You can't win if you don't play.
But also you don't throw away huge amounts of dollars trying to win.
6.25 hours today and for the week so far 16.29. Enjoying chicken tenders and gravy at the deli. Reckon I'll put some gas in the only vehicle that runs. Of course visit the PO. Oh and the library.

I suspect that my Son bought my tickets at the outlet store, obviously the numbers were defective - no matches!!!!!!!!!! Oh well at least I don't have to worry myself sick on how to spend all that money!!!

Just saw this: LOL

“The Lottery, with its weekly pay-out of enormous prizes, was the one public event to which the proles [working class] paid serious attention. It was probable that there were some millions of proles for whom the Lottery was the principal if not the only reason for remaining alive. It was their delight, their folly, their anodyne, their intellectual stimulant. Where the Lottery was concerned, even people who could barely read and write seemed capable of intricate calculations and staggering feats of memory. There was a whole tribe of men who made their living simply by selling systems, forecasts, and lucky amulets. Winston had nothing to do with the Lottery, which was managed by the Ministry of Plenty, but he was aware (indeed everyone in the party was aware) that the prizes were largely imaginary. Only small sums were actually paid out, the winners of the big prizes being nonexistent persons.”

I don't play, there is a reason no one has won in a while, until yesterday, odds. I actually would buy a ticket to be honest, but I never remember to do so. It just doesn't cross my mind. If I went into a store and someone tried to sell me, I would buy one.

Just think Gary, if you had won the big one, and had taken the lump sum, after tax you could have bought somewhere in the neighborhood of 30-40 million bottles depending on your taste LOL

 

[Gary A.]

Gary would be happy with just a million or two bottles.

We are back from Temecula loaded down with bags of good stuff.

 

[davidharmier60]

4 hours and enough minutes to get 21.16 for the week so far. People's Bank, then our bank, then Post Office and then the box at the front of the neighborhood and then home.
