If so..

Tell me about it.

I'm already salty.

Because my parents get me a few tickets every Christmas.

And I have never won.

Anything...

Bah humbug

I won the hot wife lottery.

Where do you buy the tickets for that? 

Match.com

I win the lottery every day.  Every ticket I don't buy wins me a dollar

I won the mad wife lottery. Want some tickets for that?

I have had winning tickets several times...3 and 4 dollars here and there

it isn't as exciting as you would imagine

I worked with this house painter who loved scratch off tickets.  On pay day he would literally spend $100 on scratchers.

I was with him once during this bizarre scratching ritual, and he won $20 on a ticket.  He started going crazy...

"Can you believe it, I won $20!!!"   

"Dude, you lost $80..."

"No man, look: its a $20 winner!"

Apparently I will never know 

I'll play the multistate like Powerball and Megamillions lotteries once they get around $175M, because if I remember my statistics classes from school at all that's about the point when the chances of winning versus payoff:investment ratio start aligning.  In all the times that I've played (figure four to six times per year going back 5 years), I've won $7.  I spent a couple minutes being excited, stuffed the ticket in my pocket to cash out later, and then promptly lost the ticket.

Sucks to see the horror stories of lottery winners.  I remember one had his kids kill a parent for the money.  People going broke within 2 yrs of winning.  You win, stay working, put a good size chunk into different savings accounts, invest some, pay off debt, by a house that's not gonna be more in taxes then a quarter your yearly salary..

My wife's best friend from childhood won -- not that they needed it -- her husband is a surgeon.  They won something like $60mil after taxes.

They promptly set up a trust, and the trust claimed the lottery win.  They bought a couple of houses in Miami and LA and some nice cars.  They still have most of it.  They both still work.

I would hire someone to tender my resignation to my employer and never look back

If everything goes according to plan, I'll win it tonight.

I'll let you know what it feels like.
