Lotteries and Gambling

[Abbie Normal]

The Mega Millions is now up to $252 millions dollars. $159 cash option.


I know I will most likely lose, but I like to throw around $10 when it gets above $150 million.


If I win, I will invite many of my friends from Joblo to an all expenses paid trip to CA. We can all get together and watch some movie premiere and just have the best fucking time. Maybe head over to Vegas and get some of you laid at the Bunny Ranch. Never been there. Could be fun. So let's all root for Abbie Normal to have the winning numbers.


Any of you play the lottery or those scratch offs or gamble at all?

[Badbird]

I throw a few bucks at Powerball. I know some people think it's the stupidest thing you can do and that it's a waste of money, but it's not like I'm spending all my money on it, or wasting my life away at a casino.

My feeling is that even though the odds are against you, someone has to win. Someone always wins. Why not me? We'll see.

I'm a punter on the nags, but will throw a couple of dollars on the lotteries when they increase in value.

[John Galt]

Sure, I gamble. Horses, blackjack, keno, and occasionally craps or roulette.
Haven't been to Atlantic City in a while. I was in Vegas a year ago and tripled my money at Harrah's.
I then blew quite a bit of it at Rhino Bar(strip club). :cool:

The lottery/mega millions yeah, it is up there and if no one hits I may buy a few.

I buy a scratch off, on average, maybe once a year and usually win something - generally cashing in for more scratch offs beyond getting my dollar back. I've played Lotto before, but not seriously like most people seem to be.

I actually just bought a lotto ticket for the first time last week, I didn't win, which wasn't a surprise. Other than that, I've never bought a scratch off, only been to the casinos a few times.

I've always told my close friends that if I won a huge lotto I would pick them up from work in a helicopter, go to the airport and play airport roulette.

Spent 11 bucks and the best I did was 2 numbers on one game. No one won, so the jackpot is now like $325 million with a cash option of $200. I will play again and the same deal applies. I am serious about spending big money to get a bunch of us together for a movie premiere, so let's start wishing Abbie some luck.

If I won, before I started the first day of my short and happy life, I would set up retirement accounts for all the liberals in our government on the condition that they retire RIGHT NOW.

good luck Abbie (assuming I'm on the list of invitees. If I'm not... I retract that statement)

I played a lot of poker in high school, before it got real popular because of espn. When I went to college and everyone was hooked on the WSOP and wanted to play, I made a lot of money just cause I was more experienced than the "newbs." Then, as other students played more, I realized I'm not very good... they were just bad at first. I was able to take advantage of college kids who were just getting into it (Foxwoods is a great place for that) but when I sit down with actually good poker players, I get owned (Bellagio in AC).

Sure thing Darth. If I win, you can come. I will fly you first class too.

If you win, can you just buy me a beer?

Only if you take Zombie out with you as well.
