Drawing is on Wednesday August 23th.


My birthday is the 24th. Winning would be a nice surprise.

1. Sorry. I'm going to win it.

Better luck next time.

2. It would be a nice chit of walking-around money.....

I'd play, but I've already been hit by lightning......

[In_The_Wind]

16. Seriously ...

You were hit by lightning? How long ago was that?

[lastlib]

17. Not directly.

It was back in 1988. I was walking by a utility pole, when it struck the pole, but I was only ten feet from it. Literally knocked me fifteen feet! The pole made the WEIRDEST sound I've ever heard--to this day, I can't give a good description of that sound. I wasn't hurt, but I just felt strange for three or four days after.

3. When I win, I'll buy everyone in The Lounge a brand new car

Sure, it'll be up to you to determine who gets to drive it each day.


There are at least three charities I'd start if I win the big lotto. Damn, that'd be so much fun to do so much good.

4. Ok, I'll start the objections...

I had to buy a car recently after I was in an accident. What I'd really like is a lifetime membership to a cryotherapy center. It wouldn't set you back much more than a moderately priced new car. I'd be eternally grateful.

Thank you for your consideration.

5. Knock knock. Honey, there's a FedEx truck in the driveway

6. buy that ticket!

7. I've also fantasized about who all I would give money to

My personal needs and wants are pretty simple.

8. Bought a ticket today. My husband and I decided that if we won we would just give money

away to people in need. I would also hire a cleaning company and never clean my house again!

9. Great answer.

[Iggo]

12. If I win I'm immediately giving away 3/4 of it to my three siblings.

Share the wealth. Share the responsibility.

13. Why not just BUY a cleaning company, ...

... and never clean ANY of your houses again?

And, if you win, aren't you a long-lost cousin of mine?

[Luciferous]

15. :) That would be the biggest problem with winning the lottery I would think. Everyone

would want something from you. I think I would move somewhere nobody knew me and live pretty modestly... maybe do a little traveling. I would get a house near a nice lake or the ocean with a big porch and a garden and spend a lot of time reading and walking the dog at the beach.

10. I have to chuckle. I stopped buying lottery tickets regularly years ago.

But for some reason once a lotto, power ball etc. gets into "news making" territory, I but a ticket or two. So I'll take a chance on $500 million, but anything less isn't worthy of me taking a chance? I do laugh at myself.

[Iggo]

11. I accept.

Thank you!

14. Are we going to spend it together? I'm going to celebrate my 69th birthday.
