She can go crap in her hat. The only reason why I even bothered to buy tickets was because my wife actually had $14 cash in her purse when I walked out the door for a grocery run and she stuck it in my hand for that purpose; otherwise, I wouldn't have molested an ATM to waste on it.

How did I know before I even went there?

I won on the biggest Powerball in history.

I spent $3.00 for a single ticket and collected $8.00!
(my powerball quick pick paid off-big time)

But I just bought the one ticket.
A cross between a poor tax, and paying for a day dream.

There was a guy next to me in line, running a fist full of lotto tickets through the “possible winner self check machine”. He didn't look like he could afford to gamble the money.
It was sad to watch him in action, while the clerk and I were joking about my winnings.
