    Just bought a ticket.

    1 in 175,000,000 chance of winning?

    I like my chances.

    I'm predicting like 8 people share the jackpot tonight. Thus, the actual winnings of each individual won't be all that special when you think about one person winning a medium sized jackpot.

    That's still $80,000,000 per person.....if that's not special, I don't know what is.

    If the jackpot were 80 million and one person won it, would there be all of this media hype? Would we have threads on ClutchFans for 80 million dollar jackpots?

    I can imagine the hilarity if your 1 ticket wins
    Then to watch you inform your coworkers!

    I hope you did not make the run to get the tickets

    Haha, nah. I'm glad that arduous task wasn't assigned to me. Luckily all the tickets have been bought and compiled in Excel, so they can't blame me for holding out :grin:

    I figure they can't be bought online from reliable sources...and you have to be a US resident, right?

    I put the $10 I would have wasted on the tix into my own personal lottery fund. Just like I have done thousands of times before and thousands of times after this.

    Savings + interest + compounding + time = $$$$

    Boring I know....but the money will be there tomorrow. The lotto money won't.

    it's a freaking game..everyone knows they have a close to zero chance of winning. but people play for the fun of it.

    so what you risked 5 bucks in hopes of winning millions?? how many dollars does people waste a month on cokes?

    what's next..people are going to say wrestling is fake?
