ILUVAdrianaLima Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 For those who do play the lotto or those just interested on mind numbing amounts of cash I woke up this morning to find out that our countries Mega Millions multi-state lottery has grown to a ridiculous $540 million (and growing) jackpot. At the current frenzy pace of ticket sales it's expected for the final jackpot to grow past the $600 million mark, worlds largest to date even without this new increment. The drawing is to be held today and for those holding all winning 6 numbers - of course one only has to pass the 1 in 175 million odds first, final winnings for those who choose the one time lump-sum pay off will take home a nice cool $390 million said and done. Just to give some prospective on the purchasing power that kind of money can do: With $390 million dollars one can purchase... 781,563 iPad's Chicago Bulls Franchise and still have change to spare. 109 million Big Macs (hold the fries please) Bit of advise though...don't spend all your money in one place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrico_sw Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 I'd like to know what is the record.... of people's losses. The price of one ticket depends on the number of round, but it's usually around €10 in Europe. Let's say you play during 20 years without winning... Then it's around €75,000 that get burnt... You can buy a Jaguar car with this money or a Tesla (if you are the electric type). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enrico_sw Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 ^ I didn't know that... do we get tax credits when we lose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchkiki Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Nope But if you win 640 millions it's all yours! The highest jackpot at the Euromillion was 190 millions and it has been won 3 days ago... not by me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
