At this point, you have 3 hours. Major stores will have lines.

Best bet is to find a shitty convenience store or liquor store. I also went to a kiosk at CVS today cause apparently no one knew it was there and everyone was lined up at the kiosk in the grocery store next door. -
huge NOOB quest: how do i post pics from email? do i have to host somewhere?

absolute worst case scenario is we actually get a jackpot winner who welches. While that would suck there's no real "scam" potential here that I can see.

The us government has figured out a new revenue mechanism. I'm surprise the conspiracy people haven't had theories yet
Kelly Cripe, a spokeswoman for the Texas Lottery Commission, said that as of Tuesday, nationwide sales for the Mega Millions drawing totaled more than $839 million. Officials projected an additional $618.5 million in sales ahead of Friday's drawing, however, for a projected total sales figure of more than $1.46 billion. -
nothing new dolphin, they always raked the shit out of lottery sales but it goes to the school in my state. Then the schools waste the money instead of the government, it's all found money anyway
at least, I'm assuming anyone who posts before the numbers are drawn is in??? -
Edited By: dolphin13 Mar 31st, 2012 at 01:48 AMI just didn't know the rake was that big. I thought it was like 50-60 percent.Originally Posted by littleze

They're getting 1.46 billion but the pot only increased 280 million
Good news is your chance of getting 100k is going up!!!!
DONT PAY ANY ATTENTION TO THIS, MY READING IS BAD
here's new problem though. If they sold 1.46 billion in tickets (lets say multipler accounts for 260 million in sales) then that means there's 1.2 billion tickets out there. with the chances of hitting being 1 in 176 million that means there should be roughly 7 winning tickets sold (could me more, could be less). so the cash option could be 65 million, after taxes you're down to 45 million and you still have to give roughly 3 million to OT.
Everyone still in?? lol -
i think the 1.46 billion is total invested into the jackpot
-
should edit the payout for each member participating to be contingent upon # of winning tickets, i.e. if 7 ppl hit it maybe cuz the payout down to 25k a head or something
anyone know a way way to send from droid/verizon to photobucket? app for it? -
you also have to take in account the money that has rolled over

Here's eagle eyes ticket

Let's hope it doesn't hit so it gets to a billion next tuesday.

So they rake ~60% right off the top, then from the remaining ~40% they give you ~75% of that if you take the lump sum. And last but not least they whack you for nearly 40% tax on what you gross? So from $1.46b paid in over 2 months, the eventual jackpot winner nets about $250-$300m, or ~20% of what was actually collected.
THIS IS AN OUTRAGE -
I would be more than willing to ship EVERYONE who's apart of the team 100k if I won... :) Ship it my way obvi ;)
