We'll Be Getting MegaMillions Tickets Far and Wide

It is always fun when we travel across several states and either the MegaMillions or Powerball happen to be going strong and we can buy tickets in multiple states. Not that it ever makes any difference buying tickets like that. I used to do it all the time when I traveled for work before I retired and I was lucky if I ever won my money back. But it's fun to think that if you can play in multiple states, it increases your chances even if that's not true at all. Looks like, unless someone wins the MegaMillions before we go to Sanford, Florida, it will be that one since someone just won the Powerball recently. Tuesday's MegaMillions is worth $575 million right now, and if no one wins on Tuesday, it should be around $600 million. Will a little bolt of lucky strike us on our trip, or should I expect lightning instead?

Well if I was into the lottery, I would look for a streak of luck or go on a million $ mission, which I have found the later 1 works when I am looking for something that I can't find & out of the blue it shows up.

@porwest Well let me see if I can make it understandable for you when I was looking for a certain thing I kept it on my mind everyday & after about a few wks of looking & having it on my mind while I was out paying bills I stopped in a thrift store & out of the blue there it sit like a flashing light at me what was it? a salad spinner that I couldn't find anywhere, & it was like it was meant to be for me to find it.

Good luck! Hope you win something. If you buy a ticket in a state you don’t live in do you have to go back to that state to cash your winnings?

I believe millions will be hoping for the same luck, but who knows - you could be the one in a million.
