I just bought a MegaMillions ticket

The jackpot is $22,000,000. (I just wanted to type that out.) The drawing is tonight.

I know, tell me the odds, tell me I’m an idiot, wish me luck, whatever. Impulse buy as I was buying a gallon of milk at the gas station.

:smiley:

$1 is a cheap way to spend the evening dreaming about what you’ll do with all your newly-won loot. There’s nothing wrong with buying lottery tickets unless you spend lots of money on it and winning is your retirement plan.

Good luck. You and I both know that we’ll never, ever win, but that doesn’t stop us from occasionally buying a shot at the dream.

Thanks, and good luck to you too! :smiley:

The drawing is twice a week and I buy a ticket for each. The proceeds go to helping the elderly.

I spend way more than that on other charities and I get the satisfaction of helping someone in return. This way, I get a dream, a slim chance of winning and the satisfaction of helping the elderly.

I can afford 2 bucks a week for that.

Have you always wanted to adopt? I’m available. :slight_smile: Good Luck.

I bought a ticket for the $50 million (untaxed suckers) Lotto Max today. My daughter has been helping me surf the Hawaii realestate site looking for our new home.

I think we’ll live here.

I saw that the fantasy 5 jackpot was at 800,000 a few months ago. Matching 5 numbers did not seem so hard. So i bought one. i had the first 4 in a row. My prize 100 bucks. I bought a new racketball racket. But I thought I was going to get a lot more than that.

Alas, I did not win. :frowning:

I never buy PowerBall tickets until the prize is over $100 millon. Then I buy a $5 ticket for each drawing until somebody wins.

Nor did I. On the plus side neither did anyone else. I’m going to plan all week on winning - I’ll decide on Friday if I actually buy a ticket or not :slight_smile:
