    My issue with this is the utter stupidity of most people. By that I mean, there was polling done to see if people wanted insane odds of winning a huge amout or the possibility of more people winning a share of a huge pot. The polling showed people wanted a huge pot with fewer winners. I would think a thousand winners splitting 1.2 Billion would get people to think about odds. But, alas the people that can not name their senators, know who we fought in WWII want impossible odds as their way to financial comfort.

    Ya just can't fix stupid. If $10,000,000.00 bucks can't make you secure $1,200,000,000.00 is not going to help much with your thinking processes.

    Oh, I will buy one ticket, I will just skip lunch to buy it and spend the same as I do every day.

    After giving away a mobile home in my mobile home park more than once... the public always wanted more. After i decided whom qualified with a mob of folks outside... I announced... then someone spoke up.... what other ones can we have? Never fails folks expect more. In reality we have more than we need. IF I were to win most of the money would go to charity.

    One could not spend that much money wisely but i would die trying. I will most likely lose that same amount in the next drawing.🤑

    I did see a few days ago the owner of a chicken fast food place bought 50K in tickets and said if one of them wins he will split between all the employees . nice offer

    here is a link to the first post I found when searching

    Raising Cane's founder buys lottery tickets for all 50k employees
    The Mega Millions jackpot has reached $810 million after not crowning a winner since April.

    wonder if he will repeat the same deal now

    Why bother being wise with a BILLION dollars? LOL. I could have a LOT of fun and help a lot of people too. Would be a nice problem trying to figure out how to get it in an insured bank account(s)

    my son is a math proffessor at WVU, he had some other proffessors over once for a cookout we were at and they got to talking about the odds of winning the lottery and each was giving their own reason and how high the odds were and I walked over and said " I don't know what you are argueing about the odds are 50/50 , you will either win or lose " should have seen the looks I got from that bunch of math genuises...........

    No way in Hell I'd want to win that much, the publicity alone would kill the average person, that is if some person didn't. I'm happy just being me 😊.

    Now over a Carl Sagan.

    Well maybe only a half a Sagan - after all his quote was billions and billions!😁

    Still, nothing to sneeze at and I'll probably succumb to greed and buy a ticket. The chances of winning may be on the miniscule side of slim, but are nonexistent if I don't play. If I win the beer is on me, but only the inexpensive domestic stuff because I have been accused of being on the frugal side of cheap. Hey, it's the thought that counts! Bob

    Met a man and his wife a few years ago. General conversation, I asked them what brought them to this area. Looking for a home where the bums might not find them, ie, family, cousins, charities and rank strangers. They had won one of the Virginia lotteries right after it had started.

    I read an article about loss of tax revenue in the VA, one area in specific. The bean counters figured it out. Folks were buying lottery tickets instead of " taxable goods". Go figure and remember it is for the children.

    I have been given thought on what I would do if I were to win this much money, as it would change one’s life for sure. My plan would be, spend the first half on wine woman and song, and the other half foolishly.

    I reckon if I won I could make that pittance work.

    Not pizzing in the punch but the feds and state will take about half of it plus taxes after you take the lump sum but till a tidy amount and yea, I got one maybe two tickets already and I could set up my family if the dollar stays stable, big if.

    I'd spend most of it on booze and women and blow the remainder on a bass boat.

    As I have mentioned a few times over the years- I was the beneficiary of the Florida State Lottery.

    I received a Florida Lottery scholarship available for combat veterans that paid my college tuition for both my bachelors and masters degree.

    In that sense and the profound impact that gift has had on my life, you could say I believe I have already won the lottery once.

    So if you buy a ticket, there is a chance some of your funds might just flow down to a good cause.

    My youngest daughter benefited from 6 yrs of college (oldest daughter missed out due to the lotto not being in Georgia prior to 1994), also my 2 grandsons, 1 grand-daughter have been educated with dollars others scraped for and are already planning for more schooling. Lotto's work great for those that know the systems main purpose, not so much for the unknowing people. As Warbird say's he's already a winner as we are. Keep playing people 😊
