Yep, Buck did it again!

Excellent.

and someone does win the lottery - and when the pot is really big they usually seem to live in a trailer - I've never understood that.

Seriously, scorchy, hurry up!

My wife just came down and asked why I was naked. I said some woman on the Internet told me to. She got all mad and stomped off upstairs.


So this better be important.

Considering I've wasted more cash on other things in my life I don't see the harm in dropping a few more dollars on a big lotto ticket.

You won't win if you don't play.

It never hurts to dream.

The odds are simple,just say you play and send me half the money you save.

Scorchy - why do you keep chasing this poor naked guy up trees? Is he like a witch or a ghost or something?

It’s not a tax on people who don't understand math. Technically, it’s a tax on the stupid.

Yeah, Mutt, but there were extenuating circumstances.
Phaedrus

Ok, since Phaedrus convinced me that I must buy a lottery ticket, I bought one at lunch time today. I never played the lottery before and the clerk thought I was from Mars because I did not know HOW to buy a ticket.

Sooo, when is this 222 million drawing and how do I find out the winning number? More importantly, where do I pick up the big bag of cash?
Pennsy
1:45:09 PM

It's in the vault at your local bank, Pennsy, just go get it!*



*For the sarcasm challenged: This is against the law. Do not try it. However, your chances of stealing $222 million from your local bank are probably higher than your chances of winning the same amount of money in any lottery.

Phaedrus

$1 for a ticket? WTF, where else can you get that much entertainment for a buck.



Now the folks dropping a c note on tickets??? Their odds of winning don't even move.

I knew a guy who used to pick up the losing tickets from the day before off the ground, because the chances of winning with a ticket that's already lost aren't much worse than your chances of winning with a ticket that hasn't lost yet.
bitpusher
2:00:15 PM
2/20/04

Yeah, you can also deduct gambling losses from your income tax.

Each ticket is worth a dollar.
Phaedrus
2:02:04 PM
2/20/04

Of course, you losses are limited to you winnings.

So, really each ticket is about worthless.

What's really sad is the people who spend $40-$50 a month on lottery tickets when if they would put that much in an IRA, or even just stick it in the bank, after 30 years they would have something, instead of nothing, which is what they can expect, statistically.

Blowing a buck on a lottery ticket every week is harmless fun. But sadly, for some, it's a dangerous addiction.
bitpusher
2:06:38 PM
2/20/04

I don't think a buck a week is going to make or break a lot of folks.

But it only takes one ticket to win and having a hundred of them doesn't help you out at all.

Now if you bought every combination, you might have something. Just hope 10 others don't have it as well.

Holy cow. All of this lottery talk has made me all hot and bothered. I must score a ticket, NOW!

dang, I hate it when someone uses the sarcasm font.

I didn't buy the "Lottery for Dummies" book yet, so is this Megagazzillion drawing tonight?

Phaedrus, you ain't the guy trying to convince everybody to play the lottery? Or was it that naked guy that Scorchy chased up the tree?
Pennsy
2:16:44 PM

Hey, I got naked for Scorchy, but I never climbed no tree...
bitpusher

Hmmm.... I don't remember being naked.
