if so, how many?

will you pick your own numbers, or let the machine pick random ones for you?

i've only played the lottery once and that was a few months ago when it was at its previous record jackpot. i think i'll buy 3 tickets today and let the machine pick the numbers. the last time, i picked them and hardly got any right on 5 tickets. i know the lottery is a tax on the "mathematically challenged", but for $6, it at least gives you the chance to daydream for a few hours.

    5 quick picks.
    First thing I'll buy if we win is for my wife. A Super Bee edition Dodge Challenger. :bigsmile:
    Then I'll get an RT/S edition for me. :drinker:

    Yes. And I will share my winnings with the best 6-pack abs on MFP.

    Take that, Willy!
  • Five total.

    Three with picks from each human in our home.

    One quick pick for the dog.

    One with picks from my mother that lives in a non-Powerball state.

    Just bought 3 tickets. I figure what the hell; I can forgo Subway today.
    If I won, 90%+ would go to charity anyways. I just need 5 mill and I'm set for life.
  • I got into the office pool with 32 other people. We will see how that works.
