Good Waste Of $20

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.

    • Such a dumb pick and most of us knew it Ladd would’ve been the perfect match with Bryce But instead they draft XL to fill the void at the X spot because we had a 34 year old Adam Thielen. Then a year later we draft a real X WR and move XL inside where he has absolutely no business being for a list of reasons
    • My logic was hopefully a new HC would have a LOT quicker hook for Bryce. But, that is assuming they would even be allowed. I guess that's a call to the owner's box for permission.
    • I’m not overly defending the pick. I was team Stroud by a country mile but I also knew what to expect as far as ceiling goes with Bryce  I had concerns with Bryce’s arm strength and size. Neither seem to overly be an issue. He’s proven to throw with enough anticipation that he makes up for a lack of velocity. I was worried about the way he played in college not translating to the league. Spending 8 seconds behind LOS. I did also think it would take Young a few years for him to reach his full potential. I also think he’s too smart and accurate to flat out bust which all of seems to be pretty accurate Bryce is someone you can absolutely win with. No one thought he’d be the type to carry a well below average supporting cast to a Super Bowl. He’s fully capable of giving you those 4-5 special plays a game that help your team win. And then you have those rare times where he’s the reason you win like in Atlanta.  All good teams have more than just a QB.  Even the teams that are winning this year all have a lot more than what we have. Supporting cast/defense… more than what we have  As far as Morgan goes I 100% agree. Fwiw he was legit team Bryce during the draft process. I know that for a fact. Last years draft is a complete write off. This past draft still up for debate. TMac and Scourton look solid. I can’t remember the last time I saw Princely win a rep and I’m being honest. Ransom has a little value. I think ETN is a nice insurance add. Evans could be a TE2.    I think this offseason Morgan will get aggressive with trying to land a pass rusher. Whether that’s a trade for Crosby, signing Hendrickson, it’s going to be top priority. We need a ILB. I really like Kaden Ellis. Sonny Styles should be in our draft range. We also need a tight end and it would be interesting to see this offseason with Kenyon Sadiq
