Nope...put a fiver on Chelsea over Manchester tomorrow though. I only make big bets on Iceland when the play Internationally. By big bet I mean $30.00 to $100.00 bucks in a trading account I doubled so it is already just play money. It must take a certain type of idiot to bet on lottery.

I second that emotion

Only an idiot buys one of these nowadays. Odds keep decreasing exponentially and more morons buy due to bigger jackpot. Duh!!! it's because of the frickin' odds.

Me too, I bought 5 qp's for tonight. Got a $10 tip from a customer today so not really out anything.

I buy a couple scratch offs every few months. The most I have ever won was $400.

I want an Ooompah Looompah!

I bought 10

NO

We go months and don't buy but when it gets this big well then we buy a few.

I played Tuesday and won $20, so I just took that money and bought more tickets.

Honestly, I'd be happy just to win a few hundred million.

I personally think that's money not well spent, but that's just me.

Thanks I just drove down to the store and bought 30 more tickets, so I have 50. That's the most I have ever bought!

LOL

I Never buy.

The house always wins.

I have no desire to be shorn...

I almost never buy a lottery ticket, but I bought 2 for tonight.

9 MINUTES TO GO!!!!!!!

that's alright, I already won

But then again, what if NO ONE WINS again?

Will we be back here next Tuesday again when it hits 2 BILLION?????

I normally don't other than an occasional scratch off, but yesterday 5 of us from work went in $20 each.

What the hell, right?

Yes definitely!

If you win are you going to tell GLP or keep it to yourself?!

I think I'll sign my ticket and then tell all of you.

The only remotely logical way to play is to always buy a single quick pick for a specific game ... Regularly.

It's logical to wager one to 3 dollars because someone wins and it could be you ... it's worth the statistical chance when you play regularly, even when the jackpot is small ... for example $6 each week for a year is $312. You' win most of that back eventually on small prizes.

There's no logic or advantage to picking any particular number.

There's no reason to buy more than one chance.

That said, I only buy one when it's big. I can't keep track of shit as it is, I'd never be able to remember which days the drawing was on if it wasn't on the news.

Made the decision yesterday, put all my life savings into it.

Im guessing i got pretty good odds, want to be a winner too

[\sarcasm]

Nice so what do us longtimers get if you hit it? lemme guess

He's going to get high, you're going to get disappointed. Money spent how again?

No.

I looked at the odds and figured that purchasing enough tickets would potentially relegate the probability of my win to being struck by lightning twice while a shark is biting me in my plane that is crashing.

Then I realized, my personal lottery win would be me in the center of an LJS/Jazzy sandwich. The probability of the latter is 0%, so I just said fuck it and started drinking beer.

Now I'm on to bourbon.

Did any of you win?

Not even $2.

I had three of the white numbers, but they were spread across 3 different picks.
