1 ticket? I have 26$ worth for myself and in a group for 166$ worth.  I want that MAACA headquarters built. And I won't use a grocery store... All new building. - BIG arcade area that makes Funspot in NH look like a closet with vids and EM arcade games - HUGE section for pins separated by manufacturer and eras - themed private rooms for parties (hockey-theme, monster theme, etc...) - big screens everywhere - leather couches here and there to crash on - snack bar with diner-style tables and a big-a** beer fridge - outdoor patio area with firepit BBQ for those summer parties ... and that is just the front area. In the back: - HUGE warehouse to store pins and vids - big shop equiped with every test equipment available and parts galore - paint booth for clearcoats and paint jobs - wood shop - scanning and printing equipment ( for reproducing needed art) ... and I forget some details... |

Normally at this point I would make fun of anyone dumb optimistic enough to buy a lottery ticket by calling it the 'stupid tax', but I don't want to jeopardize my chance to leech off of the winner, so I won't make fun of you guys or call you nasty names. I hope you win!! |

Fair enough Johnny, until a guy you've worked with for 10 years wins the CHEO Lottery Dream Home, complete, furnished, groceries for a year, fancy car, etc, etc... ...sure its stupid tax, but the revenues in theory are put to good use, and you can't win if you don't play. That said, I don't buy lottery tickets, but boy am I jealous/happy of the collegue who just moved in last week  |

mathematically, all those extra tickets decrease your chances.. it dillutes your chance of winning (yet paradoxically muscles up the next pot). in hour time, we find out if a new record is set. |

!???! most people would have answered OPIUM or the other esoteric good, pure stuff unavailable in North America. appoint me as your financial advisor.. i'll provide you a generous living allowance for the weeks you spend in an actual opium den; making your way through the poppy triangle and unfortunate demise  |

I disagree, the odds of winning the lottery is not like a raffle. The number of tickets sold has little or nothing do you with the odds of winning. So if they sell one ticket or 20,000 tickets the odds will always be 1:13,983,816 for the 6/49. |
