That multi state lotto up to over 400 million.

That multi state lotto up to over 400 million.
Gonna have to take that 20 mile ride to the California line and pick up some tickets.
They don't let them sell the tickets in Nevada.
Keep your fingers crossed for me, if I hit it I'll be able to hire some of my friends on here to finish my projects. Ain't no pleasure like doing it your self, but I guess I'll have to leave that pleasure to some one that can bend better then I do these days. Going in to Vegas in a couple days to see a specialist and see if they are gonna replace the bad knees yet. Not sure how they would do them both at once or one at a time???
I guess I'll find out.

Good luck on the lotto, Kurt! If I don't win it all I hope you do!!

On the knees, I have seen several people around here do both of them at the same time. Kind of depends on the doc, I think. Hope you get the report you're wanting on the knees, too!

It would be nice to know some one who won the lotto...The knee replacement ain't a big deal I had my right knee done a few years ago. They have you up walking and climbing stairs hours after surgery. I just had one done as they had removed the cartilage years ago and it went bone on bone. Good luck on BOTH

Kurt, good luck on both! I'm sure it'd be nice to get rid of the knee paina and troubles! Winning the lotto would be awesome! Some folks won it last year in Bondurant Iowa and they donated some to the community. It'd definitely be awesome to have the oppurtunity to do things like that.

Thanks guy's on both, I ain't holding my breath on either.
But I figure if I am gonna dream, I might as well dream big, Right.
Kurt

Guess maybe I need to go buy one of those "Voluntary Tax" tickets before the Saturday drawing.....

Good luck on both ventures, Kurt. I made a run down to Dolan Springs today and gave a donation at Rosie's.

Just remember that since every thing is going around in circles in our country these days, if you get both done at same time, you can get one of them reversed so you can run a tighter circle---and if you also win the lottery, we'll call you the" 400 million dollar man" Well I guess we'd call anyone who won the lottery that------------

400 million here......................400 million there......................after awhile, it could start to add up.

Well I didn't hit the lotto but to the plus side, no one did, So it's almost up to $600 million.
So I have to make a trip back over to the California line and get another ticket tomorrow morning.
On the plus side of that, Found out today the VA is gonna replace my right Knee in April,
and my left knee a couple months after that. My surgeon said he won't do both knees at once.
Then there looking at my hips, made me go down and get ex rays of those today to.
Yep I'll be like a new man, HE! HE! HE! It will be nice to walk with out all that loud grinding.
Finally.
Kurt

Don't know if it's the same Lotto or not but I bought a ticket last Thursday for Friday's drawing here in Texas and while I was in there someone asked me what I would do, if I won. I told them "I don't know exactly what I would do but I can guarantee you that it wouldn't be the same thing I did the day before !"

From what I read, the big one right now is the MegaMillions drawings, held on Tuesday's & Friday's. They changed the odds back in September/October, and it's rolled over twenty times consecutively with no winner. They say that over 70% of the possible winning combo's will sell for tomorrow's drawing, but if it rolls again then the total for Friday will likely exceed $1 billion for the extended payout. The next PowerBall drawing is Wednesday, with the estimated payout $50MM, which I guess is chump change in the lottery world? We buy tickets only very, very rarely as we truly consider it a voluntary tax and not really a form of entertainment.

A few of us in work pooled some money and bought a bunch of MegaMillions tickets today. I normally don't buy lottery tickets but I figured in case they win I wouldn't want to be the only one left working here.

I rarely buy lotto tickets because I know my luck and I can throw my money away easy enough. :LOL: But they always say you can't win if you don't play. I thought it was a misprint on the electronic sign on top of the wall when we pulled into a Kum NGo at 5:50 saturday morning. Nope, that was the lotto pot. :LOL:

When I stopped in the store it was obvious that I had no idea how their systems worked, and I mentioned, "You can't win if you don't play", and a guy paying for gas said, "Yeah, but you can't lose, either...." True words, but I figured $5 in voluntary tax was not too bad once or twice a year....

LMAO - - - only you Nick only you hahahahahahaha

This morning the news guy said that say it will top 600 million just think if you budgeted it just right you could actually live on that much money or you could donate it to uncle Sam and they could run the government for about 10 seconds. lol lol .....ted

I am with you guy's Roger & Ryan, I only buy tickets when the lotto is way up there.
This will only be the second time I bought a lotto ticket this year and I only spend about 10 bucks.
And yes I already have my numbers picked, or lucky numbers sort of speak.
And I already have a plan if I was to win, I would hire some of my buds on here to finish some of my project cars.
And then go from there, with that much who knows what a gear head can do.
If I don't win it, I hope one of our brother's on Club Hot Rod do, then they could throw some work at some of the
other guys on here. Keep it in the family sort of speak, right. Maybe have the guy's build one
bad ass car then have a drawing with all the guys on CHR and give it to one of them.
That's what I would do, But let's face it, chances of winning are like billions to one.
So I ain't gonna count my chickens before they hatch. HE! HE! HE!
Good luck guys, I wish you all the best of luck.

I tell al of my friends that I can be a maid/slave for the right price when they win the lotto. :LOL:

Well, I missed on that last one, and I won't have a shot in this one because it is a 45 - 90 minute drive to get in, and I have other things on the fire today. Maybe if it rolls again, I'll get in on it Friday.

They say if it rolls over again it will be at one billion dollars.

................:CRY::CRY::CRY::CRY::CRY:................:HMMM::LOL:
No big winner here. Just got back $2 of my $5;)

BUT...Somebody won somewhere!! The estimated payout for the next drawing is now shown as $15MM, so they had at least one winning combination sold. Kurt??

Same here I got $2 for $10 back.
Some one is gonna have a good Christmas.

According to their website there were two winners big winners, a lady in GA who bought one ticket and someone in CA. They split $656MM with a lesser cash value, and there were also twenty tickets that were $1MM winners, getting all but the "power ball" number 7 right. Merry Christmas!!

a 1 million $ winner just east of me in Niles MI.. That's as close as I get
