What’s anybody doing even playing the lottery at 84? What’s the point?

Thank goodness an illegal alien didn’t win the jackpot...

Great episode of Married With Children where Peg and Al buy tickets for the big jackpot and go home to watch the drawing.

"And the winner is.....Habib Ramsalamsampiddlepon.
And imagine that, after just two days in the country!"

Not surprisingly, that line has been edited out of reruns in syndication.

“She’s about to hear from relatives she never new she had.”

That’s horrible. How could anyone do that to my aunt?

Because she loves me. Duh.

Seriously, wouldn’t have been a hoot if she couldn’t remember where she put it?

Her kids would have found it in her room and tossed it without a second look.

She’ll get a facelift hoping to be 30 again and some gigolo from New Jersey will scam her for everything...She’ll spend her days plucking chickens at some BBQ grease joint in Mississippi.

She did. The before tax lump sum is just over $378 million. After taxes it would be about $225 million or so.

Depends on whether they were playing their own numbers or let the computer randomly generate them.

Nah, more to be made by stringing it out of 20 years, doncha think?

I DO hope her kids and grandkids have always been kind to her and not suddenly find how much they love dear old mom/granny.

She should have given the ticket to her kids and let them shower her with lots of perks. As it is, she’ll be taxed now and in a few short years (sadly) her kids will be paying inheritance tax.
