Anyone here pay their stupid tax?

I bought 3 yesterday


Jul 29, 2022, 10:10 AM [ in reply to Gotta go pay it today. ]

The numbers were almost the same for all 3 picks.

I know that the odds are the same if only one number was off, but its just kinda deflating.

Come on random number generator..spice it up some.

Jul 29, 2022, 10:47 AM [ in reply to Eh, just think of all the headaches that much ]

figure out which boats I was going to build. Obviously a Freeman to be a patriotic South Carolinian, but then do I want a Midnight Express or an MTI for my Bahamas boat? For my go fast cat, MTI or DCB? Those Eliminator Speedsters look nice too, and you can't go wrong with a Skater.

Where would I buy my Florida house? Do I even need a Florida house, or should I just get a Nordhavn that I can move around? So many decisions to make, might be a little stressful but I'd be willing to deal with it.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-lakebum1-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Sadly I have had those same thoughts.


Jul 29, 2022, 11:00 AM

And then, how many houses is too many?

1 in Clemson (on the lake, obviously)
1 in IOP, on the ICW, maybe a crash pad downtown CHS?
1 in the keys--Islamorada, or a place in Key West, just for fun?
or do I get one in the Exumas, maybe Eleuthra? Or even Barabados? St Thomas? A small place in Bermuda?

And boats...Where do I start?

Do I go super yacht? Or stay "small" in something I could handle myself?

Too many choices. I'd probably by a dump on IOP and be scared for the rest of my life I was spending too much money.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Only when the jackpot gets really crazy, which is extra

stupid. It's not like a million dollars is somehow beneath me.

I always love that logic.


Jul 29, 2022, 10:07 AM

"I only play when it gets above 200 million"

Yeah, 'cause winning $20 million or whatever it starts at would be like not even winning at all.

if you don't live in Ohio, you are not winning***

Enter any gas station, go to counter, tell clerk how many


Jul 29, 2022, 2:12 PM

you want.

2024 purple level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpgringofhonor-beeksteak-110.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I don't know how anyone can get addicted to it


Jul 29, 2022, 12:33 PM

me: Take my $10 bill in exchange for 5 randomly generated series of numbers on thermal paper

Me 8 hours later: Not one number matched


And every time I see someone buying lottery tickets, they don't look addicted. They are normally buying a 12 pack of cheap beer and dip (they'll hide from their wife) at a convenience store. Bad brown shoes, pilled up, worn out khakis, a too-tight knit polo shirt, and a 1000 yard stare. Watch them walk outside to their 8 year old dirty pick up truck with a baby seat in the back row of the supercrew cab. Slight exhaust leak, and a "My kid goes to somebodies elementary school" decal crooked on the back bumper. They aren't addicted..they are beat down and trying anything to escape the hell their life has become.
