I'd be happy to buy one, but I have no way of getting to a place that sells lotto tickets (except by walking, and it is way too cold for that).

Why not? It only cost a dollar.
Then I implore you, and a few million other people to just give me your dollar and I'll give you a piece of paper with numbers on it.

Each of you are only giving me one dollar, no big deal.

Shit then no one ever wins? Oh, noes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ps. I once won $10k on a $5 bet several years ago. You don't need to get every number to win.

I play the lotto. I understand the odds but the hopeless dreamer in me says "what if".

I don't plan my life around winning and I was shocked at the % of Americans who indicated that they use the lottery for their retirement plan.

I know a family that won 5 million. They were already pretty well off as they had a huge house on a private lake in Oakland County, MI. I read that they played $100 at a time!

I'll paypal you $1.00. PM if you're up for it. You can email the #s, I don't need a real piece of paper.

Actually, its 175m for the cash option. Take away 25% for tax and you are left with $123m

how does it work anyways? do you have to get the numbers in the same order? so its just the number of direct matches?

The winner is always some chicken farm owner from some bumblef$ck county. Probably 95 years old and on his way out with groin cancer too
