I usually play both anyways. Mega millions/Powerball, Tues/Wed and Fri/Sat most of the time no matter the pot value. People go crazy when the pot gets high. I imagine a lot of people will be playing tonight. :D Record breaking pot tonight. Like to see it grow to a billion. 8-) Hit that baby and you would almost be THE DONALD status in Currency. :lol: :lol: :lol:

I read today that if nobody hits tonight you could buy every combination next week, take cash option and still make millions even after paying taxes. You just have to have around 350 million dollars and pray youre the only one that hits.

If only one would win tonight and chose the cash option on the 900 million purse it is 558 million. I can imagine what it will be the next draw if no one wins. Wow, it will be up there. I wouldn't mind splitting it with 3 or 4 other winners. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good luck to ya, the way I look at it, if it's not the jackpot we could win something. Did you play the power play as well with them? I do all the time.
