Last Chance at a big jackpot before King O gets his tax increases on Millionaires and Billionaires! Of course I would take care of family, friends, Charities...then I guess End Freepathons....donate large amounts of money in 2014 to Conervative Primary challengers of Republican Incumbents. LOL....

I don’t normally get into this type of thing but even I may buy a ticket.

[DManA]

Fools. Every dime you throw into this waste basket feeds the beast.

All the proles in Oceania waited eagerly for the Ministry of Plenty to announce the lottery winner.

[BipolarBob]

My retirement plans are finally starting to see fruition. Just when I was losing hope.

Buying lottery tickets is a complete waste of time and money.

[TomGuy]

Look for 2 days of news covering the long lines to purchase ticket.

[I got 2 at a local convenience store early this morning. No lines at all. $4 at a chance for $425 million. Sure, why not.]

[CtBigPat]

$425 million

With that kind of money, I could pay most of my bills!

[Jim Noble]

It’s not much of a retirement plan, but it is what it is.

[LadyBuck]

Meh, as I frequently tell the Libbie relatives (if I ever hit the jackpot),

“I love ya, but I’m sure going to miss ya”.

[Fresh Wind]

Darn, I was going to play those exact numbers, but I forgot.

Lump-sum payout, looking at in the neighborhood of $145M cash after taxes. Worth the $2 just for the entertainment value of dreaming about having that kind of scratch.

I love the lotto haters!..‘it’s a stupid tax people”! ...“it’s a tax on people who can’t do math”.. So pompous and self-righteous. For the past couple of years I have played Mega Millions and Powerball to the tune of $6 whole dollars a week (total)…big friggen deal! Yes, I have heard “smart” guys explain how much all that money would amount to if I just saved it and earned interest on it…really?

Look, for a few bucks a week I get to dream about wonderful things I could do for my family and friends that I simple couldn’t do otherwise. It’s fun to “be in it” even if the odds of winning are slim.
And about those odds,….How much time, money and effort do you spend on presidential elections? Hmmm…..and how many presidential “winners” have there been in the history of the country? Talk about “feeding the beast”! I guess we should teach our children that aspiring to be president is just stupid since the odds are extremely slim.

For me, it’s an easy bet and a happy day dream…even if I never win.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

With my luck I have a great chance of winning. Of course 425 million other people would all have the same numbers.

The golf ball must fall on some blade of grass.
