I probably should preface it with, this is all for a good cause.

Anyhow I get these flyers in the mail for the Princess Margrets Hospital lottery and now the Canadian Cancer Society Lottery.

I open it and I see these cars, and there are a ton of them, Porsches, Bimmers you name it (Even a 2002 S2K in the Cancer Society one), and right away I'm on the phone calling in a couple of hundred bucks for tickets in hope to win!

Now the reason I do this isn't just cause I'm a nice guy...but I know I loser who bought 1 ticket last year for the Princess Marg's one and he won a Boxster S, damn good deal for $100.

Chances are 1 in 12 of winning in Princess Margs and 1 in 20 for Cancer. Both good reasons to help the efforts, especially if you can win a car or two.

Anyhow I just wanted to self justify that I'm not mentally challenged right now by writing this

Everyone Donate!!

There I feel better.

So far I'm into these hospital lotteries for over a grand. I've won a ladies watch, a small TV and believe it or not, a 1 year subscription to another lottery (which I've so far won $10.) Whoopee! I'm still in the hole. And I'll still probably keep buying the stupid things hoping I'll win the big one. I justify it by saying it's for a worthy cause. Geez, I'm a sucker.

Wow thats not too bad, the ones I've entered are all money or cars, no additional crap. Which is what I'd rather have I think.

I'm into it for a grand too, I figured if its 1 in 12 I'm gonna give it a go and see if I do any better with more DUH heh. Also the Canadian Cancer one will put you back in the drawing if you win, so you could actually win multiple times on a single ticket.

So have you won evertime you've "paid" for it?

I think I'd like the 2002 911 C4 or Mercedes S500. I'll take anything actually, but I'd like those.

If I get any crap like the Ford Focus I know some leech in my family will come looking for a handout..hell anything they think they can afford to insure, they'll be here.

Atleast we're suckers forwarding medical research...I must keep saying it

Yeah man, i shelled out a few hundred dollars for the Heart and Stroke Lottery. I never won a thing. I guess it's for a good cause which is fine, and i don't mind helping out, BUT...

One thing that bothers me is the way they falsely advertise this Lottery. I mean, lets be honest, it's not 1 in 20 chances of winning a prize at all. They just pick out ballots like any other lottery and the chances are more like 1 in a million!!!! Now, if i am wrong, please someone correct me.

I think its the ratio to how many tickets are sold.

Something tells me that the ticket sales are hardly in the millions, you might have 50,000 max sold. I can't imagine there are enough people out there willing to spend $100 per ticket. Considering thats a lot of money to a lot of people, its not for everyone.

I think they have to legally prove that its whatever they say it is, cause I know if I don't win I'll be checking it out

Already figured on the plate I'll get if I win the C4

Or SUCK3R if the later is take

Vince, no I don't win every time. However, I do have a guy at work who won 3 times in the same lottery. Whenever I buy a ticket now I bring it to work and rub it all over him. He's starting to think I've got some kinky sexual thing going on so he runs when he sees me coming.

I played once and didnt win anything, I'm looking to buy about 3 tickets in the next one. I hope I win something

When you win do you get a call or you have to look in the newspaper to see the winners?

I never win, so I always check the paper. I'm in for 1200 bucks, and haven't one a thing yet. I bought again...Don't worry I'm a sucker too
but I'm feeling lucky this time!!

xviper - Well isn't that interesting what you fire guys do in the "off hours" I bet he hopes you win the big one and retire

Mike - Atleast you like to gamble , I get heavy breathing and shit when I drop a grand on anything..its quite funny but hey it often pays off, I tend to win a lot of stuff.

Wouldn't it be a laugh to win the lottery and have the car you win be the 2002 S2K? I don't know what I'd do hah.

When that buddy of mine won, I thought he lied until he drove up in the boxster, then he sold it a week later and I think he's broke again..but I digress.

Looking very forward to the drawing, I'm actually thinking of going to the live drawing so I can do some of those "In your Face" gestures.
