Who's got their tickets??

We got 10 numbers w/ megaplier (big spenders we are )

If we win we will have a big shindig & invite everyone from SI!

Aw SandAway, they sold you a fake ticket. You should only have 5 numbers and a Mega Ball. At least you can play with your glitter.

You made me look up the jackpot. With it that high, I'll buy a ticket just for the entertainment value.

We have an office pool going so I entered in that.
I may also grab a few personal tickets when I stop for gas on my way home this evening.

Good luck to us all!

It's a losing bet, even with a $550M jackpot. Income tax kills at least 1/3 of the value and significantly more in a high income tax state, and the time value of money kills a lot more.

The sure way to win tonight is to keep your money.

Of course, almost all of us throw a few bucks away in the course of our lives, and this is a better way of throwing $ away than most.

Hey, guys - I won last night! I had the mega ball + one other number, so I netted $1. Woo hoo!
