As stupid as it sounds, that is going to ruin someone.

I hope 700 people win.

...and I am 250 of them.

How many have a house they grew up in- and would make the current owners an offer they couldn't refuse to let you have it back? I would get my grandmas house in villa del Rey back just because.

By the same token id also bring back sicilys pizza.

The real question is can you legally change your name before claiming the ticket? That way it's just same random name you made up and nobody knows it was you.

So I'm sure this has been done before, but what's the breakdown as far as better to take lump sum and invest vs taking the annuity?

Had a guy in front of me in Kentwood that bought 500 tickets. I thought the machine was gonna run out of paper or ink.

There will be a "bunch" more people buying into a lotto club, in groups of 10-20 or 50, more people playing that have never bought a ticket

Going to drive to TN and pick up a ticket or two tomorrow. Why not. Can't win if you don't have a ticket.

Every possible number will be bought and is usually the case when it gets this high.

That's pretty crazy to dream about. Someone is going to freak the hell out on Saturday.

I wonder what the feeling is like when you read the numbers to a winning ticket. Do you just feel like you've lost your mind?

I can't imagine winning that much money.
