We are multiple major lottery winners.

shilala · 12-01-2010, 08:39 AM

Lisa and I play powerball and megamillions pretty regular. More regular when I get in the groove. I try to grab a couple tickets when I get coffee, it's my retirement plan.
Recently, we have put it to the man for $28, $28, $7, $7, and $7. That's all in less than a year's time.
I'm not sure how long they can continue to take this kind of beatdown, but you guys should get in on it while they're giving money away.

Any other big winners here?

Congratulations! Are you going to keep working or retire and travel?

We're greedy. We keep the money in what I like to call "the special pocket" in Lisa's purse. Then we reinvest it from time to time when we feel especially lucky.
I'm retired, and I'm traveling this very moment. If it weren't for that, I'd do what you said.

(I think I'm getting hosed on the travel deal, by the way. There's snow. There's no snow in the kind of travel I like. I'm guessing I missed the fine print.)

You gotta buy new tickets all the time, mang. I know that sounds a bit like a racket, but it really works!!!

I knew I was doing something wrong! No wonder I've never won.

Hey! Maybe you can win a "Major Award"... like a Bowling Alley! Or a Ladies Leg Lamp!

Goldie · 12-01-2010, 10:29 PM

I won $353 on the pick three about 6 years ago.

Funny you should post this - my oldest daughter (in college) recently made a post on my Facebook page:

"Have you won the lottery yet? I need things."

I replied that I hadn't thought about it but for her to get her list ready and I would play the coming Friday.

So I did - played 5 bucks. Won $21. That puts me $16 up on them

I plan on playing again here before Christmas so I can have some extra spending money -

Well played, my man. I'm going to employ your strategy.

I hope they don't catch on to us. That's a sweet little loophole you got. (heheh, I said sweet little loophole)
