Quote, originally posted by NJ Lottery »BIG Mega Millions News!Bigger Jackpots, More Often!On June 22, 2005, California will be the newest state to join the Mega Millions family! The addition of California, the most populous state in the country, means faster-growing jackpots which will climb to record levels much quicker! Plus, with California coming aboard, jackpots will start at $12 million!And, the excitement is even BIGGER than welcoming California to our multi-state lottery – to mark the event, Mega Millions Second and Third Prizes are also getting bigger! For winners matching 5 white balls, the prize will be an amazing $250,000. For those who match 4 white balls and the Mega ball, the current prize will be doubling to $10,000!There is also a change taking place to the Mega Millions matrix. Players will select 5 white balls from a field of 1 to 56 and a Mega Ball from a field of 1 to 46. This matrix change drops the overall odds of winning down to 1 in 40! The price of a Mega Millions bet will remain at $1.00 and Mega Millions drawings will continue to be held Tuesdays and Fridays at 11:00 PM Eastern Standard Time.Don't let these MEGA changes pass you by…play for the BIGGEST jackpots! sweeeeeeet! Bigger jackpots, smaller odds. I like that.

Cool... a tax on the dumb and greedy. You have a better chance of dieing in a car wreck on your way to buy a lottery ticket than ever winning.

tonight's drawing is for one quarter billion dollarsI guess I am dumb and greedy, but then again I only spend on the lottery the gas money I have saved by having a 5 speed instead of an automatic.

Well then in that case, I would be able to afford to mod my Vibe, then maybe buy five other cars and mod them too! All the while saving a portion of that jackpot to buy a house and saving the remaining portion in savings!Well you know how they say, in order to win you must play. I need to go buy me a ticket!
