Texas Lottery Approves Mega Millions ChangesReply

But my opinion is of little value as I am sure the lure of big JPs will win out which is OK. I am fortunate enough to live in an area that borders a Power ball state so I shall just put that extra into power ball rather than Mega Millions

$112 million lottery ticket sold in Rowlett, TexasReply

I am one of those people. $10 million, or even $4.65 million, is a tremendous amount of money that would put you in charge of your own life and let you do what you want when you want if you are fiscally sane. To put it in perspective, most people would agree that someone making $100,000 a year is well off and making a lot of money. You would have to work 100 years at $100,000 a year to make $10 million. And yet some people scoff at a small jackpot? How much money do you have in the bank?Quote

i would make it 5/55+1/50. that makes it especially hard for the jackpot to be hit, making for huge jackpots.
