$220 Million US Mega Millions Jackpot, February 19, 2008
This group is spending $14 US and combining forces with a US based group to buy tickets for the Mega Millions draw on Feb 19, 2008. This is the largest Mega Millions jackpot since the Aug 31, 2007 draw. This group has 1 share ($5) in the GLC Regular group and 9 shares ($9) in the GLC Flex group.
After the last draw, the share value was $0.068 US. The cost to join or purchase additonal shares must be in multiples of $1.10 CDN.
The following shares were added to the group:
Keith Ballantyne bought 5 shares for $0.34
Ron Plomp bought 6 shares for $0.41
Mario Festival bought 16 shares for $1.14
Chelaka Abeyasinghe bought 88 shares for $6
A total of $7.89 was added to the group to bring the balance to $14 US.
Normally I do not allow extra shares to be added to a temporary group such that the value of the original shares are diluted. An exception is made for the Mega Millions groups since we combine with the GLC groups and I have no control on how many shares there are in total for a given draw.
A total of 140 tickets were bought for the draw. We won $0.25 as per our 12.5% share of the GLC Regular Group and $0.45 as per our 9% share of the GLC Flex Group. Our total win was $0.70.
$275 Million US Mega Millions Jackpot, February 22, 2008
