I don't play the Lottery...and NC didn't have one until recently when Gov. Easley signed it in. :roll: :P

I play when the jackpot is larger than the odds of winning-got my $10 worth of tickets already.

I never play, either, but, hey - count me in! :lol:

I bought my three tickets, last night, all with Powerplay.
Heck, I'd be proud to win $1,000 - that would help buy GAS!!

I play every week - only because a bunch of moms I know have a pool; we each contribute $20 for 10 weeks of drawings; when those ten weeks are close to being over the person whose bright idea (ha ha) it was turns in our winning tickets and lets us know how much we each owe for another ten weeks, minus our winnings. This jackpot is ours - we are due for a win :lol: :lol: :lol: 8-) :lol: :lol:

ONE winner in Oregon :eek: Can you IMAGINE?!?!?! I do have to say one thing, how on EARTH, WHAT on earth would you DO with $340 million??? I mean, after taxes etc, you'd still have OVER $150 million?!?!? Honestly, I think it would only bring MORE stress in ones life!
