i think i would buy every single horse in the kentucky derby and give them really dirty names so that that snooty british announcer would have to announce a whole race of dirty, dirty horse names.

Lottery stories suck. I watched a horrid E! investigative special on lottery winners. Besides the fact that I have no idea why I sat through it (there must have been no paint drying in my place to watch) it told these sordid tales of people who blew through their money quickly and ended up bankrupt.

Now I now a lot of people must be idiots, but wouldn’t you think SOMEONE would have told them to get some financial advice to make it stretch maybe 5 years or so?

I always dream one day I’ll win the lottery, quit my mundane job, buy a house for my mom, party like a rockstar and have a humongous designer wardrobe in my big ass closet, but I never play.

4-22-38-24-36-∞

Those are the winning numbers right there. If I won, I’d have (4)-girls, who are (22)-years old, and have the measurements of (38)-(24)-(36), for (∞)-nights.

The only thing worse than lottery stories is having to write them. I’m thankful I no longer work as a reporter. Every single winner had the same crappy thing to say, “You can’t win if you don’t play,” and “I’ve played for life.” It always made me wonder if those folks managed tor ecoup their lifelong losses from buying scratch-and-win tickets on top of all the other side gambling like bingo.

Call me a sadist but I look forward to the ones where the Big Winners lose it all in under five years time. A fool and his money really are destined to be parted.

Thanks for clearing up the fist thing, I was wondering about Dr.B’s fist. Well not wondering about the actual fist, just the comment.

I don’t buy lottery tickets, so I don’t want to hear about the stories of idiots pissing the money away.

I have a theory that they pay off some ignorant asshole or old lady a meager sum to SAY they won $100 million - keeps the suckers comin’.

My fantasy is to win like, $50,000 because I could pay off all my debts and have a little leftover. I would be the worst Deal or No Deal contestant ever because they’d be like “The first offer is $68,000″ and I’d be like “DEAL!!! DEAL!!! WOOOOO”

Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t turn down a whole shitload of money, but I don’t mind working.

I would carry the giant fake cheque around in my backpack. Anytime anyone gave me any lip I’d whip it out. “I’m rich asshole, suck it” That would end all my unpleasant encounters. And I sure wouldn’t work at McDonalds or anything, I’d volunteer there just to tell stupid assholes that they will not be served unless they learn to be polite. And I’d just start being a policeman for lineups. Go into restaurants and tell people with screaming children to leave and stop ruining everyone else’s meal.
It would be awesome. They would all face my wrath and oversized cheque.
