$222 MILLION!!!!!!

“put down the dollar today for my gauranteed check of 222M....gonna take everyone out if i win.....”

“Lottery: A tax on people who don't understand math.”

“Phaedrus: An uptight Cali-Pr1ck”

“That should come out to just under 6 million a year after taxes for 26 years.”

“Knock yourself out. Spend your dollar. Dream.”

“Of course, you have a better chance of getting struck by lightning twice.”

“Listen man, I have read through alot of posts and your constant bickering has gotten a little old. If you have no extra dollar, that's not my problem. Lottery here in GA pays for HOPE scholarships(which my sister brother and I used), Pre-k(which my mom teaches), and other things related to school. So yeah when I see the pot grow that big I think I can waste a buck for "fun".”

“and if you were in any other place besides sitting in front of your computer you would probably be getting your a$$ kicked...i have yet to see you carry on a decent convo without trying to belittle or demean someone..”

“ring ring

hello, kettle? this is the pot. youre black.”

“HA”

“So yeah when I see the pot grow that big I think I can waste a buck for "fun".

HEY? What's this "waste a buck for fun" stuff? What'd I do to you? That's it, I'm packin' heat. BRING IT ON, BUDDY.”

“damn when did they get you offline to do that little photo-op....Boy gee phaedrus your modelung career is really taking off....congrats...”

“Thanks, mom. You're the best.”

“thats quite a way of making friends you got there, sheppy old boy. keep it up, we will have forgotten about bacpac in no time”

“yah...if you knew a little about the person you are spekaing of then well i would hope you could deduct that, said description of me couldnt be accurate....oh wait you were just having a little deja vu after reading the previous post....ok i see...”

“The odds of winning the lottery are 1 in 15 million.

The odds of winning the Lotto Jackpot are about 1 in 14 million.


If one person purchases 50 Lotto tickets each week, they will win the jackpot about once every 5,000 years.

If a car gets 25 miles per gallon, and a gallon of gas is bought for every Lotto ticket bought, there will be enough gas for about 750 round trips to the moon before the jackpot is won.

It is three times more likely for a person driving ten miles to buy a Lotto ticket to be killed in a car accident than to win the jackpot.


The odds are greater to be:

Dealt a royal flush on the opening hand in a poker game (1 in 649,739)

Killed by terrorists while traveling abroad (1 in 650,000)

Die during an average life span from:

flesh-eating bacteria

heart disease from eating a broiled steak a week (1 in 48,000)

a lightning strike (1 in 30,000)

cancer from eating a peanut butter sandwich a day (1 in 5,000)”

“yah...if you knew a little about the person you are spekaing of then well i would hope you could deduct that, said description of me couldnt be accurate....oh wait you were just having a little deja vu after reading the previous post....ok i see...

Ice Tea, what'd I tell you about trolling?”

“well i have to be honest with you....dont much care and the guy just appears to be a smart ass from the word go...”

“I appear to be a smartass?

Thanks!”

“you gonna bark all day, little doggy, or are you gonna bite?”

“Phaedrus... someone's gotta win the lottery, right? I mean, if the odds are so bad that NO ONE COULD EVER WIN, then I'd see your point.

Besides, I thought you liked taxes! I don't know of any of the taxes I currently pay that might get me $222 mil in the process! :Þ”

“yeah but you don't really notice that the key word there is "ass”

“I like this tax, buck! It's a tax on people who don't understand math, as I said above, when shep here got all bent out of shape.”

“play nice boys”

“simmer down, shep. you gotta pay your dues before you come in here all huff and puff and bluster. show some respect. if somebody zings you, zing em back. going off like that will cause everyone to lose respect for you”

“and if phaedrus would read my 3rd some-odd post he may understand unless he was just raised in riches...”

“you gotta pay your dues before you come in here

you wouldnt mind telling me how long ive been a poster on this board would you??? I dont get angry about much and well honestly this guy is just being an ass so lets just call it at that”

“What makes you think I didn't understand, Shep?

BTW, I had a dog named Shep.

Good dog.”

“Phaedrus, come on, you gotta hate this lottery tax, it's funner that way. Repeat after me, "you hate it", "You Hate It", "YOU HATE IT"! YAAAA! Now go get 'em! Grrrr! No? Shoot, well I tried.”

“typical phaedrus...always impressive”

“Shep's pissed because he weighed in with an idiotic post on the gay marriage thread and got punked for it.”

“But you know something, SOMEONE wins almost every week!”

“LOL@tango!”

“i think yall should settle this in a pool of mud,... naked.”

“i posted and left my thoughts there...im not pissed and honestly i never went back to check the replies that may have went to it....im guessing i just dont keep quite as much free time as you..dunno...”

“Yeah, Scorchie I agree.”

“Shep's pissed because he weighed in with an idiotic post on the gay marriage thread and got punked for it.

Ahem. Penalty flag on the play. Phaedrus just attempted to take the thread off-topic. That's a big no-no in his own book. :Þ”

“No, No, better--Lime Green Jello!”

“let's place our bets.....

wait. i think i need to see a naked picture of each before i place my bet. my email is scorchess@aol.com thanks.”

“Interesting. Then if he's to be believed, he's a hair-trigger poster with a chip on his shoulder about being called on his math skills.

Sorry Shep. Didn't mean to push your buttons.”

“hell yes! then we can get them drunk and take advantage!”

“Absolutely right, Buck! Let's get back to the lottery and how little a chance there is for Shep to get out of the trailer park in this manner!”

“Hey, I got a dollar!”

“Hey scorch, I just happen to have my digital camera in the car, but I think my coworkers would look at me kinda funny.”

“anyone got change for a 20??”

“Okay, what does mud wrestling and gay marriage have to do with with a $222 million lottery?

And what does shep0987® reeeeeally mean by, "gonna take everyone out if i win....." Hmmmm.”

“I win the Lotto every time I play.
Here in Calif. it's currently 22 mil.
I bought $2 worth on the way to work.
22 mil. cut in half for cash option, less 1/3 for taxes would net me 7.3 mil.
What would I do with $7.3 mil?

Oh yeah! Oh baby!

That rush was worth $2. I WIN.”

“phaed, go to the little boys room”

“They don't let me in there since I started scaring the little boys.”
