so is it just a dollar each, or do you have to do the super thing for an extra buck?

Just a dollar. The extra money is for multipliers. So if you got all five numbers but not the Mega Ball, you win $250,000, but if you have multipliers you can win up to a million. The multipliers have no effect on the jackpot.

I went out this morning at 7:00AM and got tickets for our gang. Then I had to go get groceries, so I got some for myself. (If I win, do you think they will go along with me telling them those were my tickets alone?)

I got them both way. With the Megaplier and regular.

The guy at FoodLion heard that people In New York City, are waiting in line an hour to get tickets. That's just crazy!

I posted ealier that there was a jackpot limit on if you caould take a lump sum. ( I believe that is with Power Ball.)

This is the largest lottery jackpot in world history. The cash option is $462 million, also a world record.

Mega Millions tickets cost $1 each. Players select five out of 56 numbers, then select one out of 46 for the Mega Ball number. Players can also pay an extra $1 for a Megaplier that multiplies winnings, excluding the jackpot, up to four times the original amount.

I just got wood!

Just WASTED $100 on tickets. Thank God I'm rich.

You have a long way to go to match these guys.

Ticket holders have about a one in 176 million chance of winning that $540 million Mega Millions jackpot, according to Larry Brown Sports, but some pro athletes are still trying to up their chances of supplementing their already sizable bank accounts. Washington Wizards rookie forward Chris Singleton tweeted that he was planning to spend $10,000 on tickets and that he's "dedicated to making more money." Of course he's only making a little less than $1.5 million this year so who can blame him for wanting more? Meanwhile, Oakland Raiders safety Michael Huff tweets that he spent $2,400 on the lottery in the hopes of supplementing his $32 million contract. C'mon, dudes, leave some for the rest!

For sure. If I had athlete money and played I'd buy more if I wanted to play. I only play the lottery once a year when the jackpot is massive. I guess $100 to me is like $10,000 to them haha.

My wife is picking them up now. First time I've ever played as well. We're doing 10 randomly generated, 10 we pick ourselves. She said she heard something on the news this morning about the odds are greater for you to win if you pick your own numbers now because the jackpot is so high the chances of the winning ticket being randomly generated is much smaller... Doesn't make much sense to me, but whatever...

BTW, how are people in NY, DC, and Cali. playing the Mega Millions if it's NC's Lottery? Forgive me if that's a stupid question, but I thought you had to buy the tickets in NC to be eligible to win our lottery.

technically if you had 176 million dollars laying around, you could buy every number combination and win and come out a little ahead after taxes..

Jerry Richardson, I need a loan....

But then if two or three other people hit too, you are fuged.

Lol. MM isn't NC's lottery.

Like here in CA we have CA super lotto and then MM which is played with damn near every other state in America.

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks seem to be Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team). Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?
