A system 8 ticket is 8!/7! = 8 games with winning numbers in it, by 2, so 16 games that won for you @$14.30 each = $228.80. Sound right????

Note 8! = 8x7x6x5x4x3x2x1

auto pick tickets, and only about $5 tickets.

usually if people pick their own numbers they use birthdays, but that stops at 31 (days in month) and the lotto numbers go up to 40 odd (i think)

i used to buy megapicks every now and then, but got jack of buying a $30 ticket and not winning.

but i still haven't won anything major, and hardly win anything minor either

Think it's because of the publicity and suddenly everyone will want to be their best friend? Or maybe because a group of people joined in together and bought hundreds or thousands of tickets to increase their chance in winning? I guess there are heaps of possibilities....hmm.... Well, whatever the reason the winner is now!

3 winners (from Maryland, Illinois and Kansas) are going to share the MegaMillions lottery. Each will win $462 million after taxes, their share of the
$640 million jackpot.

Actually they'll split the $462million. A bit over $150million each is a decent sum of money.
