Only problem is having to share with some other pesky winner(s) and of course finding a 7/11 that can handle my $176M transaction. Wouldn't be surprised to see Goldman or BoA getting in on this =P
There is a guy in Idaho that was trying to do this...problem is you can't do it with the quickpick option so you have to manually fill out paper tickets for each number you play. You can play 5 numbers per ticket so you need 35,200,000 tickets to play every number. They figured if one person was filling them out continually with no breaks it would take them 28 years.
