We can't play because my husband works for the lottery. So I am trying not to think about it!

Have never bought a lottery ticket in my entire life. I like the idea of having enough $$ to do whatever I want, but the odds against winning always turn me off.

I'd like to help out the ASPCA. Maybe come tax time I will send them something, if I can.

don't want to kknow I get so depressed when I don't win anything again.

But i would begin work on an electric storage device to use for a space elevator. No really big plans lol.

I won! I won! :D

Okay, so $8 isn't exactly the jackpot, but still: I won! :thumbup: he he I'll try not to spend it all in one place. ;)

(Let's not discuss that I paid $15 for the tickets! LOL!)

A win is a win in my opinion. CONGRATS!

Of course I KNOW there are many who will not agree with me.

Years ago, I read of a young couple who won pretty big in a lottery, and how they gave a specific amount to each family member every January first. Everyone in the family got the same amount and they all understood not to ask for any more money throughout the year. It was working well for this young couple because there were no jealousies over "who go how much money, and I only got this much", ect.
So I made a list of family members and there are 24 people. If I gave each $10,000 a year, that's almost a quarter of a million dollars a year! So I really need to win big! No luck so far.
