How Big Does The Jackpot Have to Be?

I normally don’t buy lottery tickets but for some reason that record setting – Mega Millions Jackpot has be stopping by the quick-mart to get ’em.  Just so you know – you’ve gotta

buy your ticket before tomorrow’s numbers come down if you wanna win that…

$1.6 Billion dollars!

(I suggest you take the cash payout of 904 million bucks…but that’s just me).

I would normally say that buying lottery tickets is a waste of money….because you’ve only got a 1 in 302 million chance of winning that mega millions jackpot tomorrow.  BUT…if the jackpot gets high enough…the princess and I will buy a ticket.  For some reason – we’re in if the Jackpot gets to 500 million.

Don’t ask what our logic is…because I don’t know.  Perhaps it’s because driving down to the lottery office to pick up just 20 million seems like a waste of time?  Once the Powerball was over $500mil, so I told the princess to grab a ticket but, she grabbed the Mega Millions, which was only $25mil at the time.

These words actually came out of my mouth: “What?! 25 million! That’s NOTHING!”

How big does the Jackpot have to be – before you buy a lottery tickets?
