It's funny that people do this. 800 million is worth taking a chance on but not a paltry 300 million? I win 1 million I retire tomorrow.
Lottery Fever!

I bought one ticket just for the fun value. Can't remember that last time I played the lottery, maybe 5 years ago?

I think it's because it's on your mind when you walk in and it's the buzz. Bought mine when I grabbed a muffin at Quik Trip, after 3pm they discount them to .69 vs the normal price of 1.39 I think. Guy at the counter had a stack of pre printed quick picks he was just handing out if you were doing one ticket.

You want a toe? I can get you a toe.
Just FYI everyone I think my percentage chance of winning is a little high. I think I based it on a 1/232 million not 1/292 million. Lol

Buy 10 more tickets, that will make your chances better.

As nice as it would be, I wouldn't want the negative attention and fame that would come from winning the biggest lottery in history. Then...
Do you make every one of your family members rich too? How much each? Even distant cousins? Co-workers? Where would it end?
$1 million? That's really not much money. Drivers make $1 million every 11 years. So unless you are less than maybe 5 years away from retirement it wouldn't be worth retiring. I would likely work until my scheduled retirement age while using the million to pay off my mortgage and put the rest to retirement and enhancing other parts of my life.

I can't remember the last time I bought a lottery ticket personally. Just a group of people that play 3 bucks a week each.

Parents and siblings get some money and the wife and I would each give our best friend a little.
That's where it would stop.

If that is true then may the Good Lord smite me and may I never recover.

I have seen people literally scrape change together in order to buy scratch offs.
I have also seen people playing Quick Draw at 10 in the morning and come back later in the day to see the same people still playing.

One million in and of itself would not be enough.
One million added to his pension, SS, 401k and his other investments would be more than enough for him and his wife to enjoy a very comfortable retirement.

Your statement was insufficient hence the additions.
