If you won this record jackpot twice - before taxes you would almost have enough to fund obama phones for a year.

Just think of all the brotha's you could help out enable more than you unwillingly do already!

There is no point going overboard and getting crazy about it.

I play one box with the numbers I want and then the second box with numbers that are + or - 1 to 3 from the numbers in the first box.

Ah? Eh? Ah- Ha! Ah-Ha-Ha-Ha!!

If God wants me to win it He’ll arrange it no matter what I do or don’t do, so I don’t bother buying tickets.

OTOH, I do tell him that if He does arrange it, then I’ll pay a double tithe on it. So far, no ticket has anonymously showed up.

[MaxMax]

Yep. My dreams are full of having a Diner in the hill country.
Winning would help me there, and three tickets for that chance.

Maybe if people didn't over analyze they might find the excitement of possibility refreshing.

[voteNRA]

If a ticket I buy ever comes up - the family is coming out West towards you Applegate in low-tax country!

Good to see you by the way, its been a while!

[ApplegateRanch]

It sure has, but not because I haven’t been here; just haven’t crossed thread-paths for awhile. Best to you & the family.

[iowamark]

Millions of losers but two big winners.

Thank you Applegate, you have incoming mail

[QBFimi]

Sorry, guys - it’s a tax on stupidity. Knock yourselves out.

[wideminded]

The odds of winning the Lottery are the same as getting hit by lightning seven days in a row.

Actually you had a higher chance of winning last night's lottery than being hit twice by lightning in a year.

[Sacajaweau]

I’d rather see 500 smaller pot winners. This is stupid.

[Safetgiver]

nobody talks about what happens to winning tickets not turned in.....It’s amazing how many are thrown away, lost, misplaced,etc. Point in case: As a cop, one of our officers was called to a house where the dead old man was suspected of being beaten up and robbed (he died a painful natural death but tore himself and the house up doing it). While looking in a dresser drawer which had been torn out and scattered on the floor, he found lottery tickets in the sock drawer that were three years old and expired. One was found out by relatives of the deceased to be a $500,000 winner!

[AZLiberty]

You can’t lose if you don’t play.

[oblomov]

I win a dollar every week.

[wideminded]

The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math.

For many people their life would be a million times better if they won $550 million and only 0.01% worse if they lost $2. It's not so clear that buying a single ticket is a bad investment.

[Fresh Wind]

The best thing about the lottery is when poor people win it, and they become poor again within a year or two.

And all their new friends are gone within a year or two as well.

[Donnafrflorida]

I bought one last night. first ticket i bought in a year.

[Future Snake Eater]

The odds of winning the Lottery are the same as getting hit by lightning seven days in a row.

And, yet, people do win.

[panaxanax]

Check this out.

I did ‘win’ a Million $$ prize here. I only had to play 2 games a week for 6,341 years and spent over 2,000,000.00 to get it. Lots of fun, though.
