Who among us lives in a Mega Millions state? at 340 Million, the cash option would still be above 200 million. � I'll definitely buy a new house and leave the current hot tub with the house.

I once was part of a group of 13 who played a lotto pool each week. One week the jackpot was $36 million. �We had the first 5 numbers and the 6th number was 47, we had 46. �So close.

Useally the cash option is about half the jackpot, sometimes a little less. Jackpot at $340 mill, cash option $170 mill, $120 mill take home after taxes. Not a bad chunk of change.

I do not live in a mega-million state but right across the border. I have my tickets for Tuesday's drawing

Bill,
Yeah, I bought a few tickets when it was at 267MM. Guess I'll buy a few tickets this time, too.
Sure is a lot of $$$... I guess I'd have to buy a hot tub for the bathroom - upstairs and downstairs!

I'm with you. We have Powerball and I only buy when the pot is $100 million. Otherwise I may be buying tickest all the time.

I'd design a house complete with a bat cave and secret entrance.

Count me a resident of a mega millions sate and proud to say I have never bought a ticket. I am just waiting for a good friend to win and throw me some money.

About 20 of us at the PD went in 5 bucks each. If we hit, Gahanna's gonna be one lawless town.

The time when I worked at CompuServe and we just missed, the CEO stopped me in the hall and said, " I heard you nearly wiped out 3 departments." I thought I was about to be fired, but he held out his hand and said, "Better luck next time" After that everyone wanted in our group. I even got calls from our SF branch wanting in.

No known winners yet, I won't check my tickets until after work.

I think they said one in New Jersey, and one in Georgia on the news this morning
