I'm sure Rossman has it under control.
now I'm curious.
Why did you get a 877 #?
and how much are you paying per month?

just did the tally, we are not millionaires, but we had fun, and we can now make fun of RossMan forever!
RossMan will still go scan them to see if we hit anything, but first glance looks like no.
Are we at least dollaraires? Please tell me we at least got a few duckets!
I saw one $5 winner

Sooooooo we got the numbers. Funny story, RossMan/7-11 might have screwed up, or really did us a solid, and the last 4 tickets are 10 draws a ticket. It's an honest mistake, so make sure you make fun of him . Not everyone is used to getting almost $900 in tickets.
But to business, can you guys enter the numbers as we used to here:

Aww. Well thanks for organizing this Vivi, Ross. Maybe we'll get lucky and get to do this again next week.update 7-8-2016 10:40P CST

Dear AT 84,
Here's what happened. We visited a grocery store which only sold lottery tickets at their automated kiosk. There was a single kiosk machine with a queue, when it was my turn I inserted $100 then tried to insert the remaining $780 but it would only accept $100 at a time max, OK I can handle that. Selected MegaMillions, no Megaplier, but it only let me buy 10 at a time. $10, $20, $30, $40, $50, $60, $70, $80, $90 then $100 which took a while and we were getting stared down.
I figured there must be a better way, maybe a convenience store and have a person do it. Visited a 7 Eleven and told the clerk I want $780 worth individual MegaMillions, single draw, tonights drawing and no Megaplier. The clerk was noticeably nervous because of the amount of tickets. After the first $200 sheet was printed I questioned them about it and she said it's legit and was printed correctly. Right then and there I should have questioned it or visited another store. They printed another $200, $200 and $180 totaling $780.
After getting home I still wasn't sure and asked Vivi to call me immediately before uploading the pics. It was an honest mistake (on the part of the clueless clerk) which will never happen again. Next time I'll use the kiosk or visit another store where they have competent employees. I'll throw $100 of my own money into the next MegaMillions pool.
I'll check the tickets tomorrow and will report the results here. I'm going to watch some TiVo and a RedBox rental now, I should be up for another 3 hours. If you have any questions, please feel free to PM or call me at 1-877-829-0370. After going to sleep the number will be disabled then re-enabled tomorrow afternoon.
Grand Nagus, I am very disappointed in you. I think we need to have a talk about demoting you; perhaps a year at Liquidator will help you find your lobes for business once again. In the meantime, have a root beer, get some Oo-mox, and remember that tomorrow is another chance to earn a profit. Rule of Acquisition #10 (and maybe #112 for good measure).Dear AT 84,

In all seriousness, stuff happens, and I think you've more than proven yourself over the years that this was an honest mistake on your part. I don't doubt that it's one that will indeed never happen again, and knowing you, I'm sure you're beating yourself up over this plenty enough on your own. In the meantime I guess we all have incentive to watch the MegaMillions jackpot over the next month and a half.
But just to do a teensy tiny bit of armchair quarterbacking though, maybe we shouldn't wait until the last possible moment next time? Buy the tickets several hours in advance, or heck, the night before. Given that we angled to buy nearly 1000 lines (100 tickets), we're kind of a printer hog.

3 20x10 tickets and 1 20x9 ticket. So we have 60 numbers that will run for another 9 drawings (10 in total), and 20 numbers that will run for another 8 drawings (9 in total).So we have tickets that are for 10 draws? How many lines for each draw?
We still have the potential to swim in golden coins, right?
Oh you will be. We have to give you a chance to redeem yourself.Duly noted and agreed. In the future if I'm chosen to purchase tickets, they will be the correct denomination and purchased in advance.
Not so fast. We're not done for another 5 weeks.Anyway I'm glad there was a jackpot winner and this is over, until it happens again.
