For some inane reason I only play when it gets to this level as if I couldn't be bothered with 40 Million. :doh:

Hah... isn't that funny how that works. I don't either. It really makes no sense

A tax on the poor and stupid for the most part.

Pays a lot of money for kids to go to college here though.

Yep. Just not quite the ROI I'm looking for on a $2 investment.

It amazes me, with the population of Texas, that this state rarely produces Power Ball winners.

True but it is fun to get a ticket or 5 when it gets this high. Question is: do I care enough to get my ass out of the house at some point today? Answer: probably not, unless there is some other reason. :dunno:

I, myself, get a kick out of the "it's a stupid tax/waste of money" crowd. Just stop by any Starbucks, some financial wizard, sipping a $6 coffee, will be glad to lecture you on it...

His answer is precisely why I don't buy lottery tickets, it would be way too hazardous to my health.

I'll probably get ten bucks worth tonight. I usually will buy one or two every few weeks. I feel lucky tonight.

I fockin' hate these things......more people should have a chance to win. Not any one person really needs more than a couple million. How great would it be to make 50 millionaires instead of the usual none.

 

 

 

Also.......THE best way to pay off our National Debt. :doublethumbsup:
