Badlands Bob #61228 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 I wish to thank all of you lottery ticket buyers for helping to put both of my kids through college. It didn't pay everything but it paid a lot. I've never bought a lottery ticket but I consider myself a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 If I won that money… I don’t know why I even bother fantasizing about it. I never win. Hell, I am lucky to get a free ticket once in a while. But, I keep buying them. I figure it goes to a good cause. 25% of it, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Kloehr Posted November 1, 2022 Share Posted November 1, 2022 Bought 2 tickets. Got one number right. For even more entertainment value, the day after someone wins, go buy a ticket with the winning numbers and ask someone to double-check them against the winning numbers. See how long it takes for someone to notice the ticket is not for the right date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every one of them is a winner in the $30K - $50K range. I gave three of them out once as "door prizes" at a cowboy match. One figured it out before scratching off the ticket. One scratched the ticket revealing a $50,000 fake prize and quietly stuck it in his wallet with no facial expression at all. The other scratched his revealing a $30K fake prize. He became very animated and excited...until I suggested that he read the back. He was disappointed by thought it was funny. He said he'd get me back...he did, a year later.

Yeah there was a guy in Mass who won a lottery prize and “rented” a huge pile of losing tickets to offset the winnings. How do I know about it? He got caught.

Cypress Sun Posted November 2, 2022 Author Share Posted November 2, 2022 1.2 billion dollars in $100 bills would weigh about 26,400 lbs. I would have to start working out to lug all that money around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
