Yes. I purchased $20 worth in an office pool. Here's hoping!
All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.

I bought tickets this morning.
Read my social stuff!
The ramblings of an oldish geezer on Facebook.
@SnorbESnorb on Twitter. The "E" stands for "Everything."
Play my games!
The ArrrPG - A game I made about being a pirate. This be a first draft, matey! Though it plays just fine, clap yer eyes on th' eventual Revised an' Expanded Edition and you'll be pleased, by thunder!
Nakama: A Card Game of Magical Girls - A completely un-playtested card game about being a magical girl.
Well, excuse me while I defy all laws of logic and common sense and do it anyway.

While there's nothing wrong with indulging in the fantasy a bit, any individual has a 1 in 282 million chance of winning, IIRC. You have a better chance of simultaneously being struck by lightning and a meteor.

The 3 winning tickets were sold in Calif., Tennessee, and Florida!
8 tickets were winners for $2 million each.
73 tickets were winners for $1 million each!
Congrats to all those winners and all other winners!
I would have been happy with winning a million, or less!!
Oh well, it was fun playing, and there is always a chance next time.
