wheel..

40 friggin' percent. Wow. And we sheeple are okay with this. Sad, ain't it?

It isn't free. You bought a ticket. Millions of other people bought tickets. The government makes money hand over fist on the lottery and then taxes the sh*t out of anyone who actually wins... and makes even more.

It's a tax on the mathematically challenged. My wife plays on occasion, and she tells me I can't win if I don't play. I told her, au contraire mon ami... if you win, so do I.

I play about 3-4 times a year, random intervals not just when the jackpot is huge, for a few bucks a pop. Perhaps my share of the tax for the stupid, but lightning could strike. And frankly I would prolly spend it on booze and bad food anyway....in the end though, I don't really get uptight about the taxes on it all. The government will get their share of everything. I would be perfectly comfortable with say, a 10 million dollar jackpot that got split 60/40 my favor...

And as far as the taxes go, is it fair probably not but just like someone else mentioned if someone wanted to give me 50 million but i had to give 20 of it to the government I would still take it.

Don't get me wrong, I'd be thrilled to win. I just think Uncle Sam has his greedy little hands in way too many places.

That was the first and last ticket I ever bought

An added benefit to satisfy my gambling fix is the number of games and contests available here. Thank you, CBid.

He says that your chances of winning the lottery are the same if you play.. or if you don't play.

I said.. Well, people do win!

He said.. Yeah, but it won't be you.

D'oh...
