    I bet I could Photoshop up some winning tickets pretty quick myself.

    Kansas station claiming a winner...wow, they better be right. A station in Charlotte said there were NO winners FOR SURE. As soon as I tweeted them for proof, the took down the post.

    This is like the JoePa dying night all over again. Idiots!

    Hmm, I basing it on figuring the combinations for a Pick 6 at the horse track. I probably did it wrong.

    I thought it was (56x56x56x56x56)x46.

    Scanning Twitter, it looks like the official station of the Mega Millions sent something out (not sure if it was on Twitter, Facebook or where) saying something like "There is no winner Friday, Tuesday's jackpot will be $975 million." What they MEANT to send out was "IF there is no winner Friday, Tuesday's jackpot will be $975 million." Least, looking at several tweets, that's what I'm gathering happened, and some places picked up on it.

    Best tweet I have seen: If the Mega Millions winner is from Kansas most of the money will be donated to Santorum & Westboro Baptist and the rest blown on meth.

    Not to thread jack, but how is retiring a selfish act? In actuality, NOT retiring when you've earned that right and are able is the selfish act. You're taking a job that someone else could have and rubbing it in the face of people who prefer their life to work.
