I can do math, not a retard. But someone has to win it right? Why not me? I forgot to play tonight but I play on occasion.

Not to hijack this thread but the estimated jackpot is $334 million annuity, $205 million cash option. If you take the cash option minus federal(39.6%), you're left with 123.82 million. Of that total, you pay whatever tax in the state you've purchased the ticket. Hypothetically speaking, the highest state tax is New York(8.82%), which you're left with about 112.9 million after taxes.

There is this syllogism that I read in a novel once.

Someone wins the lottery.
You have to play to win.
I'm someone.
If I play the lottery then I will win.

It isn't logically sound, but it's still fun to think about being filthy fricking rich. That's worth $2 once a year or so.

So who am I splitting the pot with?

Let me rephrase: With who am I splitting the pot?

Dominos pizza and not tell a soul. Slowly increase spending and attribute it to income increases/lucky investing.

Never live the lifestyle >$300k/year except when throwing fun parties for friends.

yep, up to an estimated $400 million(244.8 cash option).

ETA: at least 4 people matched 5 numbers but missed the PB.
