Did we use to put gangsters in jail for “running the numbers”?

I rarely every buy a lottery ticket. I bought two last night. I matched ONE number, on ONE card. lol I was SO close!

No thanks

I remember my finite math class and we explored the odds of winning the lottery. At that time it was 14 million to 1. And the likelihood of winning was the same as getting struck by lightening in your bathtub. Twice.

I have noticed year after year when the holiday season rolls around it tends to go unwon until it reaches an enormous sum which is then won around Xmas or new years. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
