I am. Not going to win but the dreams of doing so are nice...they involve nobody ever having to pay for a place to stay at DITR ever again...

Wow, thanks Dave!

Yeah well, like the 99.999999%, I won't win, but I have already compiled a mental list of items to spend the winnings on...

Well, my t-shirt went away so I can just wear the leg on my back.

Maybe sharpen it and put it on the mantle.

in my dreaming of winning...1st...I have a VERY good tax attorny friend of mine who will be my hired consiliary ( or consigiliary of you choose to call it that from reference of film)....I would pay off bills and I would make sure I have a modest secured home for me and my family.

I might then buy a large ass piece of property on which I might plan for a large garage and a private track for which to use things that are in the garage on.

When I win $600 million next time around, here is my quote for the press: "I plan to buy a new car. Every single day for the next 65 years."

What's are the odds of winning if you don't buy a ticket?  That's how I play.

I found a winning one dollar scratch off.  Waiting for the right moment to parlay my winning.

I hit the Powerball.

Unfortunately, that was the only one I hit.

Oh well, can't complain about winning 12 bucks I guess.
