The last one yes.

Sometimes you do the right thing just because it’s right.

Life's a game of mathematics, if you can't figure that out I don't know what to tell you.

A heads up penny is supposed to be good luck.

If it's not heads up it's said that you should flip it over to heads and bring the next person good luck.

Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners.

There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers.

Isn't "yes, money is money" and "penny, they add up" the same thing?

A nickel more worth of gasoline, a nickel more worth of coffee beans, plenty of stuff like that. More importantly, with 40 nickels, you can buy a MM lottery ticket. If you only have 39 nickels to your name, and you see one on the ground, now you can buy a lottery ticket whereas before you couldn't.

I am almost always finding pennies, once in a while a dime and I just say a thanx, continue on and consider them good luck. I have a little bucket filled with the coins I find. Always seems to be at the store I get my lottery tickets. Speaking of which, I have some errands today and will also pick up my tickets. Curious to see how the selling is going around here.

Just got back running a couple of errands and guess what I picked up? A bright shiny penny, 2017, heads down BUT it wasnt where I get my tickets. I got my tickets at another location, the guy standing behind me said after seeing I was purchasing lottery tickets said "I have the winner in my pocket" lol. I told him I hoped he did but I would take the jackpot he didnt win and we both laughed and wished each other good luck.

At the Safeway grocery store people were lined up buying their tickets. I cant help but think this is going to be revised up once or maybe two times before drawing time. Questions is, will it beat 2016 $1.6 billion?

Soledad,

I lived in Northern Jersey and worked in Manhattan. when it was time to knock it off for the day I went to Port Authority to catch the bus back to Jersey knowing my ticket wouldn't be for the next bus to come in but the 5th or 6th next one.

I wouldn't want to do that again.

I know NYC is dirty but East St Louis puts it to shame in that department....first time I drove past there I thought I was looking at something from right after WWII.

I'll pick up a penny (couldn't care less if it's heads or tails) and thank the Lord for it! I figure, if I'm grateful for a penny, perhaps He'll see I'm fit for further blessings. :) If I find a penny, then a few steps later I find a nickel (or another penny), my eyes will be glued to the ground for the remainder of the day. lol
