I'm tired of waiting 10 minutes in line at the gas station just to buy cigarettes.

Much of the money from those who purchase lotto tickets goes to the UNIONS.

We Chicago fans have felt the Maple Leafs pain.

What’s with them anyway? Really crappy ownership? That was the Blackhawks problem, we won after the senile old owner died. The jerk wouldn’t put home games on tv!!

You’ve got me thinking, have mega jackpots every day, and slot machines and video poker in every city and you could effect a major shift in the tax burden.

At least, that’s my plan. No sports cars, cheap babes, or booze.

To paraphrase a "Hee Haw" cornfield skit...'you may not live to 100, but it'll sure feel that way.'

I saw on twitter how they were saying from the Official Mega Millions Jackpot center there was NO winner, but then someone from Kansas reported to have won, so not sure what to believe at this point.

I think there is hope for the Laffs - they have some decent prospects, and they have a high draft pick this year (and probably next). So they'll eventually get things turned around.

Yeah unless you draft badly having high picks every year WILL turn you around. Worked for Hawks (and the Tampa Bay Rays)

I wouldn’t hold it. Never know what tomorrow will be and I’d hire Patti LaBelle’s bodyguards.

I’m tired of waiting in line behind people buying cigarettes. Then I remember that quicky stores survive on people wasting their money on lottery tickets and cigarettes.

Yep, in Baltimore County according to officials. Meanwhile 29 Californians(Unfortunately I am not one of them) matched 5 of the numbers

“Nah, I’d buy a hockey team, instead.”

Not me, I’m buying a women’s roller derby team!

I bought 2 tickets...I didn’t even hit 1 number.

I’ve always sucked at gambling.

I got 1 number, yay!!!

I won 3 bucks once.

Never been to a casino. I don’t think I’d have fun.

Betting on sporting events would probably get me my legs broke. ;d
