Then don't play and increase my odds.

On friday you go outside and get struck by lightning and I will go buy a lottery ticket. And if we both "win" we will see who will be in a better mood afterwards.

I mean the odds of someone getting hurt and shooting themselves as much as you have are pretty high, but your odds seem good for that.

Someone has to win the ****er, might as well give it a go.

lol, great photo.

I just go back from the store and there was about 10 people in line to buy a lotto ticket. If no one wins this one I wonder how high the next will be? Perhaps?

It's been pretty ridiculous. I've been buying about 10 dollars each time. I've been hitting mega numbers so I get back $2 or $3. it turns back into reinvestment anyways.

At this point its any man or woman's game. what's been most shocking to me is how much thee jackpot builds from everyone buying. It's nutss!

Yes, once it gets high like that, more people play so it goes up faster.

Anyone ever try the Dream House Raffle sweepstakes? Odds of winning are 1 in 40k vs 1 in 176 million for MM lotto. Only thing is it's $150 per ticket vs $1 for lotto.

Everyone at work put in $5 x by 35+ people. We won $27 on last draw. Now we are doubling for fridays draw. $10 each. Our company would go out of business the next day.

well, i had a brutal phone interview today... so to win this jack pot would be awesome so that the next time someone wants to set up a phone interview i'll just say, "i don't do phone interviews... also i just bought the company. i'm your new boss."

well, according to someone I know, 500M doesn't mean crap with the inflation that's coming soon. Perhaps we can buy a few loaves of bread and some cold cuts once the economy collapses.

If you win, then hurry and buy gold and silver with it, or exchange the money for other currencies. lol
