  In the casino world, high rollers are called "whales". They are treated like kings with free rooms and all the comps they could want.

  How about us in the lottery world? When you go to buy your ticket do they roll out the red carpet?

  Does the line part for you as you parade to the head of the line?  

  Most of the time I'm just a little fish in the big pond and have to wait my turn like everyone else.

  What about you :)

  How much do you spend at the counter???

  I voted as a hungry shark. I'm lean, mean and a winning machine.

  If you spend under $1 (.50 cents), what type of fish would that make you.

  Hijacking and going off topic, is grounds for being exiled to the land of lottery losers.   

  But because turtles also co-exist in lottery ponds with other types of fish, an exception should be made here.

  Alligator, I lay in wait motionless for days or weeks at a time then attack when the prey is easy to pick off.

  Another wise member, who recognizes that alligators can aggressively peacefully co-exist with other fish in the lottery pond.

  Dispite my "call name", Litebets, I frequently bet..(and I'm a shamed to say it), like a shark.

  I get my share of hits, but I haven't made up the difference this year...as yet...

  Feeling,  PRICELESS!!!

  Come on Jackpot!!!
