Ok, the lottery jackpot is up to 100 million euros, again; and again I'm gonna invest 4 euros in it.
Buses are being organized from nearby countries to bring people to buy lottery tickets: if the prize will go to a Swissman, I'll go Tourette's.
Now, you pray your favourite Supernatural Entity that I win, so I can throw the most debauched, lavish Languish Meeting Party you will ever attend.

If you win will you build a tomb complex?
Is this that European lottery thing? Or some national lottery?
it is a pan European lottery. Switzerland, Spain, France and UK participate to it. I think Belgium too but I am not sure. I usually play mainly because that annoy my girlfriend and last week I won enough to play three weeks more.

I may call Mr. Berlusconi to have his escorts' phone numbers :D
And no, it's not the european lottery, it's a game called SuperEnalotto: you choose six or more numbers from a pool of 90 (and pay 0,50 € per combination of six numbers, so playing 7 numbers will net you 7 combinations and you have to pay €3,50); if the extracted numbers match yours you win the jackpot. The probabilities are so low that it's easier to be hit by an asteroid than to win the game: it's 1:620.000.000 combinations.

I posted prayers to Lakshmi last time, I don't know if she's giving you another chance.
Buses? They should just sell them online. Welcome to the 21st century tards.
Dear Jesus,
Please let Pedrito win the lottery so he can throw a massive Languish party with much wine and hookers.

Dear Chthonic Gods,
Should you find time, among the gloom of Hades, to see fit to grace your servant Pedrito with winning this lottery, we the inhabitants of this dismal netherworld known appropriately enough as Languish pledge a holocaust within the Languish megaron consisting of the perfect trifecta of sacrificial victims: Jaron, Timmay and Slargos. May their dying agony sustain you.
We also pledge to hold in your honour a bacchanal the likes of which this world has never seen, should you grant this favour.
Yours truly,
Malthus (per the Languish Community)
Dear Mrs., Mr., Miss or Mr. and Mrs. God. Words cannot describe my deep personal interest in the health, spiritual wellbeing, love life or lottery winnings of my relative, friend, fuckbuddy or pet.
Sincerely etc
The Brain
Dear Hod,
I wish Pedrito wins the lottery. Of course, my wish to win it should be given priority. But I wouldn't mind if he wins his too.
Regards,
Mono
Did not win, but no one else did, too :yeah:
On thursday the next extraction will put up 105 million euros.
Although the offer of Jaron, Tim and Slargos was appreciated, it wasn't enough. Given the increase of the jackpot, I suggest adding some of Ed Anger's sockpuppets to the table.

Deer Lode,
Our voices are lifted up in venison; we praise you for your guidance in prevailing over the slugs and shots that are thrown to us, and we beseech you: dispense some of your gamey goodness to Brother Pedrito in his financial endeavors, that he may relish the taste of victory and be declared a 16-pointer among men.
Looking to help a friend score a buck,

Nice try guys, but no result till now <_<
But at least your prayers prevented other people from stealing my prize :)
On the other hand, my opinion about prayers is shifting towards the hypothesis of a lack of direct connections between the prayer for a result and the obtaining of said result. Shocking and disturbing, I must say.
Or maybe I need my prayer force to be upgraded with Rosaries +1 and Holy Hand Ceremonial Candles of Antioch.

For €119 million, I could put out a lot of contracts on members who may or may not have posted in this very thread. <_<

They turn worthless bums into tax collectors, and collect higher taxes from dumbasses thus allowing my taxes to be lower.

You missed that? IIRC some guys tried to cross the border with $500 billion in US treasury bonds.
They were two guys with japanese passport (one of them the brother of former Bank of Japan's vicepresident)that were trying to smuggle to Switzerland 239 Us reserve bonds (nominal value $ 500 millions each one) and ten "Kennedy Bonds", nominal value $ 1 billion each :huh:
The story is still in development, as the italian finance police declared that at least the $500 million bonds are real or so similar to real that's impossible to sort them from fake ones; and no inspectors from the american Treasury still came to Italy to examine them.
The other strange thing is that, idf one wants to forge fake tresury bonds, usually he makes lower value bonds, that are more easily accepted; it's almost impossible for even the biggest financial insitutions to accept $1billion bonds.

I'll buy 1 ticket.
My mom just called me 10 minutes ago, begging me to buy 1 ticket on her behalf. Since she's my mom, I had to hold my nose and go downstairs to buy a $1 ticket. She promised to keep all the winning, so I guess I shouldn't worry.

Yes, the money is completely tax free, moreover: the Treasury will take about 60 day to give him his money, and will calculate an interest rate on those 60 days, so effectively giving him 147 million euros PLUS 250.000 euros of interest :lol:
