I think I can afford to waste $2.00 to buy a dream.
Ah, yes. The Lottery, casinos, and gentleman's clubs - they're all there for the same reason, and achieve their goals in exactly the same way. And the chances of you actually achieving the dream of being jackpot lucky is about the same at any of them.

What people want to spend their money on is irrelevant. They can spend their money on whatever they like. The only complaint I have is how the states hoodwink people into buying tickets with lies, fraud and shell games.
Kind of like going to the Casino ... You know the odds going in .... If don't like the Lottery ..fine Don't play it ... But if You smoke the rest of us have to smell the 2nd hand smoke off your clothes or in the air ... like i said JMO ...

I dropped 20 to buy my dream.

Thats my point its your choice to buy the lottery tickets ... after you lose only your wallet feels the pain ...
Blowing 2nd smoke into the air or the smell off your clothes others have to deal with it ... now understand i don't Hate smokers .. i have several friends that do it ... thats fine ..
I would just rather spend a few dollars on the lottery if i chose ... but someone coming on EO saying how big a ripoff the lottery is ... WE know our odd chances are extremely low ... but the EO POLICE has no right telling me i still shouldn't buy a ticket or 2 .... again JMO

Smoking and lottery tickets have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with each other.

No, I didn't change any EO posting rights. :rolleyes:

Off-topic is still off-topic, same as it always was. You want to talk about smoking, start a thread.

The door was opened for that when Rags brought up spending money on dreams.

This thread is about spending money on lottery tickets. You want to whine about second hand smoke, start a thread on it, but you will not talk about it off-topic in here, nor will you be able to continue to engage in a pissing contest with me in this thread.

Sorry, don't see a correlation between lottery tickets and second hand smoke.

Bought some for yesterday's drawing, but didn't win anything. Not sure of I'll try for the 1.3 B. If I get the chance to buy one before the drawing I will.

I'd think that for whoever wins, they might wanna think about disappearing for a bit after they collect their money. I'd have relatives clawing their way into my house If they knew I had that kind of cash. Holy smokes...

The way to do it is to create a quick LLC with only your attorney's name listed as the contact, and have the LLC claim the money. That way you can remain anonymous.

I seem to recall this being tried. I don't think it worked. The winner had to go public.

May depend whether it is a power ball being multiple states verses a state specific lottery? Would have to research for a answer.
