    LOL! A tax on the mathematically challenged.

    Good luck with it though. It'd make one heck of a part time job.

    Only if you consider it your retirement plan. The only guaranty is if you don't play you can't win. For the couple of buck I spent I won't lose any sleep over it. I figure on going to work on Monday but wouldn't it be nice if I could pick up the phone and say "I won't be in today....or any other day."

    Agreed on that Finster! I have plenty of hobbies to keep me busy. Work just pays for it and takes away valuable time…

    My Dad was always quoting "A fool and his money are soon departed!"

    Well call me a FOOL then . . . we don't usually buy lottery tickets . . .but what the heck . . . for this I'm willing to gamble on a couple of tickets. You go in to it knowing full well that you aren't going to win . . . but then again . . . there's always that one chance! LOL Like's been said . . . you can't win if you don't play!

    Now . .. . tomorrow . . . instead of calling me a FOOL . . . you can call me a FOOLISH LOSER!

    Everybody fantasies about what they'd do if they won . . . I just think about all the good a person could do with those winnings . . . establish scholarships for kids who can't afford to go to school, donations to food pantries, giving a helping hand to some that really work hard but are having a hard time making it, etc.

    I've heard the lottery called a tax on the stupid. It's like anything else if you don't have the money don't do it. I play once in a blue moon but there are folks who spend money they shouldn't trying to win a fortune. Heck I started this thread for fun not to get philosophical!

    I'm in. I would like to win just to see if I could live on a budget.

    There is no problem so great, that it cannot be solved by the proper application of high explosives.

    even if you won you couldn't afford the Obama care payments and you'd still have to go to work.

    If I win I'll probably die in some other country likely with no extradition treaty.

    Lottery winners do not usually turn out well. Gift and a curse usually rules the day.

    If you don't gamble, you won't loose, and that's a sure bet.

    If I won, I'd buy a 3rd world country.

    At 1.3 billion dollars over the next 30 years I could afford a tax attorney and an accountant to keep me from going bankrupt in the next 3-5 years. It is part of my investment for retirement strategy. Not a large part, just a part.

    Dang, I knew I forgot to do something today. And I was out and about too. I hope nobody wins, it'll go over $1B for sure.

    Spent $2 on it, got 2 numbers. Same as always. My luck is so bad, I could spend $100 on it and get a $3 winner and think I won!
