The more you buy the more chances you have at winning good luck and dont go overboard with it.

Well, next time it gets up that high, you can buy that many tickets plus 45% for taxes, and hope you're the only one with the winning numbers, so you can break even.

There is a better chance you'll get struck by lightning than winning the lotto.

$2500 or so, a few other people hit it at the same time or it would have been more. One number away from a few million!



I don't really think of it that way. I used the money to pay for CNA (Certified Netware Administrator) training and I have never once served as a Netware admin. Ah well it got my foot in the door so to speak and look at me! I'm unemployed and in college! WHOOO HOOO!
