    Not really cos the lottery itself is a govt protected monopoly. If there were private lotteries, no way I would be buying govt sponsored one.

    I'd like to think I would do something noble if I won but I'd probably just blow it on shoes and partying.

    Actually, I'm too bad at math to figure out how to fill in the little card. So I've never bought one.
    Partisan politics, misleading or emotional bill titles, and 4D chess theories are manifestations of the same lie—that the text of the Constitution, the text of legislation, and plain facts do not matter; what matters is what you want to believe. From this comes hypocrisy. And where hypocrisy thrives, virtue recedes. Without virtue, liberty dies. - Justin Amash, March 2018

    I play a couple times a year, bought some for this. Funny thing is I personally know two people who won, but they played regularly. (not the powerball)

    No. I have mouths to feed. Don't need to offer up my greenbacks for free to uncle sam.
    There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights. War for any other reason is simply a racket.

    If I win I'll organize, and by "organize" I mean will have organized, a Ron Paul Forums retreat. I will find a location, cater, and have awesome $#@! to $#@! around with. Transportation, food, drink, accommodations all payed for. On top of that every attendee will receive compensation in the amount of $2k to grace us with your presence. And probably a gun or two, if you are allowed.
