You can't win if you don't play. That's a 100% certainty. I bought four $3 tickets and didn't win a thing, but the anticipation was fun.

There are amusing odds out there e.g. you have a better chance of getting canonized by the Pope; it's like getting hit by lightning twice as you're drowning and so on. Of course I bought tix - one for each member of my immediate family.

I am on a winning streak, so far I have won every time by keeping my dollar, why break a streak this time.

Best of luck to you though, your chances will be a little better without me in the pool.

You have the correct view of money not earned.

Here's the issue, You win and very quickly change profession from real estate agent to BIG TIME money manager. That is a serious change in purpose into a discipline for which few are prepared. That is why the good ones make big bucks.

1.5 BILLION...what a wreck it will be!. Unless of course I win and then I'll say, "I'll be different!"

IF that much money in $1 bills were stacked flat, how close to the moon would it get?
