I Played The Lotto And Guess What?

August 31st, 2009 4 comments

Yeah, that’s right…I lost.

The Mega Millions lottery was up to $333 million dollars, which means that, by law, I had to play.  

Okay, not really, but that number was large enough to entice me to get a pool together at work and purchase a few tickets.

The odds of winning was 1 in 175 million, but that didn’t dissuade me from plunking down $5 for the chance of winning (after splitting the win and before taxes) $60+ million.  

If I ever do win the lottery, I’d like to purchase:

1: The fastest Corvette in existence
2: A trebuchet to hurl pianos and large kitchen appliances at my annoying neighbors
3: My own downtown art house movie theater

*Sigh*  I guess I can still dream, can’t I?

Oddly enough, a few week ago my folks won several thousand dollars in the local lottery, so winning is theoretically possible, just not very probable.
