The Buckets by Greg Cravens for February 02, 2021

One good thing to remember about the lottery is there’s the same chance the numbers 1,2,3,4,5, and a power/mega ball of 6 could be drawn as any other set of numbers.

Lottery is a volunteer tax for the mathematically inept.

One of the odder lotto occurrences: several hundred people hit with the same numbers in the NY lotto. Turned out the numbers were from a fortune cookie printing.

Sideshow Bob sprang for five tickets? :-o

Its the thought that counts

Too bad that he thought he would win

With my luck I’d get lottery tickets that would require me to pay more money to the lottery.

Tis a lesson to be learned, don’t expect much from playing the lottery.

I remember reading in a book once (i’ll have to go see if I can find it) about how there was a state lottery structured in such a way that it was possible to come out ahead, provided you were able to purchase a large number of tickets and the jackpot had not been hit a certain number of times. There was actually a buyers club set up to purchase tickets on a schedule and it always delivered a win. If I can find it, i’ll reply back here.

The last time I bought (Colorado) lottery tickets was May 2005.
