I'm in with a pool from work.
Chances, of course, are dismal, but the point here is if THOSE guys won and I WEREN'T in the pool, it would be excruciating. It's worth a few thrown away dollars to make such a tragedy impossible.
I have people there buying numbers for PowerBall that I dreamt I won it with 5 yrs ago with the agreement we split 50/50 a win.
Oh, this is way too funny not to share. The guy organizing our pool sent out an email message with the title, "We Won". It goes on to say:<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Quote:
$25!!!! The really good news is that Saturday's PowerBall jackpot is now up to $365,000,000 ($177,300,000 cash option). While Wednesday's ROI may seem disappointing, it is within historical industry norms and within the low end of our guidance. Let me assure all shareholders that the process of ticket purchasing is under constant review and continual refinement in order to achieve executional excellence resulting in pure blind luck to purchase the winning jackpot ticket. We will pursue the recently implemented strategy of expanding to multiple geographies and reinvesting our winnings towards achieving ultimate performance, namely winning the jackpot!
Enrollment is open through EOB Friday (which may be earlier than usual).
A couple days ago, I'm in the corner store in the hood, and I'm buying my Megamillions, which currently stands at a paltry $100mm+.
I buy one $1 ticket, because I figure if the Good Lord really, really wants me to win, all I need is one ticket.
Anyway, I make mention of those who spend lots of money on tickets and the guy behind the counter tells me that the numbers who bet a *lot* of cash on these things are many. He says it's not uncommon to see people from the hood walk in an plop down $100.
Actually, the Mega Millions Jackpot is at $145 million.
