So the mega millions is at 500 million for Friday's drawing. When it gets high like this, I HAVE to play.... I usually get $3 or $5 bucks worth and let the machine pick the numbers.

So when do you guys decide it's time to try for a big jackpot, and how much do you usually spend for tickets on each draw? Do you let the machine pick for you, or do you have a set of numbers you play all the time?

... and if you won, what would be the first 10 things you'd do with the money?
