In reply to the discussion: Mega Millions jackpot now $1.1 billion, nation's 3rd largest (are YOU buying tickets?) [View all]Leith
(7,818 posts)8. I'm not buying a ticket
because it is about a 2 hour drive one-way to get to the nearest lottery outlet in CA and more than that to get to AZ. Add to that would be an even longer wait in line in the heat to get in the place and buy them (in California or another hour or so to get to the next outlet which would also have a long line).
It's ridiculous that Nevada doesn't do the lottery.
I'll just have to hope that one of my siblings gets the winning ticket and is feeling generous.

Hardly worth it. After taxes, it is only $620 million. You can't even start your own space program

I found a nickel in the park yesterday so it must be a sign I'm coming into $$$$ (Mega Millions)!

Spent $10 and won $2. That's it for playing the lottery for another several years.
