1. Knew I shouldn't have played

2. Better get a lawyer first change your name and

move far away.

3. So sad that the best the USA has to offer is a gamble

A country where the best that citizens can expect is based on chance.

Lots of people spending their limited resources so one individual can win big and need to go into hiding.

4. I think it's wonderful

It gives people hope for two bucks. Hopefully that person in illinois uses it wisely.

5. Wish it had been a thousand people winning a million apiece.

Unless, of course, the billion dollar winner is a relative of mine.

7. yeah, I wish more than one person had won.

6. I didn't even try

I already am struggling mightily and it would be an infinitesimally small chance of winning.
