JJK It's just not fair, rigged, setup, there was no reason for you not to win. I guess everyone who didn't win was just because the air didn't blow just right on their balls.

I'm focusing on losing the 1.6 Mega Billions tonight, then after that hope has been dashed I'll work on losing the half-billion dollar Power Ball. You've gotta have career goals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ski Bum Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Dug another $2 in change from between the couch cushions, I'm back in for another roll of the dice, and in on the Forum Jub agreement.

JL Sargent Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 How can any wife complain about free Jubs!!! I would do a LOT for my community and county if I were to win $1B walking money. $10 million REC sports complex $200 million county wide all new high school football multi sport stadiums $50 million county wide added AP curriculum with full tech/science labs for all $100 million allotted for gifts in education and healthcare on an as needed basis but no more than 5 million in any given year. Well, that's a third of it given away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted October 23, 2018 Author Share Posted October 23, 2018 I asked my wife what she would do if I won the lottery. She said she'd take her half, leave my sorry butt and move to California. I told her I actually won 12 dollars, so I gave her six bucks and asked her to call me when she gets there... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvu80 Posted October 24, 2018 Author Share Posted October 24, 2018 Just before racquetball tonight I stopped by the 7-11 to pick up a 2-liter of Pepsi and a Mega Millions ticket. As I was leaving the clerk, a young man who was very friendly said "good luck tonight!" I told him "I'm sure the Pepsi will be just fine."
