Default Well Mindcore has just lost it....Large!

I usually buy a lottery ticket once in a while..Because hey, you never know.
So anyways it's a cool 10 million, enough to set me up pretty well.

The number was as follows 04 12 21 26 43 46

and then I read my ticket 04 12 21 26 43 47

I mean I was freaking out by the time I hit #43!!!
and then wham! F-U buddy, not this time.
The upside I suppose is that for my $10 expendature, I will win roughly 1500-2 grand. You would think I would be happy?? Nope flew into a rage, to wave 10 mill in your face, and snatch it away...I can't take the stress

Luckily this board is here, or I'd be pacing the house, and spend the whole 2 grand on new carpet

Mike

HOLY TOLEDO. That is damn close.

Almost there.....

hehe

If you did win, then maybe you could have eased my wait for a S2000. I mean, what's $33,000 as opposed to almost $6,000,000?

Mike, I would have gone nuts too! It's a shame to come so close and to miss it by one freakin number...ah well, it was a pipe dream anyways, right?

When the California lottery was up to 80 million or some ridiculous number like that, I bought $100 worth of tickets and didn't get even a $5 winner.

So, even though it must have been a bitch to see that last number come up, at least you have a nice piece of compensation.

Maybe that's one of the reasons why I don't believe in lotteries. It gives people false hopes, besides hard earned money is probably the most satisfying thing when you get your pay check every time and it will always be the greatest feeling to cheer up your day.
