I don't think its paranoid to be a little worried about being robbed after winning half a billion dollars.

especially the way the media is whipping this drawing up into a frenzy.

people who never play are playing, people who have NO IDEA what to do with this kind of money.

I heard some woman on the radio this morning "we'll get a new van and my husband can retire."

...really? You win ~$300mil. after tax and your goals are a VAN?

It'll probably go to some 89 year old that's never bought a ticket before. It always does.

True, but I definitely wouldn't wilfully give up any extra information about myself to them. I'm sure they'd find their ways

Can someone just volunteer for the witness protection program?

I've never bought a ticket, but I just did!

If I won I definitely wouldn't let all the info about me go public. That just makes you a target.

Not sure of the math (6 factorial something..?) + something for the megaball, but thats what I heard...

Gotta get 5 #'s out of a pool from 1-56 balls
AND the MEGABALL # out of a pool of 1-46 balls

You could have an infinite amount of tickets sold, and still not have a winner. Though if you have every combination sold you will have at least 1 winner.

$462 Million Cash out option.... lets say taxes = 50% on that.. You walk home with 231 Million give or take a few million....

I sure hope who ever wins does something "GOOD" with the money would love to see people who are in need get helped.

jumped 100 mil in a day

if you bought 50 tickets, you have an equal amount of odds of being hit by lightning. since i have 80 tickets, then my odds of winning the lottery are better than getting struck by lightning!

your odds are almost as good as just finding a winning ticket laying on the ground!

Is it give, or take? I don't want to come up short.
