Re: Did You Buy Powerball Tickets

Yes, I bought a Mega Millions ticket, and I still have to work.

I never did, but my boyfriend used to.  He once missed the jackpot by one birthday.  He played all of our birthdays, the one that was off was my oldest daughter who was born on the 10th and the number was 16 (which happened to be her due date).  Although the lottery was in the millions, he only got about $2,000.


Even though you would be disappointed not winning the millions, I wouldn't say no to $2000! I like to buy $5 scratch off tickets and never come out ahead. Whatever I win gets reinvested. I actually won $5 so I added $1 and got my Powerball tickets, like for free!

No, that's too much money for one person.  I might buy some regular lotto tickets this weekend, though.  I'd be happy with a couple million  Woman LOL

I did buy tickets, only two! Only takes one to win!

 

Husband also says it's too much money to win, I told him to quit worrying and that I'd handle the finances!

No, because I won't really need the money.    Based on their extensive communications with me, next month I'll be winning the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes.     hahaha

I would be overwhelmed by a huge win also.  I think the right amount for me would be $5 million.  I have a very large extended family and I could take care of everyone with that much money.
