I guess this means a Democrat will win.

Well now this is a somewhat odd thing to happen on the night or day of the midterms. Almost like foreshadowing.

They better unscrew themselves fast or people will lose confidence in the honesty of the lottery.

I thought at first this must be a mislabeled election parody.

I thought the drawing was Wednesday. Don’t tell me I missed it. Last drawing I got 3 numbers right. 2 more I would have won 2nd prize of a million.

Maybe they are doing it to see how the public reacts when they do the same to the election results. “The results have been delayed because we need to count how many fake ballots we need”

$929.1 Million cash payout, freakin’ insane. Every person you ever knew would suddenly become your best friend for life. Twenty years ago I won 2nd prize in Mega-lotto which back then was $175,000, I took home $110,000 after taxes. EVEN with that amount I had friends, even co-workers I barely knew asking me for money or money to invest in a business. I eventually put it towards a house thank God.

I am thinking they may not actually have the money.

Although, last night I dreamt I bought a ticket. I did not in reality, but what an incredibly odd dream.

Couple that with the lunar eclipse too.

There was a substantial delay the last time the jackpot hit a billion.
Seems like the larger the jackpot, the longer the delay.
I wonder why the need to explain it this time.

Pre-programming so their delay until they can “fix” the elections will seem more normal.

They are saying it is a security issue at the state level?

Probably someone in Illinois trying to rig it. Drawing has been delayed three times this year due to security
