Because you announced it, you have to share a cut of it with each of us.

Your chance of winning the lottery is lower than getting hit by a lightning on a clear bright day.

Seriously. Save that $$$ and spend it on snack or something. YOU WILL WASTE THAT MONEY.

Yeah, I won about 360 million last year.

I used to think the same thing... a friend from town here used to buy lottery tickets...

His DAILY DRIVER is now an SL65 AMG ...

Won 25,000,000 on January 16th 2004.

Edit : This was $25 Million Canadian as well... no taxes on that...

At least what you propose isnt near impossible

A guy was down on his luck with no job and prayed to God everyday...

PLEASE GOD, LET ME WIN THE LOTTERY TODAY...

Day after day this went on...

Finally God had enough and responded angrily... "HELP ME OUT, BUY A FVCKING TICKET."

I just won $2 this morning on a scratch-off... I think it's the first time in about 3 years that I have played the lottery at all.

Did you know him when he won? Tell us about him winning the lottery from a social aspect.

Why? 2x100% chance = 200% , which theoretically doesnt work out. Why would I want to buy two tickets with the exact same numbers?
