Lotto

Apr 30, 2009 09:32

So last night in my semi-inebriated and lackluster state of being I decided to buy a lottery ticket. Why you might ask. You see I know that the odds of winning the lottery are astronomical. Ok well astronomical is a huge size, but it is very large. If I remember correctly it was somewhere around 195 million give or take a few hundred thousand ( Read more... )

Hey it could happen............ double_iris April 30 2009, 18:17:26 UTC

I think the first thing I would do if I won enough money to quit is travel. To where? Who cares, but who wants to come? Anyone?

I'm rdy! let's go! I'll need some $$ for bills but rich guy like u it'll be pocket change.

Next I think I would buy a house? Maybe. Where though? Portland? San Diego? Norther California? Anywhere really? That's a possibility.

Your not thinking rich. Think all of them.

You are so wise! I didn't even think about owning a house in all 3! Oh man. That is so on the list!

I hope you win. Be nice to say I know someone who won big.

Last night I went to CPK and they are having this silly thing where they give you a thank you card with a prize in it but you can only see what the prize is when you come back and have a manager open it. top prize is $50,000. We only got 20% of. oh well we did get a new card...maybe next time

Mmm. I'd take 50k. The Oregon lottery did this thing around St. Patrick's day where they sold raffle tickets and so unlike the lottery someone was guaranteed to win $1 million. I mean 250,000 tickets were sold, but that's way better odds than the lotto and a guaranteed winner. I never bought one though...bummer.

Always next time, just like the CPK cards.

I'm just saying... unseenoyster May 1 2009, 08:45:47 UTC

dude you should totally buy a couple of houses. Or perhaps a bunch of small reasonably priced houses all over the place. You know a one or two bedroom set up in all the places you like to visit the most. That way any traveling that turns into an extended stay (it's the way I prefer to "travel") will have the comforts of home and no continual hotel fees.
