Did you all buy your ticket for the Mega Millions? If any of us wins, lets have one big rousing camp-in somewhere, ok??? All expenses paid, of course!!!

The lottery is a tax on people who didn't pay attention in their math class.

Sorry to say but.. id sell or give mine away and get a giant duel pusher axle motor coach. I think one of those would be a blast to road trip in with like 10 people.

Wow! I will have to think about that question. Actually, my first thought was to buy a huge piece of land somewhere, set up a campground and invite all my TM friends to camp for free!! But, then I thought maybe I would need two campgrounds, one here in the East and one in the West somewhere centralized.
Not really interested in a big hugemongous motor home but might get a bigger, nicer truck to pull my TM with.

I think that's the case for those who spend alot of money on tickets. Otherwise, I view buying tickets as entertainment -- you don't have anything to show for your $30-$40 you spend going to the movies, either.

And foisted on the voter as more(actually less) funds for education.

I had an acquaintance who worked in the state lottery office. He had a slightly different take than mine, a bit closer to ShrimpBurrito - "We sell dreams, mostly unfulfilled."

Which it does. And since buying a lottery ticket is completely voluntary, it really isn't "foisted" on anyone. If people want to kick in some money for education and get a false hope in the process, who am i to argue?

75% of the million dollar athletes are BROKE in 6 years. People that will win any million dollars or more, as years go by they are no happier then we are on the TM forum. Life has to be put in perspective as long you can do what you enjoy (like we do here) and have your health, you just can’t ask for anymore.

OK!!! I bought ONE ticket, Shoot ME....

HA!! It only takes one ticket! And if you don't have a ticket, you can't win!
There is nothing wrong with dreaming as long as you don't lose sight of reality!!
Too bad they don't make a winner for every $10mil that is in the pot!!

In the PA lottery 100 % of the money - beyond cost of award- go to senior citizen programs.
With the Mega lottery the odds are one chance in 176 million, seems a bit long eh?
