would anyone here have a problem shutting them down? No way in hell I'd even entertain conversation with them, especially if we haven't talked in a decade/ever. My rule would pretty much be, you show up to ask/angle/beg, you get cut off. I think the bigger problem is the close family and friends that you want to help, more than the obvious leeches coming out of nowhere. Do too much of that stuff and you can blow through $20-$40M pretty fast I'm sure. $350M though, even with a bunch of hangers on that would be a lot to go through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
