According to common odds you're going to be struck by lightning first. I hope your not wearing your tinfoil hat.  Cheesy

And that's why there has to be some form of higher power out there, because it's an asshole.  Cheesy

I bought a lottery ticket when it was down at $240 million.  I matched enough numbers to win $3 from my $1 ticket.  So when it got to $500m, then I thought that I'd buy another ticket using $1 my previous winnings.  When I went to put my money in the machine it already had a $1 credit.  Things so I bought a two dollar ticket for $1.  I was thinking "this is a sign!"  Then came the drawing and... nothing.  haha.  Still doubled my money though.  Just think of all the things I can do with that extra $1!

Be careful. Reinvesting winnings into more gambling is a sign of a problem gambler. Sure, it starts out with just a $1 ticket. Before you know though you'll be buying $2 tickets. Maybe even two of them. Then where will you be?
Problem gamblers live in the casino, not buying lottery tix's - however this could be a good start  Wink
Though, with Bitcoin (and the various Poker sites, and I read there's some strange LotR online thing involving physical slot machines), the casino is in your house.  Shocked

Haha.  I think it would take a lot more than buying a $2 ticket to become a "problem gambler."  I'm happy to have my $1 profit and back to bitcoin (a gamble in itself)

If that happen, I'll put 50% of that money into bitcoin. Mark my word.

So shorts, watch out  Grin

How's that for respect? BadBear moved your thread. And to think you were going to buy him a new car to drive with your winnings.

I wish I won that much.I join all sorts of lotteries in the hope of winning.I'm waiting for one of the lotteries I joined a while back to finish the round (as it was extended) so I can see whether or not I've won.
