Did you get your ticket?

The radio announcer stated the account t was up to $800. :shock: Some people are foolish with their money and others are just foolish.

One guy on the news said he knew folks that mortgaged their homes to buy tickets. That's just insane! In my 20's I donated to a lot of charities. Later when I needed a little help none would. Now I donate only to my favorite charity. Me.

On tv one guy who had won 2 lotteries before spent $15,000 on tickets. Wished I had the money to throw away like that.

If I did I'd still buy only one ticket. I know someone has to win some day but my odds aren't any worse with one ticket than the guy who bought 8,000 tickets. Besides my luck is such I've never won a raffle that had 100 tickets or less. Still nice to dream once in a while.

I found that same thing out. Those organizations that turned me down didn't like my response when they asked me for another donation.

A foolish person spends money carelessly and will soon be penniless.

These people bought 73,000... no that isn't a typo, 73,000 tickets!

Yee gods! :shock: With the powerplay that's $3 a ticket. That's $219,000!

Oh well I blew my $4 on a chance for tonight and wednesday night. Here's to hoping! :beg:

 

[dan filipi]

They were $2 tickets, and a pool of people bought in at about $500 each.

 

[slabghost]

That's still $146,000 for tickets. I wonder if any were even partial winners?

The Lottery made a little profit on that transaction! :whistling:
