30K a month is not life changing?

Wow, even half of that would be life changing for me.

By the way, won 20 bucks today on another scratcher

Are you kidding? I play LfL also. The top prize would be around 3.1 million after taxes in my state. Definitely life changing unless you already make a few hundred K per year. Which I don't.

I think the poster is referring to the $1k/WEEK for life. Which at $56K per year which is basically a handsome salary on top of your regular salary but after taxes, might not be as life changing.

If they are accurate in saying per day then IDK how $365K per year isn't life changing. :P

This was excellent. If I win this week and manage to transfer some to my family, I'll owe it all to your post.

It's all fun!
Much like ACTUAL gambling, it can be fun every now and then. A project I was on, we all got in tickets for the entertainment value, and joked about leaving our manager in a lurch if we won However, these days, I prefer video Blackjack in Vegas is all. The winnings are MUCH smaller, you can lose more money, but I set aside limited funds, so that's not an issue. Plus, higher chances of may actually coming out ahead (although I most certainly do not count on it).

That's probably the best way to become a millionaire, at minimal expense to others.
