Can you believe it? Duh.

I buy a ticket when I get down to Colorado and I actually have cash in my pocket. How many of you guys actually play?

Smart man. I figure $5 every couple of months doesn't hurt though. It's no worse than spending the money on video games or buying cigarettes (not trying to start an argument with smokers).

Some people have a problem spending way to much thinking they really might win. I don't think I'll win, but I wouldn't cry if I did.

It's always someone on the East side of the US that always wins it. Bout the only way you can win it is have 300 or more people/employees fill in a card.

I believe the lottery is a tax for people who are bad at math.

Only play every once in a great while (like once every 6 months or so), what the heck someone's gonna win it anyway so it could be me, but it hasn't been yet. Sure would be nice though.

Since we don't have one in Alabama I will buy a few tickets when I travel. I have a few friends that travel every eight weeks to Georgia just to get tickets.
