The Mega Millions jackpot has reached an estimated $1.35 billion –
the second-largest in the lottery’s history – after no winner snagged
the big prize in Tuesday night’s drawing, officials said.

That’s a boost from Tuesday’s jackpot of $1.1 billion, which saw
no tickets match all six winning numbers of 7, 13, 14, 15, 18 and
the Mega Ball 9.

While no ticket matched the jackpot drawing, 16 won the game’s
second-tier prize taking home up to $3 million.

It is obscene to offer the money to anyone but Zelenskyyyyy.

He’ll track down whoever eventually wins it and demand a few hundred million.

My plan has always been to go on a very long around the world cruise. I would see the world again and by the time it was over the hoopla would have subsided. I believe the QE2 used to that, it took a year.

Is it even worth it?

I’d be happy with 400 million or so if I could
get into seclusion. That would be necessary.

Someone I know seriously said he’d take his winnings to the casinos and be a high roller. I’m thinking... not for long. A fool and his money, as they say.

Hopefully he doesn’t win.

I would relax on the beach having fresh fish and fresh fruit daily.
Exercise, get some sun, do some reading, hang with some ladies…

“The heck with the 12-pack. I win, I’m getting the 18-pack of eggs.”

You better win twice then.

This town is so small, everyone would know I won before I knew I won.
