I`m surprised you didn`t win, the odds were only 177 million to 1 (the same as they are every time, no matter how many people play, no matter how big the jackpot, no matter how many weeks since a winner).

My advice: save your lottery money and use it for detailing supplies.

EDIT: I always say you have a better chance of getting hit by lightning than you do of winning the Power Ball/Mega Millions...turns out it`s MUCH better: NWS Lightning Safety: Understanding Lightning Introduction (http://www.lightningsafety.noaa.gov/odds.htm)

EDIT EDIT: Oh, excuse me, they changed the game last year, and the odds are now different--they are MUCH WORSE: Mega Millions (http://www.megamillions.com/how-to-play)

Your odds of getting hit by lightning are more than 100 times better than winning the Mega Millions jackpot. Isn`t it funny that you go through your life never thinking you could get hit by lightning, but every week millions of people buy lottery tickets hoping they are going to win?

Agree on the odds. BUT...Point being SOMEONE always beats the odds. ALWAYS. Do you think they are sorry they played?

Well, that sentiment is what keeps people buying lottery tickets and going to casinos. I`ll pass. I`d rather waste my money on detailing products!
