I won the mega millions lottery!!! Well, a piece of it anyways ;)
And i'll take that any day. I believe this marks the very first time i've ever won a non-scratch ticket before (i'm a sucker for those shiny things), and to think i got close to winning the Mega Millions!Like many lottery players out there, i let the computer do the guessing for me. I figure if it's meant to be, it will compute the perfect concoction of figures. It didn't totally work this round, but it got pretty damn close! I *knew* the other day was gonna be different ;)
As you can see frome the picture (that's my actual scanned ticket), i got 2 of the 5 regular numbers correct, AS WELL AS that magical "mega ball" number, thus tripling the amount i won! Niiiiece. And to think that i almost forgot to grab one...i had already changed into my sweats and t-shirt @ home, and it was nearing bed time when i remembered about my glorious plan. Something told me to just suck it up and drive the .8 miles to the beer store - aptly named "Beers and Cheers", and the rest is history!
So now what? Well, in an effort to extend my joy i will be doing two things:
- As promised to AlwaysInStyle, i will be sharing half with her :) I told her in a comment the other day that i'd split my winnings with her just like in that "It Can Happen to You" movie. Sure i didn't hit the big times (yet) but what's fair is far - So congrats girl! And holler so i can paypal it over.
- And with the other $5, i bought 5 MORE tickets! haha...yeah i know it breaks the cardinal rule of stopping when you're ahead, but my damn it's just SO FUN! I mean, big rewards require big risks, right? I'm on a roll here and i'll keep on going until i lose it all ;) It'll be the best $1 i ever spent.

Awesome that you followed through and got your lotto ticket. Sounds like something I would talk about doing and never actually do.
I love the instant gratification of scratch off tickets, I know the others can pay more but you have to keep it and track it etc.
Enjoy basking in the glory of following your own advice!
I love that you're splitting it! :)
Good luck with the second round of tickets! :)
Congrats on your winnings! That's incredible? I would keep playing... everyday... who knows you could win $20!
Congratulations!
My favorite scratchy is the 649 ones. I think its a one in two odds that you'll win something. They rock!
Budgets dude, you are way too cool but I couldn't possibly accept a dime. Thanks so much for thinking of me, you put a huge smile on my face so that's payment enough :-)
Coincidentally I hit the same combo (2 # & MB) about 8 years ago so I understand the feeling. ENJOY IT!!!!!!
Thanks guys, all that basking wore me out! haha...but the next drawing is tonight so we shall see what happens.
And you can't get out that easily miss Always in Style ;) Since you won't accept it, i will now be buying 5 MORE tickets with the money on your behalf. Maybe you're my lucky charm?
All i know is, i'm prepared to take this crazy train all the way to the land of riches!
Congrats!!!
excellent! here's hoping you double your winnings.
yeah so...i lost it all....all 10 of them :( but it was one helluva good time! haha
LOL. Crazy Train - great tune!
