Finally I'd say that anyone who wants up to $1,000 would have to make a pitch to me Shark-Tank style, and then I'd either be in or out.


Love that idea.

first thing I'd do buy a safe and throw the ticket into the safe.
Then..I'd call my parents, siblings, and best friend, and tell them all my wife has gone into labor so they all are in town.... then I bring them, along with my lawyer, to my tax guy to figure out a plan of attack.

Tax guy will get a few mil off so he has less incentive to try to screw me over. It's crazy with that much money how even folks you trust would make you hesitant to do business with them

These machines nowadays doesn't use any ink, it's a thermal printer, and the roll of paper is like 1000' in length.

It says there's a %17 chance that no one wins and it goes to $1 billion. I guess I'll buy a ticket tonight

I spent $2 today and picked my own numbers. Wednesday I spent $20 on computer generated numbers and did horrible. If there was a way to rank tickets from best to worst my picks from Wednesday were probably the worst in America. Here's to my second time playing this bitch.

I picked my own numbers wednesday and didn't even come close to getting a single number right.

Statistically speaking, the odds are the same.

Stop, I'm building myself back up after wasting $20 Wednesday.

When you win, you'll be wiping your arse with $20 bills.

I had 5 sets of numbers. I matched 1 number out of the whole lot.

Exactly the same for me. Getting the bad luck out of the way before Saturday!

Would you even sleep from Sat night until the time you were able to hand in that ticket? The anxiety level would be off the charts.




I've thought about this also. Sure, I could take a pic with my phone, but I would be afraid my phone would get hacked. I may try to find a place to copy the ticket for proof, but my anxiety level would be off the charts. The first thing Monday would be to find a safe deposit box I could place the ticket in until I made financial arrangements.

Fun problem to have.

The increase in odds from buying one ticket to 100 tickets is negligible.

Why do people expect to win when buying more than a couple tickets?

Why not? Your odds still increase. It's only $100.

I wouldn't donate shite to anyone except my mom and sister.

The rest I'm using on me. If they wanted big money they should have played the game.
