Yeah that sucks
Not winning the $400 million lottery. That just sucks!
If I invested the money I spent on the lottery I would basically have eaten more cheeseburgers.My dad was convinced he would win the lottery. He had a binder full of lists of different winning amounts and to whom he would give money to and how much. He died with hardly a penny to his name. If he would have invested the money he spent on the lottery and other get-rich-quick schemes, he would have been fairly wealthy.
I don't play the lottery.

especially in parking lots, when someone stop for me when I wasn't even at the cross I usually go behind their car. If they could have gone without causing me to even break stride I'd 100% prefer they just go.When I stop the car to let a pedestrian cross the street, and the guy is old so a bit paranoid about someone gonna hurt him, and he changes his route and either waits for me to pass or crawls behind the car.
Like I have no reverse gear! I'm gonna get you next time old man.
This. Man I know they have to do this, but it is so aggravating. I usually skip NPR completely when this happens. I am a continuing member or whatever they call it in that I donate money monthly, so I wish there were a way to skip this crap if we already donate.NPR pledge week
When the jackpots get big my wife and I will buy a multi-draw ticket, with 2 sets of numbers that are valid for the next 5 or 10 draws or whatever. That is the extent for us. I have won into the hundreds before, with a small win here and there adding up on the ticket. Obviously no big ones yet. But hey, someday I have to win, right? Right?The odds on winning the lottery are only slightly better than people who don't buy a ticket....
We often do a group ticket at work for the big jackpots, the ten minutes spent imagining how id spend the money are normally the best ten minutes of my day.

I have a ticket for the current powerball, as it is at $454 mill, with the cash payout at $271. I would get about, what, 70% of that, after state and fed take their share, so plan on receiving $190 mill. I could find a way to live on that. I am sure to win it tonight! I just know it!
It just messes up my day. Listening to NPR on my way to work is part of my routine, and pledge week is unlistenable. This gets me grumpy and throws the whole day off.This.
