220,000,000

[yaroa]

The lottery jackpot in my state (New Jersey), is up to 220 millions.
By the responses to another thread, I assume that a lot of you don't believe in playing the lottery.
A bunch of guys at my job pooled our money to play and I got to tell you that all the daydreaming that we did today, was worth the five bucks. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif
Odds 76,000,000 to One http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

I can tell you I would not be going back to work. I can find plenty to keep me busy with those kinds of funds.

Good luck.

I've heard that the odds of winning that are better than being struck by lightning and bit by a rattlesnake in the same day. And people still buy tickets for it. Guess somebody has to win.

Matter of fact somebody does win eventually, but...only those that have tickets...as they say in Canada

You don't win if you don't buy a ticket! you can take that to the bank.

hehe jad, i would go back to work, just because I could! maybe by helicopter, and then tell everyone that I'm earning more per hour in interest than they make in a month. oh yes.

PS With that money, you could give 80% to charity and still live in ridiculous luxury...

Hey if you want to be a Millionair just quit spending money on lottery tickets and you will be rich in no time! especially if you put all of your paycheck into it all the time And you will spend money on more imporant things. Like food!

But the lottery is a game. It's fun to play win or lose. It has nothing to do with making money. If we wanted to make money we'd work 80 hours a week. We want to have fun and daydream like yaroa said.

If the odds are really 76 million to one, just buy 76 million tickets... would still make 160 mil http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/wink.gif (yeah yeah, if you had 76 million dollars to spend why play right?)

[yaroa]

Pepto, it's now up to 300 mil, my lottery budget is less that 76 mil. Does anybody have Bill G number? http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

The bummer is that with the post office closed on Sunday, I'll never get five bucks to yaroa by Tuesday. http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/frown.gif
