anybody ever play the lottery.....

The higher the jackpot, the more people will play though. So chances of the jackpot being hit increases.

true, but damn that almost seems like free money if you play it twice weekly.

Gotta agree with Dad. There's a reason most jackpots don't get to the $200 million.

Those lines won't hold.. They change for each drawing. depends if there is a winner or not.

again, true. but at this point i'd rather drop my money on a -210 1:175,000,000 odds (depending on the number of entries of course) vs. a -210 fav in say nba

ahh yes the lottery. the secret taxation on the poor.

Lottery= fool's tax

But damn it would be nice to actually hit one of these, I would build the sickest house

After someone hits the jackpot 5dimes puts out something like no jackpot winner -2000 on the next drawing.

**blackbeSSt** · 03-19-11, 07:54 PM

didn't see what the line went off at, but that was some easy money i think. im sure now that no one hit it will be sub -200 for the next drawing

If you going to play you should do it at 5dimes anyhow as they pay $900 for pick 3 and $9000 for pick 4 winners...
