I don't buy lottery tickets on a regular basis, but now it seems like fun to dream!

Gotta be in it to win it.

Yep. Aluminum one at that. I don’t ask for much, especially from people I’ve never met. ?

Heck Yeah, who isn't attracted to a Monetary Windfall ??

 

Regrettably though, the odds of success are remarkably infinitesimal,

where losing is the BIG winner.  

Maybe I’ve been in the equity trenches too long, but I can honestly say,

I've never purchased '1'  lottery ticket in my entire life (Honest Engine).

 

ODDS OF WINNING

Lottery Participant: = 0.000000000001

Non-Participant:     = 0. 00000000000

 

As a non-participant, I’m okay with those odds  ?

Money can't buy happiness. Poverty can't buy anything.

This thread just went WAAAAYYYYY over my head.

 

I need to look this one up in the "The-ah-saurus". If I can find that dinosaur book in my son's room that is.

I don’t like that word either  

In fact, I only use it to describe something infinitesimally small

Your odds are millions of times better in Vegas.

 

Lottery is for the mathematically challenged yet most people who play believe they are ahead monetarily, which is impossible.

 

If you have ever been in line in front of me at the liquor store buying lottery tickets while my beer is getting warm, I hate you.

The last time I bought a ticket I only missed the Grand Prize by six numbers!

LPT: Always join the lottery pool at work. You are not gambling, you are buying insurance. Insurance that you are not the only one still at work when the pool wins and everyone quits.

I bought 2 Powerball and 2 Mega Millions tickets and won $6. I spent $8.

 

But I bought a few more today. I mean, a BILLION dollars. COVID has made the last year crap for me. I’m hoping that yin - yang thing works out.

I'll be watching the 'Show you rides' thread carefully, and if someone from Michigan posts their new Basscat Jaguar, we'll know we have a half-billionaire in our midst.

I buy tickets when the jackpot gets this high. I have thrown away a lot more money on a lot worse things.
