What I don't get is someone like Ed who goes out to buy 20 tickets.  The odds are so astronomical you're hardly helped by buying multiple tickets. 
:huh:  You kind are.  Buying 20 tickets means you're 20 times more likely to win.  Your odds may be very, very close to zero, but "very, very close to zero" is still infinitely greater than zero.

I buy a Powerball every time I fill up gas, regardless of the jackpot.

I won five dollars once.

I don't need to play the lottery, because I know that of any of my Languishite best buds win the lotto they'll share their winnings with me. :cool:

fat chance.

If I were to win a giant lotto jackpot, the only person who I'd share money with is Mono.

And even then, just to exploit him as the star in a Chinese reality-tv show....so it should turn into profit.


And "blah" to workplace lotto groups.  If you ever were to close to one, and decided to buy tickets on your own...you know the when you hit it big, your chump coworkers will claim it was part of their pool and sue your ass.

You're telling me you wouldn't set up a winner-takes-all highlander-style competition for Languish?

If I hit the euromillions jackpot, I think I could easily spare maybe €10m for the chance at some nerdy bloodsport.  :hmm:

Helmet-cams for everyone!  :menace:

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

It's foolish logic too.  I'll be happy to stay behind and get a huge promotion or, if not, get a job elsewhere via my large network of contacts. :)

How would this help you get a job elsewhere you couldn't get already?
