    TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE MEALEON DOLLARS!

    $212 mealeon!!

    I know I will play. I already got the green light that it's a GO.

    Are you going to be playing by purchasing at least ONE ticket this time? [​IMG]

    I only play when it gets high. So that means I'll be playing the Mega Millions, Lotto Texas, and Powerball.

    I hope E doesn't know about this. He likes to play when it gets big, I don't.

    That's what she said.


    I think there's a record without a winner for the regular Lotto Texas. Like 50 times without a win.

    no. kind of irritated at lottofan. the guy/gal that buys 50-100 tickets (combo of pick three, mega, powerball, scratch-offs, etc) at the convenience store and holds up the line until there's ten or so people waiting.

    i know that the lottery is for suckers but i usually buy a single quick pick anytime it gets high.

    i was standing in the customer service line of HEB once when i overheard the lady at the counter say, "I need 5 quick picks for mega millions. And I want it payments. Lump sum is for suckers." I was just laughing to myself inside. :grin:

    I'm pretty sure the only people who play are Mexican laborers and war veterans.

    Heh. Heh. Heh. Certainly you must be mistaking lottery entries with 18-boxes of Busch beer.

    As long as you buy it before they draw you should be ok. I bought tickets 10 minutes before drawings.
