$1.05 BILLION: Mega Millions keeps rolling after no winner FridayReply
One more point... Everybody knows the lottery is a suckers bet. The long odds against players is proof of that, but it's those very same long odds that might put a huge cash windfall in your bank account. I'm OK with those that have rolled their eyes in my face because they're entitled to their opinion just as I am mine. Should I win big, they'll also probably hold the opinion that I was incredibly lucky. And I'd agree with them. As for asking me for money... I think it's much more likel

$1.05 BILLION: Mega Millions keeps rolling after no winner FridayReply
I think it's all in the way you look at it. To me, it's simply a matter of perspective. I buy lottery tickets for their entertainment value, and oh yeah, I might win some money too. I bet with my head, never over it. I dont kid myself into thinking I'll win big some day. My attitude is if I lose (which happens all the time) then I had a little fun. If I happen to be very lucky and win a significant pile of cash, then I know I'll be very very happy. I've had people roll their eyes in my face

Texas Legislature proposes bill to block online lottery courier servicesReply
The bill moved on to the House after passing in the Senate unanimously on April 12. On April 18, it was referred to the Licensing Administrative Procedures Committee, which regulates gaming industries in the state and matters pertaining to the Texas Lottery Commission. Looks like the Legislature was working on this before the big jackpot win. Personally I don't have an opinion one way or the other on this. I've always had my favorite stores to buy my tix so it doesn't really affect

$1.35 billion Mega Millions lottery winner suing mother of his child for revealing win to familyReply
That's why I think sometimes moving to a new area is a good idea. Not just moving two blocks down the street. People buy cars and houses everyday and no one pays any thought to it. The problem is suddenly broke Joe has bought a range rover and a 1M house down the street. It just doesn't take rocket science to figure that out. If I win big, I will stay put for 6 months to one year, then make my move - either to one extreme end of the state or out of state. No one will know that I
