[QUOTE=The freeman;35365615]Oh wow, the Georgia Lottery site went down for a while[/QUOTE] All of them are.
Guys.... I didn't win.
If no one wins it's going to break 1 billion easily. It'll be around 975mill or so I hear just at the base estimate from these sales, once people flood in to get some'dat then it'll go through the roof.

My family didn't buy any tickets, but if I did win the lotto, I'd build a massive swimming pool. I'd then put all my leftover money (in the form of $1 bills) in the pool and swim. Anybody could just walk up and take some cash if they needed it.
Welp I'm not the winner.

[QUOTE=HolyCrusade;35365686]Not exactly true, because tickets become void after each drawing[/QUOTE] They're void for subsequent drawings.
[QUOTE=HolyCrusade;35365686]Not exactly true, because tickets become void after each drawing[/QUOTE] That was for this round of the drawing. They are estimating that americans spent 1.5 billion dollars this round to enter this drawing. That means there are 1.5 billion tickets/entries
So wait, if nobody wins then all tickets are un-useable after every drawing? or am i missing something
but this is a number i am hearing being thrown about alot right now so im just speculating on the actual amount of money was spent on tickets for THIS drawing.
[QUOTE=Pepsi-cola;35344139]I'd leave England.[/QUOTE] So would everyone else :v:
[QUOTE=The freeman;35365712]So wait, if nobody wins then all tickets are un-useable after every drawing? or am i missing something[/QUOTE] If you got a ticket and don't realize you won, you have some amount of time to come forward. If you don't then you're screwed. The tickets are only valid for the drawing date on it.
Since it's all computerized I'd imagine the Megamillions folks would know instantly whether or not the balls matched someones ticket. Whether or not that person calls in the claim is their own responsibility.
[QUOTE=The freeman;35365712]So wait, if nobody wins then all tickets are un-useable after every drawing? or am i missing something[/QUOTE] Yes that is normal. You got to rebuy for the next drawing and every new drawing regardless if the jackpot is won.
[QUOTE=faze;35365718]If you got a ticket and don't realize you won, you have some amount of time to come forward. If you don't then you're screwed.[/QUOTE] 180 days.
[QUOTE=OvB;35365719]Since it's all computerized I'd imagine the Megamillions folks would know instantly whether or not the balls matched someones ticket. Whether or not that person calls in the claim is their own responsibility.[/QUOTE] Well they got to pull in data from all the states and they want to keep that number a secret for atleast a few hours after they do the query
Guy I won! Nothing... damn it

[QUOTE=faze;35365869]I won (negative) $40 dollars.[/QUOTE] Think of it as a donation to your state education department.
