Mega-Million Fever..??Hit anyone else?

[vwnotrunning]

I havn't bought a ticket, but there was a big line at the gas station when I stopped to fill up the truck!!!

I already hit the lottery.

That being said, I gambled, and played 2 dollars on this latest jackpot.

My take is, if it was meant to be, it would be. Why not me?

I will hire an attorney, and get more anonymous than I am now.

I will also get another cab tractor, a new rifle, and finish another out building.
I will write a few checks to charity, that would be the second thing, after the attorney.

What are your numbers so we can root for you to win.

You miss the whole point. You aren't playing to win. Only an idiot really thinks he will win. However, it's not a waste of money. You are buying something of value. That something is HOPE. Isn't it worth a dollar to have hope for a couple days?

The person who only buys 2 tickets when the pot is over 1/2 Billion dollars will not go broke playing the lottery I expect.

Some times I eat fried chicken at a corner market and it is sad to watch people not self supporting scratching. They actually expect to win.

If you buy a ticket not expecting to win then it is for fun I would think. About 10 years ago some lottery pot got huge and a guy took like
$10K for the kids college funds and lost it all I read.

IMO, a dollar's worth of hope isn't worth much today, what with inflation and $4 per gallon gas. Every time I read something about the lottery hoopla it makes me remember a story I read in the newspaper several years ago that stated:

"40% of Americans count on the lottery, winning a sweepstakes, getting married, or an inheritance to fund their retirement...."

As for me, I have the utmost confidence that Social Security is going to be my meal ticket when I turn 62. No need for any risk at all....:laughing: I know I have a secure future without gambling a penny :laughing:

I'm in it for $5.
It's worth that for the excitement.

At least you will not have to worry about being over weight with that meal ticket. :thumbsup:

Hope comes in many forms, and I don't feel the need to waste my hard-earned money to get it. Besides, the best kind of hope is free.

As for that dollar, most people spend far more than a dollar on the lottery. If they saved those dollars, rather than wasting them, they might find that they had saved a lot of money over time.

There is a saying "be carefull what you wish for". Can't imagine life if I was worth $600 million that I didn't earn. (Or even of I did earn it if that is morally possible)
Who would I trust and where could I hide?:confused2:
