Sounds like a lot of money until you stop and think that the federal government is spending that amount in less than 44 minutes every single day.

Your share of the national debt has increased by $6,180 from 10/1 - 9/30/09. Have you told your kids and grand kids they will be paying back your share in addition to their own?

Limit all politicians to two terms. One in office, one in prison. Follow the lead of Illinois...

I bought a couple tickets yesterday. Of course if I were to win, take the lump sum, and subtract taxes, I figure I'd net only a paltry $100 million. I doubt that would even buy me a ride on Bill Gates' golf cart.

I bought $20 worth of Quick Pick today. I can't remember the last time I bought a lottery ticket.


Just one more sip.

If I win, I have a list of forumites I'm going to pay to pubicly humiliate themselves.

P.S. I mean in public places other than here. That's covered for free. Cool

I broke down and bought $20 worth. I usually just participate in the collections around the office to pool money together. This is the first time I have bought my own ticket in a long time.
