Poor bugger.
I’m hoping the winner is a conservative gun owning MAGA FReeper.
You and me, both.
I had purchased 5, but alas won nothing. Awesome thing in SC is you can come forward anonymously as well.
Not anymore.
I would have liked to see that win go to 3-4 people.
I'm hoping the winner is an illegal alien and the name is announced prior to election day.
Lol. Well crap,guess I better cancel the order on the Gulfstream.
On the bright side, this will save me $2 this week.
I live in South Carolina. I bought MegaMillions tickets. Seeya Suckers, I’m gonna call my new pals Warren Buffett and Mike Bloomberg for some investment advice....
Oh, wait. I didn’t match anything. Better get ready for work.
I never bought a ticket but there used to be an office pool.
The gambling maven left and no one seems interested.
It wouldn’t surprise me if she won.
I hope it’s not my lefty, lawyer son-in-law.
Same here. I don’t do lottery but I went ahead and bought a ticket last week and this week. Guess it will be another 30 years or so.
My dad played us six kids’ birthday days for years. Never won a thing.
My wife however worked at convenient stores and used to do a bit of card counting with scratch offs. She didn’t keep an exact count but would notice no one coming back to cash in a $20-50-100 ticket for the whole day so she’d buy a handful and usually did pretty good.
Winner life is ruined from now on. Hide and watch, wait and see. The person will be lucky to stay alive within the next ten years and anyone who knows him/her will DEMAND money.
Always cracks me up how people get all spooled up when the lottery gets really big....like possibly winning just a few million any other time isn’t good enough. Never understood that. I mean really, how much money does a person need in a lifetime anyway? People, I wonder about ‘em sometimes.
Whoever that person is, they groped me 36 years ago, in High School. I feared they would accidentally kill me.
I have no corroborating witnesses and I talk in a baby-voice.

Yes, you’re right. I will testify to that.
I’m reminded of something Spock said in an old Star Trek episode:
“After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true.”
I can’t even imagine what that’s like.
