I do... but I didn't win. @JerrySTL does... but I don't think he would drive to Des Plaines Il to buy a ticket. That's a least a one way 4 hour drive for a $2 ticket. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Road Runner Posted July 31, 2022 Share #16 Posted July 31, 2022 I don't get the huge jackpot thing. Instead of one person winning 1.3 billion, why not set it up so there are multiple winners? With that much money to give away, wouldn't it be better if a thousand people won a million or a hundred people won 10 million? No one needs 1.3 billion. That's obscene. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razors Edge ★ Posted July 31, 2022 Share #17 Posted July 31, 2022 Definitely wasn't me. Somewhere in Illinois, a person has gone into hiding (if they know what's good for them)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like “teacher of the month” goodie baskets from a tutoring company. They are filled with useful items, branded with their company logo for promotion, and a Starbucks card. I would give the card to a friend who drives to work, and I would distributed the stuff into other teachers mailboxes. I did keep a 6-inch ruler, though. Very handy. Gave away t-shirts, other gift cards, but I won a chapstick as a door prize once. I didn’t give it away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody need to win more than 50 million. The big jackpots obviously drive ticket sales though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be a better lure if you knew your chances of winning 10 million were 100 times higher than if the prize was 1 billion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even a 50 million win is hard to grasp. 10 million is more relatable. However it depends on the age of the winner. 50 million to someone in their late 20's is different than someone in their 70's. Provided the young person lives long enough. In reflection, I wonder if anyone I knew well, would go nuts/into addiction on something after winning megamillions. Or they would lead basically same life except for a nicer home, car(s) and a couple more trips plus a vacation home overseas. Fund children's education, etc. I'm not saying my family and friends lack being dreamers. Maybe just cautious in how money is spent /invested and whose advice they would take.
