I don't think that adjective could apply to me in any sense.

Up to $400 Million for PowerBall.

PowerBall is the $2/ticket one. $10/person?

I can buy... I'll be buying for the work group, so we can all pool together, if that is cool?

A lot of people have been interested in this drawing, perhaps because we're going through our annual performance review cycle right now. But, most people at work have only put in $2-6. Winning are pro-rated based on contribution.

Right now, $10 entry = $11.6 million after taxes, one-time payout, give or take. I expect one or two more people to enter the pool before it's final. We're up to 60 tickets ($120).

You'd just waste it all on male whores.

MegaMillions up to $400M, buying for work tomorrow. It's $1/ticket, so $5 is a typical buy-in.

Sent $5.

I need to buy next time to refill my PayPal account. That was my last $5 in there. :D
