What would you guys predict the overall jackpot would be if no one won it for Friday's drawing?

I think the last time it went from $363M -> $540M.

My guess is it would go to $850M+

Odds are that every possible number combination will be bought this round, so someone will get it.
 
Meh, dropped a buck and got a single random pick. With $540m on the line it would be stupid NOT to get one. 😛
 
I remember when lines used to be around the block when the lotto got up over $100M, and machines would break, and people would start rioting. Now it hits $540M and you'd never know.

Are there just that many more lotto machines out there?
 
I bought $5 worth from a lottery terminal machine that you feed in money and it gives you winning tickets 🙂 ...now its time to decide what warm island I want to buy
 
Based on ticket purchase projections, there is around an 11% chance that no one will win, we expect 2.25 winning numbers, so 2 or 3 winning numbers.

Except that we do know... personally I've heard about it everywhere. From the internet, work, radio, every time you walk into a gas station, etc.

i been thinking about this though. i am nto sure what the fuck i would do with so much money. heh im sure my ex wife and her family would be calling!

the news mentioned youw ould get $320mil after everything. so put 300mill in to live off interest and blow the 20 mill.

...the numbers just blow me away.


first thing im buying? a delux fleshlight!
 
Fuck it, got in on an office pool that is buying 250 tickets and I'll buy 5 myself. I know the 250 tickets doesnt increase the chances but damn i'd feel like an ass in the off chance they won and I was the lone asshole that didnt get in on the action.
