Paging Vivi....

Also, there's a new (free?) Person to person paying service called zelle.

2 of my Banks offer it

If you guys win, I'll sell you a batch of my homemade chocolate chip cookies for $50k.

and a good thing about Megamillions is the 'Just the Jackpot' option (if your state offers it).
2 tix for $3
you either win the top prize or nothing.

much easier to check winning tickets

jackpot odds are 1:302,575,350. if you buy a JtJ ticket you'd need ~$450MM jackpot for your expected value to go over 1 to 1 (not factoring taxes, lump sum penalty, or odds of multiple winners), so good buy on those tickets.

looks like other tickets are still garbage because all your value is derived from the jackpot:
