WRT previous winners, what percentage of the total amount of winners..... over $500K (?) do you think that show represents? |

Brain Fried Bob, only you would liken the lottery to drinking. Of course, as a brain fried drunk, you compare EVERYTHING to drinking. Some (most) people can have a little fun with it. A few are just too immature or have other weaknesses that don't allow them to control themselves. So what's your excuse? Amazing how this deranged, ignorant drug dealer ignores science, ignores reality, and goes straight to the discredited old fashioned shaming rationale. Just to immature and unable to control himself, I guess. But at least I know he's not talking about me. After all, I have not had a drink in over 22 years. Sorta disproves Brain Fried's gibberish, eh? Which spills over into other parts of their lives and shows up in oh so many ways....as we all know. Holy ****, Bob. What ways? Like lying to the cops and getting humiliated when exposed? Does drinking turn EVERYONE into dickless cowards? C'mon, if a dollar or three per week is really that much money to you, you have other problems. You have other problems, Bob. Lots of them. Start with your alcoholism. Do you pour vodka over your cornflakes? |

Any earlier and you have more chance of dying than winning... I would think you ALWAYS have more chance of dying than winning. Everybody dies eventually, few ever win. The actual difference in the odds of winning is not improved significantly by buying a ticket. Horvie - don't spend that $10.00 all in one place! |

The difference between 0 and one is a trillion is still infinite. Similar to "a short putt never goes in the hole". But the insignificance of spending $10 vs. the chance, no matter how small, to win millions is well worth it for me. |

Bob, Bob. You gotta stop using vodka on your cornflakes. Drunk logic just makes you look stupider than usual. What's that you mumble? You weren't drunk when you wrote that? But the insignificance of spending $10 vs. the chance, no matter how small, to win millions is well worth it for me. I understand, Thompson. The insignificance of setting meets in Utah and wasting five minutes of my time vs the chance, no matter how small, that you will actually show up is well worth it to me. I think I'll go buy a ticket. More chances of me winning than of any of you freaks ever threatening my life while within sight of me. |

SHOW ME THE ANNUITY. How about let's go back to Act One: Show the post, Ted. No surprise you have not responded to being exposed as a pathological liar and dickless coward. Still waiting for that call from SPD, Ted. How embarassing for you. Even more amusing when you talk a bunch of crap and then hide in shame, knowing your cowardice is on view for all to see. Show the post, Ted. Contact info? |

I can think of some people who'd be able to fund the entire defense budget by themselves. It is an interesting story... I think there are all these stories of regret for winning the lottery, which is of course ironic... Actually, it's not at all surprising. If your money management skills are so poor that you're playing the lottery in the first place, it follows that you won't be able to manage the jackpot. Anybody with reasonable money management skills doesn't play in the first place. //Walt |
