I would have to drive a bit over two hours to buy a ticket. Either Georgia or Tennessee.

They sell them all over here at home. Theres a store less than 5 minutes away that sells them. Got up and checked em earlier. Only matched 1 number out of all of em.  Usually dont even get that close.

AMEN brother.

Same here. They changed us to conceal carry without a permit also. I keep my permit just for the heck of it. Makes it easier if I want to make a purchase. Dont have to go through back ground checks.

I may be in the ticket pool. I’ll be in Pittsburgh all next week.

Looks like there was one jackpot winner in Florida, and a few "millionaires" elsewhere. There will always be a next time.

I suppose the take home after all taxes will be about 600,000,000.

Then there is the question of remain anonymous or not.  (where every hard-luck friend or relative will suddenly come out of the proverbial "woodwork")

More money, more problems.  Some states do not allow anonymity. Mine, N.Y. does.  One thing for sure:  I will lose my Federally-subsidized senior housing. How would you feel knowing the multi-millionaire living next door pays only $257. in rent?  A few years back, one winner showed up to claim his prize wearing a paper bag over his head with two holes cut out for his eyes. His only comment was, "No comment," before dashing out the doors. Luckily for him, he had a common name much like John Smith.  🤣

I don't know what other states' local rules are, but in New York they state, among other things, "This ticket is a bearer instrument," and "A valid ticket is required to claim a prize."

If any of you all ever hit it and need a place to lay low, your more than welcome to come hide out at my place.
