1st billion dollar lotto jackpot on the way?
OMG.. I would buy a big yacht named Fya'll and spend the rest of my life swimming in Margaritas off the Coasts of the BVI.

Yeah, but it's like $14 million after taxes. Hardly worth it, ya?
I'd be happy with 14 Grand. I'm buying three tix.

It's already started. All you have to do is send me $1000 via paypal and I enter your name into the draw. Somebody, somewhere, is guaranteed a big payday* Anyone interested please PM me. I'll be starting to spam a thread about it soon.   *Me hopefully........

The lottery is a tax on people with bad math.
They've designed the game in such a way as to discourage frequent payouts, in order to drive jackpots higher. They do this because the math-challenged masses actually react to lack of payouts by increasing their ticket purchases. Bizarre. But it works, and generates a lot of money - not for schools and stuff, but for the bloated bureaucracies that administer them and for the millions spent in advertising.
BTW, a tip for the math-challenged: buying 1,000 tickets does not increase your odds by any statistically-significant amount over buying 1 ticket. So if you must participate, buy one ticket. And let the computer pick the numbers for you, there is nothing magical about your childrens' birthdays.
Lest you think I'm a hopelessly grumpy old man, my wife buys lottery tickets every week, so I'm covered. I'm assuming, of course, that she'd share her winnings with me.
 All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to. My Stuff

So.... I went to the beach the other day, and got hit once by a truck as I was walking on the beach, got hit twice by lightning while surfing later on, and attacked by a school of sharks three times.... does that change my odds? I heard somewhere that having that happen on the same day ^^^^^ is as likely as winning the lottery......

You like to be out of the way, huh? That's alright.. I'm just thinking about how much fun I'd have, passing time playing all my favorite games like, "Count the Concubines," and, "Summon The Butler."
