So I heard quick picks are usually winners. So I bought 1 ticket for last wednesday's drawing instead of playing my usual numbers(was my social security numbers brokedown) Dang I woulda had 3 numbers. The payout would be $7. I prefer state lotto's too over Powerball.

Suckers game. I give my dollars to Harvesters (food bank) not the lottery.

Wonder how many fools are selling cars, or trying for second mortgages to buy tickets?

I did buy two tickets, but I swear I didnt have to sell anything or take out a second mortgage to do it.

Quick pick is when the machine automatically/randomly picks the numbers for you. Powerball tickets are $2 each. A sheet/paper to fill out with numbers you pick by marking out boxes/numbers is provided by the store where you buy tickets.

[strollingbones]

i feel for grumpy but he can do math and i swear if that fucker wins and dumps me.....i will go all gloria alred on his ass

 

[strollingbones]

i pretty much make regular donations to the local food bank......i am not a big time donor but i do what i can...i would love to be able to give a huge donation to several things...

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

I give them money every single time I goto the grocery store. Money well spent

 

[strollingbones]

they have boxes here or prepackaged bags of food to donate....i try to always toss one in...6 bucks worth of dreams....

 

[strollingbones]

you can tell i dont buy tickets often...sometimes a quick scratch ticket but i got pissed when i found out they expire..and i left mine in the glove till it expired....lost a dollar..damn it....

now if you won....would you get your lawyer to claim it....for ya...i would....i would drive to her office and make her do it all....i would be terrified of losing it...

I would donate if I won such a large amount, but I would wait until the emotional part of winning was over and I was thinking with a clear mind again.
I would however break it up right from the start and have checks issued to a couple people I know. Family, then there are a couple of 20 some year old girls that I know that would put it to good use, so I would give them a couple million each. other than that? Im not giving to anyone or any organization right away.

i think i could manage not to blow 585 million in one evening even with hookers and coke!
