sorry to hear,

it sounds like your suffering from a sickness called algoreism.

not to worry,take the following Rx:

1.do not accept claims from lib. pols as facts

2. drink a shot of jack.

3.follow w/2cans of bud.

4. repeat as nessessary.

garenteed to cure,unless your a liberal, in which case it will result in a killer hangover,since you will not be able to follow step one.

science doubts there will be a cure for liberals, until they find a way for them to do step one.LMAO

recently i was reading about dreams, the writer said that the human mind cannot create a face,

and that if you see a stranger in a dream, they are a stranger that you passed on the street, in a store etc.

i see lots of strangers daily (job)and they are folks i will never see again.

you said some guys showed up in my dream were they strangers ?, how many ?

also i think its odd that you had a lottery dream before you were a player,

that alone would be enough to keep me playing.

Well then, you should list those six numbers here, gogidolim, as a way of releasing them to the universe and freeing your spirit to soar with the eagles in the clouds of destiny, tolerance and nurturing compassion for the downtrodden.

Alrighty then, what are they?

And which one is the mega ball

I have been playing since 1990. I bought a 2 line Florida Lotto ticket that had all 6 numbers drawn...only problem for me was that 3 of them were on the first line and the other 3 were on the second line! Also had cases of matching 3 numbers and being one off on all the rest! Lastly, I also had a case of picking the winning numbers but not buying ticket for that drawing due to grief my wife gave me for playing the lottery (yes, we are still married and I only think about it when I come to this s...

Since 2009, I think. Before that I never thought about buying a lottery. Some guys showed up in my dream and gave me six numbers. And they were kind enough to let me know which one the mega number is.

But that was it. Now I am thinking about quitting the lottery.

Well, I started losing back in the early 1990's on the Texas Lotto. I started out spending $1 because figured it only took one $1 dollar to win all that big money! I did that twice per week for quite some time and decided to increase to $5 after I didn't realize any wins. Do the math here: $2 per week for a long, long time with absolutely nothing to show for it. Nothing. Approximately $100 or so later, I decided that $5 bucks would make it better and easier to win with a few more numbers involve... [ More ]

Powerball and oregon megabucks since 1996 and mega millions since 2010. And I have little to show for it either but do not think I am bitter because I am not just waiting for my ticket to come in big time!-weshar75

I'd bet most people on this site have bought since it started in their areas or when they became old enough.

I remember hearing about the Irish Sweepstakes when I was just a little peckerwood and wonderin' why they didn't do something like that here.

So I guess in a way I'm like Al Gore. Just as he invented the internet, I invented the lottery.

You're welcome.

Since 2011. Here in AZ, you gotta be 21 to legally play and redeem tickets and I turned 21 last year. I fiddled around with them beforehand(I would get tickets out the machines once in a blue moon for fun, never really won anything but if I did I'd have someone else get the money.) After I got my ID, started playing reguarly.

That's where I got that idea, from you!

That's what I wanna do on national TV.

Wearing my stinkiest overalls I'll say - That's the first dadgum ticket I ever bought! And it was a dadblamed accident! I heard the ol' boy in front of me order some Fireballs, you know, them hot jaw breakers? Well sir, I said give me one of them Fireballs too, young missy! And then she commenced to handin' me this here ticket and I said what in the dadblamed, blue blazin, hellfire is this, young missy? She said... [ More ]

Hi everyone,

I'm just curious how long everyone has been playing the lottery andor scratch tickets? I started thinking

about this when I heard of someone who recently won 1M on the Powerball and said that

was the first time they had every bought lottery tickets. It seems lately when I hear of winners

it seems to be people who rarely play. As for myself, for years I would only play the MM when the

jackpot got very high (it was only the last few years my state has had PB). Then in S... [ More ]
