from a stranger to buy a ticket, then I can still say I've never spent any
of my own money on the lottery. *sigh*

Just think.... for the price of a lottery ticket you could:

I'm still with you here. I always refered to it as a tax on those who
aren't good at math. In Florida, they have been running ads about how
lame it is to only play if the jackpot is high. Apparently enough
people do that to affect their take noticably. Wow.

Now, Montblac, if you do win, do I still get in on the deal? I follow
this group almost daily, but I'm still a student pilot so I don't have
much to add generally.

Sure. (See note below)

BTW, you have more to add than you realize.

The winner was in Jacksonville, Oregon. A tiny town near the California
border. I haven't been there in over 25 years but there wasn't much to
the town then. I suspect that lottery winnings is more than the rest of
the town is worth...
