Yeah. I don't think about the lottery until it's in the news, honestly. Wingus Dingus Nov 2022 #2

I will by some today, probably a combo of Power Ball, Mega Millions and Fantasy five.

It’s fun to fantasize.

Perry was a local tv star who was involved in injecting the balls, so they were heavier than the others. I believe he spent time in jail. I would post a link but do not know how yet. Ty.

We have a job pool and I bought some personal tickets.

$2 billion is worth the shot, however improbable.

I normally don't purchase unless the jackpot gets extremely large.



I wouldn't complain if I could get some much needed home repairs completed and as an extra bonus, a log cabin on a quiet 30 or so acres for needed downtime off work. Yes, I still plan to work IF I hit it big, but I will take less working hours.



Good luck, DU!
