True. If 7 million people each have a deck of cards, each person's odds of cutting the ace of spades is 1-in-52. More people playing just means more people will come up with the ace.

Brain fart earlier. Must be old age.

I know exactly how I'd spend a million, I'd struggle to spend more than five.

I'd have no use for this since I'd probably do what ive done in the past anyway.

EXACTLY. However I could get one local tomorrow. ALL the others would most likely be ordered. We don't have many ferraris or Buggatis here in Portland:-)

I've wanted a 911 since 84 when I saw one at the dealership in highschool. A dream car of mine.

Lol. Guy at work mentioned doing that. I told him to put it in a video poker machine and he would have a better chance of a return.

It's not called the poor tax for nothing.
People who buy tickets are often the ones least able to afford it - it's their only tangible hope of getting large amounts of money legally.

Buy large tracts of rural land.

Guess who I'm calling if I win ?!!! So you best hurry up out of that hospital with your black socks... I might need you...
I'm home - better news than I was expecting!!

So playing costs more and you have much worse odds of winning.

If I could remember what show it was - there was a scene where a bunch of cops all win the lotto because they accidents printed out the same winning ticket thousands of times lol...

But each cop comes in with basically a "fuck ya'll" speech thinking they are the only winner...
