It is never pointless to win large sums of many at an older age. Just because someone is in their 50's and beyond, they still don't know how much longer they are going to live so, they need money just like a younger person.

This is so interesting, I have had such thoughts too, not about Michigan or any State for that matter, but just the thought of winning a jackpot or large sums when one is in their 70's.

It feels so pointless and probably good for grand kids.

I think 30 something to 55 is a good age, and not in any way frowning upon age.

Indeed matching the 5 white balls alone is still as hard as matching all 6 numbers and Yes, the gods ultimately makes the final decisions.

Happy for you Robert.

Matching the 5 numbers is just as hard as matching all six.
