surprised this thread hasnt come up yet. This is probably the only time you'll ever actually get the right pot odds to buy a ticket.
so if you win 125 mill what are you doing with it?

Buying my own house with a poker room
Going on holiday
Helping out my friends and family
Saving for the future
Probably become a lazy so-and-so that doesn't work or go to college - a lady of leisure would so suit me!
I'd want to do something special with my money but I'm not sure yet, wouldnt just write a cheque to a charity, would want to help in a better way than that.

What are the odds of winning?
Plus, is it really good odds? Does winning it mean you are more likely to share because more poepl are playering?
I know nothing about this, just curious.

£1.50 a ticket, £125 million jackpot (+ other prizes, and jackpot distributed to lower prizes if not won (i think!)), odds of jackpot are about 76million to 1 i think.

Do you think it's dangerous to have Busby Berkeley dreams?

personally the sheer weight of guilt of having that much would mean I'd have to set something up where by the 100 mill went to good causes. the 25 mill would be a hand bankroll hey, see you at the WSOP

terrible  If the jackpot isnt won tonight, I believe they are divvying it up down the levels a bit more Tonight really is the night to do it if you are going to do it |

I thought this was the last rollover & if not won outright next week it was proportioned out....

I'm not playing as it's so top heavy surly a flatter structure will attract more ticket sales.
