Jackpot

So...it turns out there's a big $640 million jackpot up for grabs.

I have never purchased a lottery ticket...and I don't really know much about the lottery, or how they get that money.

Isn't it from ticket sales?

You know the mega millions lottery people are not going to give you ALL the money from the ticket sales...  Say they give 50%.  Does that mean Americans bought $1,280,000,000 worth of lottery tickets?  (Please tell me this isn't so!)

And we wonder why Congress has such a hard time controlling spending.

They are just like the rest of the population.

I saw this on The Week website:

Odds of winning are 1 in 175.7 million.

(So you're saying there's a chance?!?!?)

Happy Friday to all.

And good luck to you suckers who did buy a ticket.
