    It's insane how much money is currently in the draw...even I will put a few bucks in to take a chance!

    Then of course what do you do with your money? Buy a nice place in the Villages? Sure! Maybe get some golf lessons, Sure. Get one of those Corporate Tents at a ND game and invite all your buddies, pay for their flight/expenses to come to one more SkyBox reunion. Custom made Cardinals/Huskers Gear for AJ? Sure why not! Sid already is richer than God so he's good.

    But this guy has an idea...ah young and stupid, those were the days. :)

    I've thought about it. I don't normally like games of chance, but the amount is tempting.

    :p

    I never gamble, but I'm in too. I bought 5 tickets last night and the California Powerball was already over $800 million. It's expected to top $1 billion by the drawing tonight...

    :cry:

    Rats. I didn't win. The pot was at $900 million, but nobody else won either. The pot for the next drawing should be over $1.3 BILLION.

    If I win...I take over the world.

    Someone at the Publix I shop at apparently hit on 5 of the 6 numbers last week and it paid one million dollars.

    Close counts in horseshoes, hand grenades and lottery drawings!

    ah, if they'd paid another buck for the power play they'd have had 2 million.

    Lloyd wants me to buy a ticket after calculating how many pig ears and BAPPs can be bought for 1.4 billion dollars.

    Nope. It was some jerk in Chino Hills. That's my old hometown, so I probably know him. Maybe I'll ask him for a loan...
