    Yes sir
    Being out of work now for 2 years this would be awsome and a real surprise as I never win anything.
    Can't win if you don't play

    I'm out.

     I haven't played the lottery in decades. Besides, your chances of winning at Powerball are the same as getting hit by lightning multiple times.

    If I win, you'll see me at BJ Auction in January  :cooldancing:
    If I lose, you'll see me on the side of the highway picking up aluminum cans  :banghead:

    The odds of winning last weekend's biggest ever $650 million Mega Millions jackpot were about 1 in 176 million. The odds of of being struck by lightning are greater -- 1 in 750,000, depending on location. A guy in Wichita, Kansas, learned this basic gambling lesson when he was struck by lightning shortly after buying lottery tickets.

    On Thursday, Bill Isles, 48, bought three lottery tickets and told a friend, "I've got a better chance of getting struck by lightning," according to Reuters.

    Isles, a volunteer weather spotter for the National Weather Service was in his backyard checking for storm activity when he saw a flash, heard a boom and was thrown to the ground. "It kind of scrambled my brain and gave me an irregular heartbeat," he told Reuters.

    The next day Isles bought 10 more lottery tickets. But lightning didn't strike twice.





    I have not bought a lottery ticket in years.  I bought a single ticket yesterday.  It may be 1 in 176 million chances to win but my chances are zero if I don't play.

    I figure three bucks spent in fun is ok.  The problem is when people spend their money on the lottery and don't pay their bills.

    I haven't purchased a lottery ticket in years.  Didn't even know what counter to walk up to.  I must have looked like an idiot walking up and asking for a lottery ticket at the cigaret counter... :smokin: :roflsmiley:

    But I'm in now.

    If I win, the party's at my new house, and you're all invited! :money:

    I used to work with a guy like that.  He is retired now but he was in a weekly pool.  One week his wife asked him to stop by the store on the way home.  The guy that ran the pool stopped by that day and my friend only had a tem dollar bill on him.  He opted out of the pool that week.  The pool hit that week and the take home after taxes was about $600,000.00 each.
