Default Lottery Tickets?

I have made fun of people who think they are gonna retire on winning a lottery. Don't these people know the odds? They are NOT going to win.

Well, four of the guys at work are now buying lottery tickets as a team. And if they win (they won't, but still, if they do...) how will I feel?

So, you guessed it - I, today, for the fourth time in two months... I did it... I spent $10 on lottery tickets.

If my mother were alive she'd laugh her tail off at me.

I love to spend about 5 bucks every time I go through georgia on the MegaMillions. Sure, chances are next to nothing, but still fun.

When you look at that billboard that says "154 million" or something, it looks so nice.

I just feel so foolish.... .but if I DON"T participate - they will probably win.

With me along, surely they won't win... but at least I won't have to shooot myself for not joining in.

(And as much HOPE money as I'v gone thru, I probably should give some back!)

Oh holy crap. I never even thought of that, as I'm sure you didn't. I bet there were 4 slightly upset people.

I rarely buy lottery tickets, unless the numbers are huge. Then I'll buy one ticket. I feel that if it's meant to be, all you need is one ticket..

We'll throw $5 away once a week when Powerball reaches 9 figures & we don't even do that consistently. You have a better chance of getting hit by lightning (or falling off of a cliff or eaten by wolves) than of ever winning the jackpot.
BUT, if we'd get lucky then I'd need to have one of these:
bugatti.com - Grand Sport
