    All of you actually throw your money away by playing the lottery? I'm disappointed. I expected better of PJ fans. I spent most of my life in the "gamblingest" state: Year after year, Rhode Islanders consistently wasted a larger percentage of their income than the residents of any other state. Now that RI's unemployment rate is over 11%, I'm curious to know if folks have stopped disposing of their disposable income. All that money they pissed away could have gone into a savings account, CD, etc.

    Partially relevant: RI has FINALLY outlawed greyhound racing! Welcome to the 1980s.


    Yeah, because of small percentage of financially inept idiots ruined their lives means we should stop gambling all together...

    Brilliant!

    I suppose we should outlaw alcohol because there are drunks out there...

    I'm sorry, I have no sympathy for fuckin morons. If you hawk away your money to win big on the lotto then you are what is defined as what does not evolve. You are NOT the fittest, but the DUMBEST.

    I spend perhaps $2 total on the lotto each year (I'm now 28) so a total of $20 has been spent...usually on a $150 million+ sum.
    My god, just think of what could have been done with that money!!! :shock:

    Shit, I've probably made more money typing this response than I've lost in lotto in 10 years...


    Again, if you rely on the lotto or dogs for your success...you are exactly what is wrong with this economy...and I fully blame you (the stupid).

    :roll: spare me, man. i spent one dollar & i can count how many tickets i've bought in my life on one hand.

    Ah, then you are not the typical "All of you" I had pictured. You remind me of me: I had to consider myself a smoker in the early 'noughties because I enjoyed zero to two cigarettes per day.


    um, no. we aren't alike.

    i don't need that much...just give me a couple million, maybe 5, and I can get my family and myself set for life :-) I'm not greedy 8-)
    Fuck that! I want a giant house where every room is a ball pit, and has 10 flatscreens in each one, and a crystal throne (with a cushion of course).

    Hmm... aside from cashing out, I wonder if you'd get a better return on your investment to take the all-at-once payment into stocks/bonds/etc or if you'd get a better return leaving it with them and getting annual payments. Sounds like the former to me.

    I'd cash-out and diversify....put a lot of it into gold, and take physical delivery of the gold. In case things in this country were to collapse, gold would be very negotiable.

    I did buy the ticket, and I did pick those numbers dude. I won $10,000. The fucked up part is if I would have picked 56 instead of 55 I would have won 170 million dollars. And now I get to be the asshole for complaining cause I "only" won $10,0000. Guess not a lot of people get the fact that I picked these numbers, I got them all except the last one, and I was only off by 1.

    you won $10K? is that all? I should have thought you would have won more. Congratulations!
    was it random or did you pick those?

    250 million tuesday! I wouldn't mind just winning $250K, I'd be content. I'd get me a house closer to work so I could go home for lunch and therefore let out my 5 german shepherds b/c it's a bad area...

    I thought it would be more too! Apparently if you get 5 numbers but not the MegaBall you get the $250k, if you get 4 numbers and the MegaMall its $10k. Still getting 5 out of 6 either way. But yes, I picked those numbers myself, what are the odds I'd get THAT close and only be off by 1 digit for all that money.

    Mega Millions results for Tuesday, August 25
    by The Jersey Journal Tuesday August 25, 2009, 11:18 PM
    Tonight's Mega Millions numbers are:

    3-12-19-22-40. Mega Ball: 2.

    The grand-prize jackpot tonight is $252 million with a nearly $160 million lump-sum cash payment option.

    If no one wins the top prize tonight by matching all five numbers and the Mega Ball, the jackpot will continue to grow for the next drawing, on Tuesday.

    The multistate lottery hasn't had a grand-prize winner since July 7.
