  There are times when we find ourselves living with or married to someone who believes they know better how to spend our money then we do.  What did you do?

  I have played the lottery for close to 40 years, and not once did she tell me to stop. But, I never let the lottery take money from living expenses even in years I spent more than I intended. The bills always got paid and food put on the table. She wanted me to win as bad as I did. Just sad I wasn't able to before she passed. 

  I remember one time a few years ago I had played 2 lines on Tx Lotto. I got 4 numbers on one line and two on the other line. She was in bed and I ran in and said "Dang, I missed 4 million by that much". LOL. She woke up and said "WHAT?"

  Lord, I am so grateful for the health that You have given me and my family. I praise You for always having my back and picking me up during emotionally challenging times. I ask You, God, for Your assistance once more. Please help me and my family secure our future by winning the Jackpot tonight.

  I voted 'No' because I had to.

  She has her vices, I've got mine.  In the forty years we've been married, neither of us has ever asked the other to quit their bad habits.  I'm pretty sure she'd like me to win some kind of a lottery jackpot, but not once has she ever said anything to me about that. I play responsibly, and she knows that, so I guess that's why she's never complained about the money I spend on lottery tickets. 

  She drinks wine and I don't drink at all.  When she does have a couple of glasses of wine, she has never done something so stupid as get behind the wheel of her car.  You tell me.  Do I have anything to complain about?  G5

  Play Smart! That's IF there is such a thing as playing smartly!!

  Dear Santa,

  I have been a good boy this year. Ate all my vegetables,studied hard for my tests,wore my mask faithfully. Heck, I even  mowed part of my neighbors lawn for him and weed-whacked around his mailbox.

  Now I realize that there may have been a vulgar noun or 2 slip out or certain finger waived when someone that cuts me off or leaves their brights on while driving behind me but I am working on that slight imperfection.

  I am only asking for 1 PB or MM or LA jackpot win, even a shared jackpot will work. I don't need a monster of a win just somewhere in the 2-100 million range would be just fine.... OH and can ya make it after taxes ?  Thanks

  While things have gone bonkers here in the home of the brave, just remember, there are a few of us who still believe in you and doing good deeds for others. That is why I am asking for a jackpot win... Thanks for the consideration in my request.

  My wife doesn't think she knows better than me how to spend our money, but she's smart enough to know if I spend it stupidly whether it's our money or my money. That works just fine because I very rarely spend it stupidly.

  I am still single, no kids never married.  I already know what I will do if I ever do hit big.   The question is this.  Who do I trust?

  "I have been a good boy this year"

  Not from what I hear. And the year isn't even half over. Plenty of time to be really bad.
