Okay how many tickets y'all going to buy and what's your strategy's?
I guess I just get quick pick's
I haven't bought a lottery ticket in a long time but I think maybe now's the time. just think of all the cars and shop space I could get with that money. :LOL:
Come on somebody here needs to bring the money home.
Good Luck
Me and the wife buy five dollars worth and quick pick's. Let her ride baby needs some new shoes.
Tis a lot more successful ( the lottery ) since the name was changed from ' stupidity tax '
What'd ya do run the tires off the 32 already????????Quote:

Got my 5 quick picks. Numbers drawn are random, picks might as well be too! Good luck everyone, hope ya'll get second!
Pat
Got my tickets yesterday,it's only 22 miles to the California line from my house.
Plus it goes by the caves where Charles Manson used to hide out and torture people.
They have no trespass signs up, but you can still see the caves from the road.
The lower caves they have put steel doors on to keep people out.
Boy if that place could talk, but I am not sure I would want to hear it.
Kurt
I'm guaranteed not to loose in this lottery.
Spent $0.00
We buy just five every week, if I`m meant to win it just takes one...
Kurt, good thing you got over to Primm early.............just heard a report that the line to buy tickets there is about 3/4 mile long this morning.
Interest and hype has driven the payout up to $640mm, maybe be even higher by the end of sales later. Wouldn't be surprised if there will be more than one winner.
My wife just went out for a while to pick up some zoning variance applications - my bet is that she will stop and pick up a ticket or two. Me - I don't/wont fund that - all I do is supply some of the $$ payout - historical background for my 'gambling addiction:whacked:'
if I'm going to loose money I usually go the casino route at least they bring you a drink. I have had some costly kool-aid from time to time. when I win this 640 million were all going on a Club Hot Rod Cruise start packing. :-)
I was asked to get in a pool today for 20 bux. I bet tomorrow I'll have 20 bux more than they do. :LOL:
I'm gonna win and build me my very own 1/8 mile drag strip----indoors!!!!!!
A lady in my wife's bridge group mentioned last night that her husband still participates in the office lottery pool, fearing that the week he stops is the week they'll hit the big win. Then she said, "Oh, and he retired in 1999!" :eek::eek::LOL:Quote:

I agree Roger it is another way to tax us................. Dang it Dave make it a full 1/4 mile and don't forget to add A/C lol
I read where American's have spent 1.5 Billion on this Mega Million win already. there the ones coming out a head as always.
Good Luck to all that are playing and dreaming, let's bring it home.
Show me the Money!!!!
It's been fun listening to all the media whizzing and moaning about how it's a "regressive tax", a tax disproportionately levied on the poor, and blah blah blah.
I couldn't disagree more, and I haven't bought a lotto ticket in decades (although my bride does). I look at Dave's drag strip dream as an example: how much does a movie ticket at a theatre cost today. And poof! It's over with an a couple hours or less. Depending on when you buy your ticket, a lotto coupon could last for days or exercising your imagination. It's cheap entertainment..................and unlike many forms of taxation, it's voluntary!! Now, if they would only use the money for school funding like they committed in the beginning.................................
I thought I won.....but it was only a dream.

thanks to all that played along
till next time the numbers get BIG I will have on to my money
Think I'll go out & spend my 20 bux on a 1/4 tank of gas. :LOL::LOL:Quote:

the odds in winning are slim to non but if you don't play your sure not going to win or loose any money.
this was the first time I have played the lottery in a couple years. it was worth losing twelve dollars for the chance to win 640 million to me.
:eek::eek:KANSAS???:eek::eek: I'd better check my numbers!!Quote:

Roger, since your in Kansas and I'm in Illinois----its probably us that won---want to split a couple islands--like New Zealand? or Wake, Midway???
I think that makes sense, Jerry! :D Can you call the bank and see if we can get a bridge loan, pending award of the lottery money? I think we can go ahead with the purchase, on good faith, and then if things don't work out for some reason we can surely get some federal bailout money, don't you think??;);):rolleyes:;);)Quote:
