Cash option is $360,000,000.

The old NY Lotto ad claimed "You gotta be in it to win."


So how many of you stoners are gonna dream big and drop a few bucks on the off chance that it's your ticket that wins?

The odds are 175,000,000 to 1 for hitting the main prize and so if you covered every number you'd still clear $325,000,000 which an Australian consortium decided to do quite a few years ago when the odds were much lower & prize had risen to $200,000,000.

To play, pick five numbers from 1 to 56 (the white balls) plus one more number – the Mega Ball® – from 1 to 46 (the red balls). You win the jackpot if you match all five white balls plus the Mega Ball.

Who's got some lucky numbers to share?


The following 43 states (plus the US Virgin Islands) are enrolled in the Mega Millions Lotto:

Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, Washington D.C., West Virginia, Wisconsin and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

which means you guys in Alaska have an awfully long walk to the corner store to play the game, hope you have friends & family to buy some for you. On 2nd thought what in the fuck would you do w/500 million in Alaska anyways? NOKUY?

you could literally buy anything under the sun including the new Boeing 747-8 @ $336,000,000 but a nice Citation jet might be more practical for weekend runs to paradise.

I can only hope and it would be a pisser if someone from the site here hits it big.......

Let it go Krunch.

I got the winner in my wallet right now.

I've got a 600+ acre ranch in CO I've had my eye on, and this house in Maui looks good too.

Can you imagine how long it would take to buy 175,000,000 lotto tickets? You'd need a whole lot of folks to help you with that one. Could you imagine the look on the face of the guy at your local store that sells lottery tickets if you walked in with a few suitcases full of money and said "I'd like to buy 175 Million tickets please." :)

They say that the lottery is a tax on stupid people but I'm not so sure. Someone wins big every couple of weeks.

234 after a 35% govt. tax.



If I am not mistaken, the money is gone if you die.

You could do just as well, sticking the money in a low risk investment, and living off the interest.

lottery winnings are completely (what would be the word?) will-able to heirs but I believe that if on the yearly payment schedule that upon a death the remaining principal would need to be paid out by Lotto so the heirs could collect and the estate closed in a timely manner.

and hell yeah, any low risk investment yielding even 1% on 234M would be equal to about 45 thousand a week to spend, life might actually get boring after a few years.
