“"Buy 2 tickets and double your chances!!"

Oh yeah, from 1 in 2,426,732 to a whopping 2 in 2,426,732.

Buy one and save the other buck for the next drawing.”

“It was a joke, in the spirit of "I am so gonna win that baby Wednesday!"”

“I got it Sarge. I understand odds. ;-)”

“Just to make certain G4S, I knew you were joking. My joke was in the spirit of your joke. It wasn't to make fun of you. techntrek I don't think got it.

“DANG!!!!! I just realized that post sounds like something Buck would say!!!!!


Now that's not quite as scary.
LOL”

“This happened once to someone I was eating with. The pearl was about 2mm in diameter, if that.”

“I try to pattern my thoughts after His.”

“GGGGS, my mom got a black pearl in an oyster once. It turned out tobe worthless, and I can't remember how much the resultant root canal cost since half the crown came off.”

“Cool, we've got a $40 million draw in Canada this Wed. also.”

“NEWPORT, Kentucky (AP) -- A woman who won a $65.4 million Powerball jackpot with her husband five years ago was found dead at her home overlooking the Ohio River, where she had apparently been for days before anyone found her, police said.

Virginia Metcalf Merida's son discovered her body Wednesday. Police were awaiting autopsy and toxicology results before announcing a cause of death.

When the woman and her husband, Mack Wayne Metcalf, won the jackpot, they told lottery officials they were going their separate ways to fulfill their dreams. Merida planned to quit her job making corrugated boxes and buy a home. Metcalf, a forklift operator, wanted to start fresh in Australia. He never did.

Metcalf died in 2003 at age 45 while living in a replica of George Washington's Mount Vernon estate built in Corbin, Kentucky. His death followed multiple run-ins with the law, including a child-support dispute from a previous marriage and a drunken-driving charge filed before he hit the jackpot.

Neighbors said Merida stayed out of public view until last December when a body was found in her 5,000-square-foot, custom-built geodesic dome house. Campbell County Deputy Coroner Al Garnick confirmed that the man died of a drug overdose. Official records of the case were unavailable because of the Thanksgiving holiday weekend.

“Tuesday evening, as she had done dozens of times before, Costa walked to the convenience store across North Main Street from her home and bought a lottery scratch ticket. It turned out to be a winner, which she cashed for $100.

Costa headed home, excited to tell her nephew, who was staying with her, about her prize. But as she crossed the street again, Costa was struck by the driver of a sport-utility vehicle, police and family members said.

Costa died late Tuesday night at Brigham and Women's Hospital.

“Probably just so excited she didn't look.”

“I think the thread title should be changed to "Won the Lottery.....Leaving Earth"”

“Violin's post reminds me of the premise of "My Name is Earl".... (only he didn't die)”

“Practical jokers Tivo lottery drawing and buy tickets with winning numbers. They swap the fake ticket with his ticket and record his reaction when he thinks he won: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5676012956512384817&q=lottery+tivo”

“Oh yeah... language not appropriate for work.”

“That poor dude...his chain was seriously jerked...I wonder how long it took his heart to slow down...”
