Default Powerball Lottery and an Extremely Long Lunch!

What to do with $180 million?

The Extremely Long Lunch!

Taking place on a private island all my own, should I win tonight's
Powerball lottery!

You'll all invited! Come by air or boat. All expenses paid!

I've got a whole $1.00 riding on it so keep your fingers crossed!!!

First course: A few days of Maine lobster, crabcakes, blue box mac &
cheese, zillions of beef and chicken taquitos with all the beer and wine in
the world you can drink. Followed by a few days of any way you want 'em
omelettes, meatloaf, pizzas and pastas, or your choise of caviar and
truffle and crackers, accompanied with martinis, rum 'n' cokes and sea
breezes or tequilla sunrises for the daring among the membership, and the
free fridays, "Demand what you desire!" meals. And YES we do serve waffles
at all hours!

Clothing is provided but optional.

Andy, do you have "lucky numbers" (not that they were lucky for you)
or do you take what the machine gives you?

sf,

I just got a quick pick from the machine. I don't think any numbers are
lucky.

I only play when the large jackpot gets way up there. I'm $3 in the hole
this year. I'd better win soon dammit!!! I manage a lotto bankroll for a
mate in Australia and I get 10% of his winnings, so I don't feel a need to
play. In the seven years that I've managed his bankroll, He's lost over
$1,000. I've probably won about $5.00. He'll have me drive over the bridge
to get New Jersey lotto tickets. I charge him for gas and tolls. If he wins
$3 it will cost him $9.00 for me to drive back to cash it in (+ my 10%).
He's crazy! It's cheaper to throw the ticket in the trash. This year I told
him I'm not driving to New Jersey. Did him a favor.

I see people buying every daily lottery and scratch off games, etc., with
such reckless abandon it just boggles the mind!

The lottery is for people who don't know math!

Andy

It's also for people filling time. I don't pay much attention to what
the jackpot is, I'd be perfectly happy even at it's base level. I only
get lottery tickets when I get gas at my regular gas station. Start the
pump pumping and then go inside and get 1 Lotto and 1 Mega Millions and
by the time I get back out to the truck the pump is almost finished. I
figure it adds up to around $50/year, whoop dee doo.
