    That's insane. And 1.3B is only the initial estimate. Odds are it'll climb past 1.5B.

    It's nice to dream for a few more days anyway. Just don't go crazy spending money on tickets. Your odds are virtually the same whether you buy one ticket, or 250.

    The big problem is that now I have to slink into my boss's office tomorrow AM, and retract the awesome "I quit" speech that I gave on Friday....

    I never play the lottery. This had me thinking it wouldn't hurt to buy a couple tickets.

    I didn't buy my tickets for Yesterday's drawing. The jackpot wasn't big enough for me yet. :lolol:

    They really should make it so you can collect your winnings anonymously, a lot of peoples lives are actually ruined by winning the lottery. Cant imagine what a billion dollars would draw out of the woodworks.

    So, I wonder. Say one of us were to win that prize, and we decided we wanted season tickets. Even though we aren't on the waiting list, could we get them? I guess we could buy the PSL, but what about the tickets? Would the current season ticket holder still hold the rights to the tickets?

    I don't know how it all works. But I'm sure you could make an offer someone can't refuse. ;)

    (Or just get a sky box)

    Season tickets? Hell just buy the whole blasted NFL and put Burflict, Brady and Goodell on a canoe out to sea.

    Edit: Make that a deflated dinghy out to sea!
