When Powerball (I think) got up to 250 million, a bunch of us at work went together and got tickets. We had around 500 tickets total.

We obviously didn't win

There's plenty on the board.

I bought a lottery ticket in Europe.

I didn't but I definitely know what winners go thru a bit...

I tell a friend that I won a lottery ( ok, it is not money it's just some raffle thing).  Before I can clarify, she stops me in mid sentence and says "You have got to give $5000 ! "    Wow note to self , if I ever win, make it secret and no way show your face on camera and put it in a trust.

Was that actually yours or did you find that pic on the interwebz?

I was born healthy in the U.S. to parents who could pay to put me through college & grad school. If I didn't use up my lifetime allotment of good luck right there, I'm pretty damn close.

I've tossed in a buck or two when folks in my office have pooled money for tickets - I do it both because it's a social thing, and because it's worth a dollar to fantasize about what I'd do if the numbers came up. Pretty much the same reason I look at ads for bikes I can't afford.

On the other hand, my father has a doctorate in nuclear chemistry and is one of the tiny fraction of numerically smart people I have ever met who can actually conceptualize the idea of a one-in-seventy-five-million chance of winning, and he buys a couple of tickets a month, so what do I know?

That's cool I wish I could do that. I have a very, very IZ_ concept of what 75 million is.

 My friend's father in-law won 2million on nickle slots. He also won 10k on a different trip. Not the lottery, but still pretty cool.

It's not changing back. Lethe did you change it?

What are the odds of winning if you don't buy a ticket?  I like a real challenge.....
