We matched 6 out of 7 on the Max and got just over 5 grand.

Bought new appliances with it.

True, but I still would like to give it a try.
Regardless of who "wins" an election, they always are up against a Silent Elite. Do you believe the extreme poor who voted for Trump ever thought their non-profit support would be slashed right out from under them?

The only lottery I've won is by marrying the woman I love. Pretty sure I've used up all my luck on this, so I never participate in other lotteries.

Did Jack Daniels or Tom Collins whisper that in your ear?

So with the Lotto Max now being twice a week I am not purchasing it any more. Maybe occasionally when it gets big but not $10 a week!

I might just put that $10 away and save it for buying something nice for myself. :smt045

Bumped up

Congratulations, knowing new pickups can have price tag around the amount you won... enjoy.

I won a raffle once, that I didn't even enter. Ended up giving the prize to a neighbour because it wasn't my jam. It turned out they had donated it, and bought tickets for our family!
