Title: One number!!!
Post by: CygnusXI on May 09, 2001, 05:05:51 AM

First...Whooohoooo!!!

Second....Damn:(

I always play the Gopher 5 lottery here in Minnesota. Today I checked my ticket. I got 4 of the 5 numbers.

That\'s $250. but ONE MORE DAMN NUMBER (23) and I would have gotten 250,000....Arrhggghhhh.... Oh well, 250\'s cool:)

pretty sweet.  I (almost) hate that more than losing... you know, except for all the money...

I got 4/6 on 6/49 last year, 130 bucks, one more would have been 230k, and 2 more would have been 6 million...

our lottery here starts at 4 mil.....it topped off at 30 mil about 3 weeks ago......some lucky person wont have to work the rest of their life!  the most I won was 100 bucks...better than nothing I guess. you only get 8.8 mil for the cash option on super lotto.........out of 30 mil........now that sucks!  Why cant they just say 8.8 mil instead of 30 mil.......I think saying you get 30 mil is lying (taxes take out 3 mil or so)

Heh heh, in Canada lotteries are:

1) Completely TAX free.

2) Lump sum payments.

Congrats anyways, Cygnus! 250$ is a good amount of money - you can buy a game with it and still save a lot. Don\'t think what you COULD\'VE winned, but what you won...
