Who's playing?? So exciting!! I feel like passing out just thinking about $540 million although of course you don't get it all. But if you're the sole winner, that would still be faint-worthy.
-
We're totally picking up a ticket! (it's not too late, right?!)
-
@chopsuey119: nope, drawing is Friday at 11 pm EST!!!
-
I've never bought a lottery ticket (only the scratch ticket kind) but I think I'll go for it this time around.
I work at a bank and some funny guy did a research report this morning showing that based on the odds and the value of the winning, the expected value of a $1 ticket is close to $2... so why not : )
-
@Andrea: okay!! i hope we win! HAHAHA
-
@chopsuey119: yes, we can be the two winners. i don't mind splitting it with you. HAHAHAHA.
-
@Andrea: lol! dang. i'd be happy with just 10 mil
-
@chopsuey119: after taxes right? but not before taxes! haha, i am feeling greedy.
-
I heard you have better odds when you play on a day when it isn't this big. I'll probably get one. Isn't it $5 a ticket, though?
-
I think Friday's jackpot is 500 million now. I've been playing the last couple of weeks. My office has been playing twice a week as well w/ everyone putting in $5. It's starting to get expensive so I hope someone wins, preferably me
@bluestriped bee: It's only $1 to play.
-
I very rarely buy a ticket but my office started a pool so I contributed $5. I saw that they just increased the estimate to $540 million which is incredible and definitely faint-worthy!
-
DH bought a ticket, and then we decided that I would FOR SURE go into an early labor if we won. Dare to dream:)
-
@bpcmarj: haha, that is cute!!!
-
I heard about this on the radio earlier. I am thinking about buying a ticket. I never play the lottery though. I don't like gambling!
-
My department is buying a ticket together and I bought some for DH and I. I also bought tickets for the NY lottery since most people are buying up Mega Millions. All I really need is $1M. I don't think that's too much to ask for.
-
@mrsjazz: "I don't think that is too much to ask for" - LOL! You are so modest, only asking for $1 mil!
And yes, I am going to buy a ticket. Or 10. But it seems like when it's this big, the people that win are the ones that do pools and buy hundreds of tickets. Maybe we should do a Hellobee pool?!
-
PS: How do you decide what numbers to play?!
-
@daniellemybelle: i always do random draw!
-
I’m buying a ticket on my way home tonight (if they sell them in my state? Don’t know how many states are in on this lotto). I would totally faint if I won!
-
@daniellemybelle: Ha! Yes, I am very modest.
But imagine if someone gave 540 people $1million--it could be life changing. @yoursilverlining: Here are the states: http://www.megamillions.com/whereto/
I didn't realize it was so many!
-
My mom made me buy tickets last night. Apparently in Filipino culture preggies are lucky.
-
We're gonna buy a few tickets. We do every time the jackpot goes up to these crazy amounts. Every time I go through the whole "what would I do if we won?" and prepare myself to cut myself off from the whole world except family and close friends. Haha. I don't really believe in gambling but when it gets all hyped up like this, I can't help but join in the fun!
-
DH and i are both in office pools. when the pie is this big, even a little slice would be pretty awesome.
-
My hubby's work has a few pools going and I just pitched in to one of those. I am tempted to buy a few of my own tickets as well though
-
@bluestriped bee: I think your odds are always the same to win but the odds of having to share a jackpot of this size goes up by a lot because you have so many more people playing!
Holy moly, it is already up to $540mm? That just shows how many people have bought tickets in the past day or so!!
-
My hubby said the line was so long for the tix lol.. I told him to play!
-
We're buying tickets. I know its a long shot, but wow, would it be wonderful to win!
-
when hubs gets off work we're going up to 7-11 to buy a couple! why not, right? 500 million would be pretty nice.
-
My coworker is taking me to a bodega after work to buy tickets. I've only done it once before and I won $7, so here's to hoping!
-
@mediagirl: oh, yeah. That does make sense. Thanks.
-
Ok, just bought my ticket.
I thought the drawing was at 11am EST and I thought that I could find out if I was a millionaire at the beginning of my day but then I just looked it's at 11pm.
-
I bought my ticket
Hope that one of us on HB wins -
Did you hear? The jackpot is now $640 million. If no one wins tonight, it will jump to $975 million! That's a whole lot of money!!
-
We get in together and buy tickets at work...fingers crossed!
-
How many tickets are ya'll buying? DH bought us 2 last night but that is NOT ENOUGH. I think I'm going to go buy 10 more after work tonight.
...I feel like talking about this is jinxing me. I WANT TO WIN.
-
damn!!! We bought a total of 10 tickets... wouldn't it be crazy if someone on HB won?? hehe.
-
i'm going to win it all
-
I bought 15 for myself and we chipped in $5 each in my department for a total of 30 plays.
-
I went in with $1 ticket at work and have gotten 4 $1 tickets for us and 4 $5 tickets for us too.
I never play so with it being pay day I don't feel bad spending $25 on that kind of money! -
If no one wins tonight, the jackpot could go over $1 billion!!!!!! Ok, there is no way that one person is going to take this. Too huge!!!
