So now there's Powerball for a paltry $620,000,000 tonight!

Pah! Not worth it.

Funny how perceptions change, It used to be a talking point when the lottery reached $100, then $250, then $500. Now it seems the new norm is it has to be more than any previous.

Thanks for reminding me.

I'll be sure to buy a ticket on the way home.

Just need to make sure that I claim my winning ticket on the same day as the Mega Millions winner.

Nobody ever remembers who finished second.

I recall when the Irish Sweepstakes was the biggest thing around and the tickets were only sold by the local bookies at a buck.  It was illegal but no one gave a care as you'd see the cops checking in at the local news stand and picking up their chances.  The tickets were imprinted with the queen's picture; I always wondered if they got a cut of the proceeds to fund their lavish lifestyles.
Aye, it was worth a buck for the fun of it all and hoping on that one in a million chance you or someone you knew, got a piece of that sweet pie.  I think my dad won $50 or $200.  Big score for a milkman.
