I never play unless there is an office playing poll because if they win, they all quit and leave you there, you don't want to be that guy.

I'll play.
I have been pretty lucky these past couple of years.

I was playing Splatoon last night and had to "roll" for some special abilities. In math's this was the formula: • 1/13 ~= 7.7%, 3× sub = (1/13)^3 = 1/2197 ~= 0.0455% chance to roll 3 of the same ability at once.

Took me 6 rolls to get what I was looking for. Now if only I "roll" the right numbers for the Megamillions tomorrow. Haha.
Somebody give me some numbers!

I never hear of Platoon before but you inspired me to do some googling.

Tomorrow is my Birthday it sure would be nice to get a surprise gift from the Megamillions
I'll share though with the board, with a meet up in Vegas, all expense paid by Living single (minus your gambling money).

I played Powerball too. I wonder why large jackpots draw more people when even the smaller ones are over a hundred million dollars. Even after taxes that's "never have to work for the rest of my life" money

Just got the Mega Millions and Powerball cards. Got to get them in before the next drawing.
May be silly. Probably won't win. But! There's still a chance... a dollar and a dream...

I usually stick to Roulette, Blackjack and Bacarrat when I gamble. I don't normally play lotto because odds are so low, but in this specific case, I will make an exception.

Odds are way against you, but you never know. I will be upset if I wasted my 0.0455% possibility on Splatoon instead of the lotto. Haha. What are the odds of being the winner anyway?

The jackpots are much smaller of course but still high enough that you'd never have to work again.
That would be me. I pay more attention to the classic Lotto precisely for the better odds.

My plan would be to keep the apartment for mail and rent an apartment in London for 6 months, then Paris, then Rome, Vienna, Copenhagen for Summer and THEN give up my apartment for a stately home in a safe secure gated community like Tuxedo Park.


I guess I'd have to become a Republican so I could avoid paying taxes. (just joking, my fingers would fall off if I tried voting GOP.)
