Re: $31,050.23 / Day

I know someone who's parents won $10 million in the lottery a few years ago. They bought $200 worth of Powerball tickets. :D <br /><br />They were talking about it on the news last night and someone buying a ticket made a good point - "If you were meant to win you only need to buy 1 ticket". ;)

Re: $31,050.23 / Day

We've been pooling together at work and buying about $75 worth at a time. So far not much luck.<br /><br />Ahh... would it be sweet to win.<br /><br />But the way I figure it... You have to be elderly, no Dependants, and on some sort of life support to win. None of which I'm even close to :) <br /><br /><br />H.

Would that be enough to collect as many great cars as Jay Leno?

You guys aren't picking the right numbers, that is why you can't win..<br />use this chart<br />Foot size<br />length of your longest finger<br />waist size<br />neck size<br />upper thigh size<br />or your date of birth<br />remember if you win this week I want half so don't forget me..

I'm with Noel.. about $5 a year, if that much...<br /><br />The odds of getting struck by lightning twice in the same day are better than the odds at winning lotto..<br /><br />How much $ does a feller really need?.... <br /><br />I guess if I won such a thing, I'd probably expand my biz or start a new company, and find some good folks too put to work... Pay my employees, well... :)

Enough to make Jay Leno's collection look like a discount used car lot in mexico.

I buy tickets on occasion and haven't had much luck. The way I see it for the few bucks I spend I get to dream of winning because there is a chance... without a ticket... there's no chance. :)

I am in a pool at work where I invest about $2 a week.<br /><br />My theory is if they ever do win it, I would rather be walking out with them than dealing with what to do now since they are all gone.

Re: $31,050.23 / Day

I'm in tears here...just said on the news someone in Oregon matched all 6 numbers for $340 million. 1 guy. 4 more won $810,000. In Oregon.<br /><br />Earlier today I decided not to waste the dollar. In Oregon.<br /><br />Oh well...I've already got a bad heart, it probably would have killed me. :rolleyes:

I just talked to my uncle on the phone. He lives close to the town where the ticket was sold. He bought 2 tickets at the store where they think the big ticket was sold!!!<br /><br />7.5 million per year. Your only job is to spend it. :eek:
