Every year lots of really nice prizes are given out, sets of tires, trips to Germany, and some people I know have won more than one set of tires. I have never won as much as a baseball cap.

I will not waste my money on a lottery. It is just a tax on the math impaired.

Good luck, but I will feel confident saying no one on this board will win the lottery.
You never win because you're too grumpy, Glenn. I never win because I don't play. I think I've bought ~ 5 tickets over the years, mostly when I was much younger, and always because my girlfriend wanted to buy a ticket. The only thing that I ever won was keeping the gf happy, but that's all I expected to win.

I'm not a gambler. I went to Jai Alai once when I was in college. I made three $2 bets and won $21. When I was about 8, we were in Japan, and some club off base (VFW?) had a small room with slot machines. My parents (also not gamblers) wanted to show me a slot machine. I put in a nickle and won $2.10.

So I'm a winner, but I'm not a gambler!
