We matched 6 out of 7 on the Max and got just over 5 grand.
Bought new appliances with it.

When I grow up I want to be a retired lottery winner!

True, but I still would like to give it a try.
Move over Hunger Games, MAGA in its grotesqueness is developing "Immigrant Games". Imagine entertaining Americans by competing for citizenship after you've been gassed, bombed and starved in your native country.

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.

Re: Ever won a lottery?
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.

I don't give a damn whether people/posters like me or dislike me, I'm not on earth to win any popularity contests.

Re: Ever won a lottery?
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!
