No, I'm waiting until it's worth it. If you consider taxes, converting it to a lump sum, the odds of winning the big prize, the $2 ticket price, and the chances of wining one of those smaller prizes I think it works out that the jackpot would have to be around $1,200,000,000 before its worth buying a ticket. Less than that and you are looking at casino odds where they always favor the house in the longterm. Someone else ran those numbers, I did not check them.

Too bad they can't give one million to 900 people.
I always thought it would be cool to have a state paycheck lottery. Every week someone who gets a pay check would have a chance to get a million dollars. The money could be held out weekly as a state tax, and the excess could go to what ever department needs it the worse, conservation, schools, roads, etc.
Of course, some less populated states may not even have a million people who get a paycheck.
Just a pipe dream........

I just joined a pool at our gym. I figured I could afford to lose $10.

I don't need the money, so I never play. Can't even imagine what a person would do with all that money...it would be a pure pain in the backside to try and get rid of it all before it drove you insane.

with that much being divided up i would be willing to take it over the 30 years. i'd put it in some sort of trust fund to only distribute so much to me & dh during each year for living expenses & certain home improvement projects. i remember a few years ago a couple won a large lottery & stayed anonymous by setting up 2 trust funds-King & Queen i think they called them. i wonder how well that worked out for them.
