790 lottery tickets is a LOT. At 1 ticket a week, that's 15 years. And if you can't do without the $50 a year, you are in dire straits!

It's incredible.. people will spend $25 on a meal then complain about how lottery tickets are a waste of money.
Actually, he said that's he's saved ten times as much which would be $7900. With 2 drawings a week at $1 a ticket, that almost 76 years worth of lottery tickets.

Sadly, the lottery hasn't been around for 76 years. So, not only is Ornery bad at math, he sucks at history too.
:thumbsup:
Right, because all the people who buy lotto tickets buy just one for one drawing. They don't spend $50 a pop on multiple Super 7 Encore Extreme Extra Plus Platinum Super Draw Chance Bling Bling Edition tickets. NevAr! :p

It's simply $5.00 per week (typical of what my coworkers spend) saved over 30 years. Want me to break that down for ya? :roll:
