Kirby Posted October 24, 2018 Share #2 Posted October 24, 2018 That was my first thought when I heard the winner was from SC. With that much money he could definitely buy Catherine's house and install casement windows! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsharr ★ Posted October 24, 2018 Share #3 Posted October 24, 2018 He has not responded to my congratulatory text. Probably meeting with his legal team and financial planners. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedalphile Posted October 24, 2018 Share #5 Posted October 24, 2018 I love the lotteries, or Lotto as we race fans know them, a voluntary tax, a tax on the foolish, deride them in any terms you choose but I love these people, after all, they fund so many things that I love, from art galleries to opera, orchestras, even my Botanical Gardens next door: lottery players are Great, so generous, so selflessly giving, they are the best people ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pedalphile Posted October 24, 2018 Share #7 Posted October 24, 2018 Just now, maddmaxx said: They pay a lot of entertainment taxes. Like I said, they are generous to a fault, they are the tax collectors gift that keeps on giving. They know not logic, or odds, example, when the jackpot is large they have more punts? Does not compute, baby: when the pot is bigger more folk have a punt, your odds of winning decline from minuscule to almost invisible, so why? A normal week the pot is too big to spend in one lifetime, why don’t more folk have a go then? Don’t try applying any logic to it, they don’t, for which I love and thank them, for the Royal Opera, for one example, and for the new winter bedding plants going in now in the Botanicals, they will please me on a daily basis, bless em.

The odds of the balls coming up in your favor never change. The chances you may split the pot with someone else however do. I bought a ticket this last time. As I said, it's entertainment, a ticket to a fantasy imagination show with the anticipation of getting "the number". As an investment however I usually put the dollar in a can and when the value is high enough I buy a toy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul’s Goode:that’s more bums on more opera and theatre seats, more funds for the health service and other good causes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
