Anyone power balling tonight?

Had a five dollar bill blow across the lot and stuck to my boot.
Coworker also found a five. I think it was a higher being telling us, "place thine 10-spot on the powerball, my child! Quick pic of course."

It's go time! $500 million or so. Split three ways. Me, coworker and the tax-man. (Plus some lawyer)

Yeah I figure we'll drop a 10 or so on it. I mean with 500 mil, there's plenty of room for smart investment choices as well as the always entertaining stupid ideas!!!

I'm in a pool. I would walk away with 5% of the stated winnings after splitting, taking the lump sum, and taxes.

I play now and again.

I never spend more than $1.00.

You can only win on one ticket.

Yes for Powerball $2.00

My point was I don't buy more than one ticket.

I haven't decided if I'll play or go buy a cup of coffee and spill it out. What time can you buy a ticket until?

Nope. I learned how to do math in grade school. Lotteries are a tax on math impaired.

I figure my odds of winning w/o buying a ticket are almost the same as those who do buy a ticket.

Guy on the radio today was putting down the lotto.
He claims giving your 2 dollars to a homeless guy will give you a better feeling than playing the lotto.
I am thinking a cup of coffee for me, is a better choice.

Yea really. Its two bucks. Very small risk for a huge reward. And little chance of winning it. But somebody has to win it.
