So, it turns out there was another billion-dollar jackpot for Mega Millions. Actually, it was for Xmas Eve, but it jumped up to $1 Billion right before the drawing. Nobody won so now it is up to $1.15 Billion ($516.10 Million cash option, which almost every potential winner would take - as 30 years is a long time for a payout).
i would kind of like to win this (and be the sole winner), though the way i estimate is is probably on the low side - use 30% of the cash option, though i hear it could be as high as 75%. i could use $153 million, though it would be a nightmare to get and set up checking/savings/investment accounts (fiscal logistics).
Reminder, in April, the cost of Mega Millions tickets will be going up to $5 a ticket. i hated the increase to $2. Needless to say, i will be buying fewer tickets. The proposed changes suck and are not worth the increased cost. At that price, the jackpot would have to be over $1 Billion for me to even buy a ticket.
i like to buy tickets for Friday the 13ths (one in 2025), birthday, Halloween, Xmas, New Years, before Black Friday, or sometimes when i feel like crap.
