    Dude, just buy it. No one will know if you lose and if you win, you'll have enough money to tell the agency to go fuck themselves. It's completely unenforceable.

    I'm curious how many more people play lotto on Saturday than on Wednesday......

    If I won the lottery...

    Pay off all of our outstanding debts. Buy 5 acres on land on a water front somewhere and build our dream house. Buy new cars for me and my wife (nice vehicles, but nothing too outrageous). Pay off the mortgages for our kids' homes. Pay off our daughter's student loan. Give a million each to a few select charities and a million to a homeless shelter. Quit my job. Take road trips all over North America. Travel to a few select places in Europe (Ireland, Switzerland, Norway, maybe France and Germany). Create trust funds for our grandchildren's college education. Invest the rest in a conservative growth fund and live off the interest.

    Sounds like the USSR lottery ...

    A loaf of bread for everyone. It's fine underneath -- just scrape off that mold.

    I want to say that the reason that went so viral is people making fun of it being wrong, not people thinking it's right.

    But maybe I am giving people too much credit.

    I wonder how many people who don't usually play the lottery become regular players of other games such as daily numbers and instant tickets after a big jackpot like this.

    The real winners, of course, are going to be the kids and education.

    Do you think anyone here needed you to explain that? Good lord.
