Who fancies their chances at winning $500,000,000 in the MegaMillions draw then?

I'll probably get $5 worth of tickets. Even though I am not expecting to win, the odds do increase when you actually buy a ticket!

Yup we'll buy about $5 worth too. It's worth a try at least

Thats just an obscene amount to win.

Count me in for 10$ worth of tickets

You wouldn't catch ME falling for that.. I'm in this queue for cigarettes, yes, that's it!!!

Are you sure that's all?

Four of us bought 40 tickets. That's $10 I'll never see again...

Can someone tell me where/how to play - used to do UK lottery but have never done it over here - don't want to look like a noob!!

And may the odds be forever in your favour....

Go to a gas station and ask for easy picks on that lottery.

Most gas stations or grocery stores sell tickets. If you haven't specific numbers that you want to choose, just say $5 on Megamilions Quickpicks for 5 lines of numbers, the machine will choose the 5 numbers and the megaball for each line, then they may ask if you want to play the megaplier which is 2, 3 or 4 which is another $1 per line which multiplies whatever you may win (not if you win the jackpot though).

Good luck everyone!

I was going to buy tickets a couple of days ago, but wondered if you had to be a citizen to claim, are residents allowed?

Any legal resident is allowed. In fact, I think you can buy tickets if you're a visitor, as long as it's all above board!

Just don't try to leave the country with half a billion dollars!

Anyone over 18 - I remember reading about an illegal immigrant from Guatemala in Houston a few weeks ago who was allowed to claim his $750k.

... "What would you do if you won?" - Run for President.

the odds are what now, 175M:1 ?!?!

Jackpot is now $540 Million! I think at least 50 people should win it as it is far too much money for one person to handle!

Thanks

I seem to remember seeing something on the news last year about Canadians coming across to buy tickets
