CECAA850 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm not going to lie. If I won it all, I would probably do a lot of cocaine. And strippers! I refer to lotto as paying your idiot tax. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel's wife Posted January 8, 2016 Moderators Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) The husband played five dollars a week for a year or two. They won the million while they were on a cruise with us. The sold their home, upgraded to a slightly larger home and are living comfortably traveling the country. All of this after they gave each of their children enough to pay their homes off! Edited January 8, 2016 by dtel's wife 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebuy Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 First thing I'd do here in WV would be---I'd buy a Doublewide and take the wheels off. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after you take the wheels off you are supposed to put them on the roof to keep the sound of the rain from keeping you awake at night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strippers ??? How second rate can you get man? Second class thinking there my man. The "Correct" way is to buy the strip joint, this way you are treated like a king when you show up. :emotion-21: 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mighty Favog Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 After I build the new house, open the Swiss bank account, change all of our phone numbers, e-mail addresses and my identity I'll put in my order for the Pagani and maybe get it delivered before I die. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) I've been shooing away whole gaggles of folks at work who are making a big production out of going in on the big lottery. I've almost run out of excuses. I can see the "entertainment" value of it but, as a retirement plan, buying a $5 lottery ticket leaves a lot to be desired. Not only will you not* win, but now you are $5 poorer. Anecdotally, I've never known anyone who won more than a few bucks on any lottery and I'm 50. This doesn't inspire me to try to break the drought. It means your luck is about to change! Philosophically, I consider lotteries (along with most forms of "me-against-the-house" gambling) to be Darwinism in action. Most consider a tax against the poor! *0.0000000000324 (your chance of winning the Powerball) is close enough to zero for everyday purposes. Yeah, but if you don't play, you can't win.

mungkiman Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 You can "win" $2 if you don't play. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) You only need to be lucky once. For the amount of money I need to be able to live comfortably, I need to be making so much money per hour that if I dropped a hundred dollar bill it would cost me more to pick it up than to leave it.

minermark Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Everyone have their tickys? Maybe i'll take the wife out later today, hit the Pub. In Calif some pubs have the Lotto, very easy to play, no lines here just bar stools 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minermark Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I'm not going to lie. If I won it all, I would probably do a lot of cocaine. Well if you did, it would be second rate stuff, because IF you win anything, half would be more like it, because you see, i'll take my half, and im buyin a small jet and be in Boliva before you wake up sunday morning. And do not plan on sending even second rate stuff north for quite some time....... :ph34r: I might add, There will be a noticable lacking of "Maduros" in the market place also, as Nicaragura will be the next stop. You will all be invited to My Pub in Ireland as well as Belize, think i can make it a year? As long as im not seeing any "Under the Bridge" storys might as well take it to the Fantasy level 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Richard Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 after five years you are living happily ever after; or wind up drunk, broke, in jail or chased by the IRS. Back to the status quo, IOW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Everyone have their tickys? I got mine early, before they were all gone. If you go by the odds of winning, you have a better chance of getting married to a supermodel AND becoming president of the United States than you do of winning the lottery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
