Well, went to the Gun Club last night to play in the Poker Tournament.
Stopped at the Gas Station, to pick up a pizza.

Thought, what the heck, picked up a Lotto Ticket.

Well looking at the numbers this afternoon,
I Found Out, [b] I WON !!!!!![/b]

Yessery Bob, I WON, and DOUBLED my Money !!!!!!!

Paid 2.00 for a ticket, and got 4.00 back, cause I had the Power ball Number!

Their was a laddie their, she asked me, what I would do, if I won big.
I Told her:
"I would buy a Newspaper, and TELL THE TRUTH!"

My wife did the same... got the power ball number.
Your idea of what to do? I hadn't thought of that, but, next time I become a gazillionaire I'll buy a paper and start telling the dumb masses what has been happening.

When the odds are this high, you have exactly the same chance of winning with a single $2 ticket as you have if you spent $1,000. Your odds are no better. I usually spend my hard earned money more wisely on state funded Keno and scratch off cards. I have never won but I do have a nice pile of used tickets that I find work well as a note pad. And they replace the playing cards I use on my nephews bicycle spokes to make it sound like my 650. I guess I just like to see money at work.

I can't grasp that. Seems to me that the more times I enter the more the odds are I have to win.

Well....I believe your chances on winning with a single ticket are "really tiny/small/slim". When you buy 2 tickets...your chances are increased to "nearly tiny/small/slim". It is almost the same. Huh

I stopped trying to get rich in a hurry years ago. I am not against gambling, I just have very realistic expectations. So much so that now when I go to a casino, I just hand the security guard at the door a couple of hundred dollars and save myself the time of losing it.

Good hunting; and your lucky numbers are..............

My dad was a busy man,, put 100,000 miles on a car one year. He told me he went to his favorite bar, bought 6 cans of beer and went and dumped them in the urinal, cuz he just didn't have time to sit down and drink them.

Yeah, he had quite a sense of humor.. Anyone who knew my dad KNOWS he would never intentionally spill beer.

A Few years ago, when I owned a Gun shop.
A fellow came in, and bought a pound of power and a bag of shot.
(Being the Consummate Salesman, I said: “Do you need any Wads, Primers, Hulls also?”)
He said: “No, just going to N Minn, Grouse Hunting”.
I must have looked at him with a bit of puzzlement on my face.
So he continued: “Na, Just gonna dump out the power and shot on the ground, then go fishing”.

If, 2.00, DOES win me the, 'lotto', it's the newspaper, AND, Country to Country ride on a S40. LLOLOLOLOL Grin
