Thiebear Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 guess we'll all be at work on Monday i'm ready to get a ticket the next time it hits 270+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Well, looks like my school debt won't be paid off anytime soon. My foolproof plan failed...yet again. Oh well. You know, I actually read a "People" magazine article about winners of the lotto and how their lives were impacted...for the worse...following their lotto win. I can kind of see how that happens too, you get money, then everyone who ever was involved in your life in some minute way, and even those who weren't, start coming out of the woodwork and harrassing you. So hey, at least you get to go another lotto cycle without having to worry about that crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if there was any way you could win remain anonymous, of course I'd probably tell my family, and then they would probably tell everyone else...

macnoke03 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 I very rarely play the lottery no matter the jackpost size but I've never quite understood the people that only play the lotto win it get's "big." Like $20 million is chump change and wouldn't be life changing :whoknows: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPortJGibbs89 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Damn could you imagine winning that Jackpot. I would probably die of a heart attack because I would be so damn excited and shocked..... I always say I should start buying lottery tickets more but I never do.

DCranon21 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Shoot, there goes my plan to pay for film school. Looks like the loans will keep piling. Like Thiebear said, I'll wait til it hits 270 million+. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like $20 million is chump change and wouldn't be life changing :whoknows: I think it is more along the lines of not wanting to get addicted to shelling out $20 twice a week for something you are almost guaranteed to not win. 12 mil (7 after taxes) is definitely not chump change, but I would rather just play when the pot was astronomically huge as opposed to its regular amounts.

Lotto is a tax on poor people. I only play 3-4 times a year.. throwing 40 bucks in the garbage.. I won 10$ once and told my boss thats it! I'm outta here..

HailGreen28 Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 The lotto is a tax on people who can't do math. If your odds of winning a million are 1-100000000000, who thinks "Wow if I put down $20 a week, in a few years I'll break even! Kinda fitting in NC, that the money was supposed to go to education. IE: As long as people are stupid enough to think they can realistically win, we need more money for education.* You like to gamble a little for fun, like a co-worker of mine, fine. But then there are those who are compulsive gamblers..... *Of course, now they're saying the money isn't reserved for education, just gets put in the general pot for whatever the politicians deem is "most important". :doh: :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
