Reason #5,110 to hate lottery winners

I now understand and appreciate the counterintuitive yet compelling need the unemployed have on blowing their limited UI funds on the lottery.

I bought 5 tickets. Even though I'll never win.  Just in case.

I bought $5 tickets from 4 separate locations.

Why does it make me think about South Park, more specifically Cartman buying North Park Funland and renaming it Cartmanland? It's like that episode coming to life. 

Hey everybody, check out the all new Cartmanland! It's our gra-hand opening! Cartmanland has over a hundred fabulous rides, six rollercoasters, and tons of great surprises! And the best part is... *you* can't come! That's right, because at Cartmanland, only I, Eric Cartman, can get in. That means only I can ride the all new tornado twister, a rollercoaster that splashes in the water. Wow! It's the greatest amusement park in the Colorado area, and nobody can go! Especially Stan and Kyle! Hahaha! So come on down to Cartmanland now, but don't plan on getting past the parking lot, 'cause remember: Eric Cartman: So much to do at Cartmanland, but you can't come!... especially you Stan and Kyle.

I won.... Jackshit. 

Back to the poorhouse for me.

I never bought any. Decided to hold onto my dollars so that I could buy a Diet Pepsi today at work. Probably a better use of my money, despite what my dentist says.

According to a Vegas odds maker I follow on twitter (rj bell) there was a better chance of winning last nights drawing with a single ticket than there was of Larry bird missing 9 straight free throws.

Was there a winner, btw?

A friend said that two people in Kansas City came forward.

The lotto is for poor people.

Except after they win, I guess.

The lotto is a voluntary tax on poor people.

I fantasize about winning the lottery, and how I'd spend all that money.

Saves me the trouble of buying a ticket.

For someone who claims to be loaded, you sure behave like a poor.

I'm going to put you on my Internet Liars Watch List.

I'm not loaded. I'm "well off".

I'd love to have a Lamborghini.

You can take the boy out of the trailer park, but you can't take the trailer park out of the boy.
