Did you also notice she says she wants to pick herself up from the trenches and spend another fortune trying to hit it big again? Lesson not learned apparently.

yeah, that's what gave it away for me. I figure it's someone who thinks only fools play the lottery, and this is just a satirical attempt to make fun of other fools.

Pardon my math here, but if the odds are 1:292 million....and tickets are only $2 each, could you not just spend $584 million to purchse one ticket of every possible combination? Spend $584 million to get a $1.5 billion payoff. This would of cours be assuming you were the only winner, not splitting it multiple ways.

I realize not many of us have $500 million just sitting around, but this still seems like a guaranteed payoff.

Well, lets say you actually had 584 million cash in hand, and the lottery ticket machine could print 1 ticket every second it would take over 9 years to print all of them. If it could print 300,000 every second you could get them all in about 3.5 days though. This theory would have blasted someones savings considering the last jackpot was split 3 ways, lump sum take home pay after taxes would be about 200 million for each of the 3

technically, yes, you could guarantee a hit, but you would likely share it, and that would eliminate the profit margin.

It's crazy what people will give money for on those pages. Pet dies and you want to cremate it and people will throw money at you. Go blow everything you have at the casino or on some get rich quick scheme and they will enable you to do it again. Need to pay for surgery and therapy when your told they want 1000 before they will do it and 30 to 35 per therapy session and good luck getting a dime.

Oh, ok. Did not realize they added more numbers. You are correct, there are 292,201,338 combos.

How is this even possible under the ACA? I'm constantly told I'm a liar when I say I've called doctors offices about a second opinion on something and they ask if I have Obamacare or real insurance. I mean, everyone's covered for everything now, right?

And I think you're doing it wrong on the GoFundMe page. Spice up your story. Maybe you got injured in an oil wrestling match against 3 sexy chicas at your local watering hole and now you can no longer save puppies and kittens at your job with PETA. Of course you'll have to post pictures of the women instead of your boring old bones picture.

I guess there are suckers ( like those donating) everyday. Addiction is serious, but we also need to take responsibility for our actions. I bought like $20 in tickets. That was probably pretty stupid, but I know when to say when.
