Sorry, my office has already claimed it and we are trying to figure out taxes right now. All we have to do now is buy the winning ticket.

I don't understand why any of you would think that you had a chance.
How can you possibly win without a ticket?
I'm pretty sure my wife has bought all there is to buy.

Cuz it's the easiest way to turn $1 into $500,000,000. Just buy a ticket... it's that easy. Yes! I got this in the bag.

from the durango bill site in my above post. Is intersesting. He points out that if you drive 1 mile to a store to buy a lottery ticket and 1 mile back, you are 6 times more likely to be killed buying your lottery ticket than you do of winning. corrolaries - if everyone on average drives 2 miles round trip to buy their ticket, this lottery drawing will kill 6 people.

Up to 640 mil. WOW They said on CNN that there is only less than 5% chance there will be no winners. If no winner I am sure the pot will be 1 billion dollars...

I bought 3. I know a few people that bought hundreds.
Jeeeeeesus.

I never ever play the lottery. Figure I work to hard for my money, but for some reason(had extra cash in the pocket) I bought $15 worth. I joke about the fact that if I win I'd quit my real job, but I'd keep on scrappin. Really like my boss.

Stopped at the local c. store where my wife works today. Had about 800 or so folks standing in line to buy lotto tickets. Had 2 bucks cash in my pocket. Figured what the heck. Then them ol hunger pangs hit. Seen the Nachos cost 2 bucks. Well, so much for my chances at winning this lotto.

Well i didn't hit it. BUT...a winning ticket was sold less than 20 minutes from my house.
My mother seems to think it is a lady she works with because she has tried to call her a few times and nothing. It is cool when it hits close to home though.

They got only 3 winners; 1 in Kansas, 1 in southern Illinois, and 1 out east somewhere. I missed the last state on the news.
