Nobody won and now the sucker is going over 1 billion, estimated to be a 1.3 Billion dollar annuity jackpot by the drawing.

I predict a lot of gas station clerks are going to be calling out sick.

Why? Because everybody and their mother will be lining up for a shot at a billion dollars?

How good would it be for that money to go to charity?

Or at the very least, half of it. >:oP

Yeah. That'd be really great. But in reality, it won't. It'll be used for greed purpose

The UK just had an ongoing rollover on our lottery. They put a cap on it though. It was meant to cap out at £5.5 million on saturday, meaning someone would win this week, even if they didn't have all 6 numbers, but because of the increase in sales, the end total was £6.6 million. 2 people won.

Its actualy been shown that requiring money to go to charity kills lottery.

If I win, I'm disappearing. Probably about half would go to charity, over time, for tax purposes if nothing else.

It was 1.4 Billion when I bought my ticket, but it's gone up again. Last I saw was 1.5.

A millionaire, a redneck, and a retiree.

All three winners are the ultimate lottery stereotype.

I am none of those, so does that mean I shouldn't play?
