If a winner is not drawn tonight, the jackpot will climb to nearly $975 million.

State lottery commissions love people like you.

So what do you spend your disposable income on?

Well see a corporation step in and buy all the numbers and pray no one else wins

As long as you're not blowing your grocery money on tickets it's a perfectly fine investment. If you win, well that's ing awesome. If you lose then for the price of a few bucks you've had the chance to dream about what you'd do with a fortune dropped in your lap with a dash of hope mixed in for a few hours. Harmless escapism and cheaper than a movie ticket.

So in TX the take home after taxes would be mid-300M, I don't think the 168M calculation earlier was correct.

[DPG21920]

Also if someone wins don't start screaming or broadcast it; people would definitely kill for that type of money...

oh, only 300m? nvm then

[DPG21920]

Of course you would need a lawyer and such but as far as it being taxed there is only the federal tax for TX

[Slutter McGee]

I can't believe all you stupid people wasting your hard earned money on an almost impossible chance to win big.

And yes, I put in 15 bucks...ten in an 80 ticket pool, and five for my greedy self.

Sincerely,

Really? No winner?

It's hysterical that it might be close to a billion dollars.

By the way, I spent $10 and got ONE right (3 x).
