playing as a group? I know lottery is for suckers, but 600 mill is well worth a dollar. Wining it all by yourself can happen, It happened to my neighbor years ago. good luck

Yeah groups, everyone puts in five bucks. Then with all the money u buy tickets. the tickets are then photocopied and the names of who put in are written on the copy's. It's a common thing people do alot of the winners are groups like this.

The government loves when old people win. Closer to them getting to steal half of it in estate taxes (one of the most insulting and bullshit taxes there is).

I've only played lottery once since coming to Texas 15 years ago and with the dollar I spent then I won 32 bucks. That was back in 1999.

I just spent 10 bucks on this one, so hopefully my lucky streak continues.

I only put $5 on it. Will any of us win? Probably not, but it's fun thinking about what you would do if you did.

It's their own fault for letting it get to that point. There's plenty of ways to lower it.
