Friday's Mega Millions Lotto is 1/4 BILLION Dollars
 

Buy your tickets! Estimated drawing is $250,000,000.00 and if no one wins Friday next Tuesday's drawing we will be pushing the US record for largest lotto prize of $314.9 million dollars won by Andrew Whittaker of West Virginia. Imagine if no one wins for a couple of weeks. This could get massive.

i guesss that means i didnt win last night :(

Ha ha. I hear what you're saying, but is $250m not already massive? :)

that's a fortune.. wow

Even if you took straight cash (bigger tax) on a 250m prize your still immensly rich. Anywhere to buy tickets online? Just for the heck of it might buy a ticket or to

Damn, someone's gonna end up very lucky indeed.


I never win shit... :(

wow thats nuts

imagine if one of us GFYers wins

No, It is huge but we may set a new record soon for the largest US lotto jackpot. They said when California joined into Mega Millions the lotto could push 500 million every now and then. Looks like it may pretty soon. :thumbsup

http://www.lotteryuniverse.com/ looks interesting

I think its my turn to finally win. I have never even come close to winning a decent jackpoint, which is why its just not worth the time until it gets over $100MM

Matt

I've been buying tickets to win that jackpot already. I think that now that it's up to $250 million, I'll really have to buy a big pile of tickets.

holy friggin moly

I wouldn't even bother buying a ticket for $250m ;p

wait a minute can anyone who lives in the US win the lottery including non citizens? (resident aliens)

If you have the winning ticket you win. You do not have to even live in the US.

just bought 5 tickets :)

Ugh... who would want to win $250 million? Think about the taxes... jesus.

Just max out your RRSP contribution for the year and you will be fine. LOL.

Besides, lottery winnings are tax free in Canada. I might have to buy a ticket!

I have just bought a couple of tickets for this weeks Euro Lottery. Jackpot sitting at £51 million. At least ours is tax free.

If you win they will take taxes out in the US when you claim your prize but I wouldn't mind paying the taxes and taking what is left. :thumbsup

If you take the cash option, that is about half of that, then the government takes half, but 62 million is not a bad return on a $5.00 investment. ;)

I just bought 3 tickets. :)

I got 3 numbers last night.

Grrrrr.

44, 52, 30.

THe U.S government takes half of that $250million in taxes?!? Damn talk about greedy...
What`s the other option? Other than straight cash?
And what if the winner is outside the U.S?

Jeez. Burning 188 million is more fun then giving it away to the government and tax offices.

Hope this formats ok - I'd go lump sum for sure!

Nope, won't format but at the end of 26 years (taking a lump sum, after taxes and spending 14 million on stuff and putting 60 million in the bank - you'll have 136 million in savings

10 Big Game ticket cards for the 16 Sep 2005 draw = US$50.00
service fee = US$75.00

not worth it.

Can't wait to see which toothless loser, old fart, or stiff couple win this time.

i will send u a dollar....u get one....if it wins will split it...... :winkwink:

Seriously, it's always the midwest fuckos that "wont change anything" after they get the check. I'LL CHANGE EVERYTHING! I'M RICH, BIATCH!

Take it over the years ...

Here people don't get taxed on lotto
