biggrin almost my entire work went in on the mega millions
There is a total of 34 employees ( shop & office ) and 31 went in on the Mega Millions. $5 each for a total of 78 tickets ( we rounded up and one guy threw in the extra dollar)

Those three will be quite lonely if we win.


I know the odds aren't good but I figure it's a 50/50 chance.
You either win or your don't

I spent $20 on 10 quick picks... can't win if you don't have a ticket.

Nope. Me. I will then immediately seek the woman in your avatar, and if she's still all that we will reach an agreement of some sort.

Just got back from grabbing one. The guy that bought it tried to catch me, but I run fast for an old fat guy. No hair to slow me down.

Same same. I played the lotto twice in my life, both times for $ 5 a pop. I didn't win. I figured it out back then, I wouldn't win, so why play?

When I was 15, my dad was out of work from back surgery and wearing a brace and we went shopping to buy something very small for my mom. It was Christmas and we were running thin in our house. I had $2.00 in my pocket and I bought two lottery tickets. I won my $2.00 back. The woman in the booth asked if I wanted two more tickets or the $2.00. I asked if she could split it. I took $1.00 and one ticket. I scratched that ticked and won $10,000.00. After taxes it was about $8200.00 and it could not have come at a better time. I bought a 10-speed and some school clothes and gave the rest to my parents. That was about 1975. That's almost $50k in today's money.
