1. When they started the lotto in Ohio I think the top prize was $250,000. Now the odds are so

astronomically high nobody wins for weeks or months. It is ridiculous because of greed people
won't buy a ticket unless the prize is in the hundreds of million dollars. I quit wasting my money
on them years ago, lower the odds and give a million dollars to 944 people.

2. The lottery destroys so many lives. Why

do they have it at such insane amounts?

So many winners end up broke or worse.

Allow those numbers to fall correctly for me, and I will counter the muskrat with all my might.

5. I don't give a toss about symmetrical warfare

9. I have a interesting Lotto story (imho)

Back in the late '80's I was temping for a few months at a bank's Manhattan HQ.

The NY Lotto was around? 88 million - the largest winning amount at the time.

Anyway... a group of employees pitched in together at a branch in ?Queens of the same bank I was working at.

It kind of felt like "well! ...This could really happen (to a person, or group)".
