Talking Bought my first lotto ticket!

I never play the lotto since your chances of winning are .000000001%, so its throwing money away, which can be thrown away on better stuff...like cars and beer.

Anyway the jackpot is up to $165,000,000, so I figured for a $1 it might be fun.

Also I want to win the bet I have with Brian, about paying taxes.

My numbers are 25 29 31 37 40 PB: 17

Swamp what channel is the drawing on and when?

Bet eh? Is there money riding on it?

You realized they just changed the game again, right?

I think they added 4 regular balls (Giving you 1 through 59.) and removed 3 Power Balls (Leaving you 1 through 39.) for the final mix...interesting enough, the odds went even higher...it's now 1:195,249,054 where before it was something like 1:146,107,962...

Anyways, happy dreams and the school kids' teachers thank you for your support...or whatever...

It's on Fox61 during the 10:00 news.

It's fun to daydream about all the fun stuff you could buy even though it's just pissing money away. (I do the same thing when it gets to stupid money jackpots)

Maybe I'll win and take a ride to the Mercedes dealer tomarrow to work out a deal on an S65 AMG.



I live in a hilly area and need a lot of power, do you think the stock bi turbo V12 would provide enough power? Maybe Brabus should warm it up a bit more.

Look around...part of the "re-numbering" of the balls also was the mention that FL was being added to the multi-state aspect of this thing...

I don't recall if the first PB-Drawing date of '09 was the start of FL's entrance or if there's another date...

Check around...they may not have a lot of terminals set up yet...

Oh and the house I want has a 3 car garage so I'll need to fill the two other bays:





Those will do nicely.

I guess I'll have to fetch the milk in the Maybach or drive the Reventon to the edge of my mile long driveway to get the paper since the mail boy cannot throw it far enough

I won't go to nuts on the house. Their is a very nice about 6k sf victorian in the center of town with a surprisingly large lot, inground pool, and 3 car garage.

It needs a lot of updating so I could probably get it for say $900k, and put $1m into it...than I would really have something.
