Currently the Mega-Millions jackpot is at $1.22B. Who plays the lottery only when it reaches a particular winnings threshold?
I buy two tickets once in a while (not every drawing) when the jackpot is over 1 BILLION DOLLARS!
Because
So what's your minimum threshold, or do you play regularly, regardless of the jackpot.
I was thinking about this. At 500 Mil I can't be bothered. 1 billion, SIGN ME UP! How dumb is that. Like 500 Mil wouldn't change my life like a billion would.

I'm of the same mindset. After taxes, the $500M jackpot (lump sum @ 50%) wouldn't be enough to make it worthwhile. LOL.
Match 5 + Mega Ball 1 in 302,575,350 Jackpot
Match 5 1 in 12,607,306 $1,000,000
Match 4 + Mega Ball 1 in 931,001 $10,000
Match 4 1 in 38,792 $500
Match 3 + Mega Ball 1 in 14,547 $200
Match 3 1 in 606 $10
Match 2 + Mega Ball 1 in 693 $10
Match 1 + Mega Ball 1 in 89 $4
Match 0 + Mega Ball 1 in 37 $2
Any amount would be nice. I buy 3 tickets every Tuesday. 1 million would get me out of debt and provide an upgrade of accommodations. He'll, it would make semi-retirement possible. I'll go months without playing but when it gets over 300 mil I start playing it weekly.

I wasn’t yelling. ....
Sounds like it could have been some of my family.
Don't let the wife know what you spend on guns, ammo or cigars.

You know those words you never heard anybody use, but you read them occasionally, and you learned the definition of them by context alone and never bothered to learn how to correctly pronounce them because you assumed you could say it correctly by the simple way it was spelled?
RIBALD
Edit: I forgot to mention I had always thought ribald rhymed with bald. Instead, I learned it rhymes with dribbled. I almost felt bad personally, but I don't as much as I feel bad for the word itself. To say it right, feels so damn wrong.
"from Old French ribalt, from riber "be wanton, sleep around," from a Gmc. source (confer Old High German riban "be wanton," literature "to rub," possibly from the common euphemistic use of "rub" words to mean "have sex")"
Is that where the phrase "rub one out" comes from?

"ribald"
Yes, raising my hand. "Ribbled", eh. Never would have guessed.

I'll never win because I don't play.

Well, I got one number on two picks. C'est la vie, c'est la guerrre, c'est la pomme de terre.
Winning ticket was bought in Cottonwood. That's a tiny town on the way to Redding. I bet there's going to be some drama in Cottonwood.
A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.

In a couple days the start of 2050 will be as close to now as the start of 2000
F***!!!

The difference being, I was alive for 2000.

It was probably your tone....

Saying it wrong is obscene and humorously vulgar.

Dana Carvey was never very funny. He seemed dedicated, and eager to be goofy. I never felt he was talented.
In my opinion his best part was playing the church lady on SNL
And after looking at Tony Romo today…I don’t wanna hear anything else about Trump’s spray tan🤣🤣
Will all national anthems now at football games be saxophone solos? I'm all for it! Vocalists can suck it! 'Cause they suck!
