    To point out that the Carolinas haven't been a single enity since the 1700s or so and that you were in SC not NC. Things have been a little hectic here, sorry folks.

    On the lottery thing we're in. One detail that needs deciding is how we'll handle prizes that are less than the jackpot. Reinvest up to what point??? devide at what point??? etc.

    We can reinvest on the tickets if we win 300 buy 300 tickets and so on untill we hit a big one and in a case like that we can decide weather to buy land or devide it up with the ones that put in. if we win a few grand, put it up for GE emergencies, we always are having one :).. or buy land.

    If we hit small pot roll it over till we win big. Whoever collects the $ and buys the tickets can pot the numbers of the tickets to keep everyone abreast of what numbers are being played and can follow along and everyone will know if we won and how much.

    Ranger, I knew several Skys. I would need a description of him, from him. I left a post for him on that link. Cool.

    .
    The lottery…

    What if we started a Disneyland and made a couple hundred million.

    The odds of winning are 10 million times better then a lottery. I need Chris.

    Yes, that's what it said on the news. Wood County. One of the only two counties of the State of Texas that does not have a fire raging in it.

    You Lucky Girl You.

    Hey Kenny,
    We would need a few million to start 'disneyland..it's the seed money that comes hard. The start money. After it's built then the $ come flowing in.. but you first have to have something for it to flow through.

    There is just as much chance raising the $ as there is in playing the numbers to get the start money. There are still some of us that play the lottery. It could happen, it happens to other folks, why not us.. we got good karma dont we. We deserve something for all our trouble in the 60s/70s.

    You dont like my idea.. do you have one?!? One that will work, one that will bring in the $$ needed to build. If so, bring it forth and lets get on with it.

    Okay. What are the odds at winning the lottery? Can you look 'em up for us?
    ROFL

    Quote:
    Your actual odds of winning the lottery depend on where you play, but single state lotteries usually have odds of about 18 million to 1 while multiple state lotteries have odds as high as 120 million to 1.

    …With the US population being approximately 265 million people, that means that the chances of being killed by lightning are roughly 2,650,000 to 1. Not very likely. However you are still 6 to 45 times more likely to die from a lightning strike than you would be to win the lottery.
    End of the Quote.

    Kenny:
    If I work real hard and save up ten thousand bucks and go to Las Vegas and place it all at once on a crap table and roll, then my chances of winning are almost 50 50. Win or Lose.
    The pay is 1 to 1. Or $10,000 will get another $10,000 plus I keep my 10.
    $20,000 or All gone.

    Each time I play I can ether win or I can lose. For every 2 times that I play, I will win 1 time, on average. So then I have 1 chance of winning for every 2 throws of the dice.

    2 - 1 odds.

    Craps 2 to 1

    Lottery 18,000,000 to 1
    Super 120,000,000 to 1

    lightning 2,650,000 to 1

    I'm just painting the picture here.
    You choose.

    Sorry, but I have actually gone to Nevada a couple of times in my life and sat in casinos and played straight seven card stud for 5 or 6 days straight. Once in South Lake Tahoe and one time in Laughlin. I do know how to not lose and how to come ahead. :)

    OK. So are you gonna take the 75 a week and go to vagas and play cards and win the jackpot.

    I would love to have enough cash to play blackjack.. it is a 50/50 chance and the odds are not with the house as the other games are.

    We could set a time where we all vibe for winning numbers at the precise time of purchasing the ticket and see if that has any affect on the outcome.

    I BELIEVE it can happen for us is we are all thinking positive about it.

    Actually the house has at least a 1.2 percent edge over any player in Blackjack.
    The odds are absolutely with the house.

    The house doesn't have any games that they don't have an edge on. Otherwise they wouldn't make any money on it. And that kind of game would not be taking up their valuable floor space and they sure wouldn't be paying real money to an employee to stand there and deal the game.

    First off, consider this. If you hit and go over 21 (bust) you are out. The dealer is still in. You go first. They go second. That's an edge. You go first. They are second.
    You hit first.

    In all games the house has the advantage. They are a business. With a big electric bill.

    In Poker you are not playing against the house. The house is not in the game at all. It's you verse the other people. However, the house takes 3 and a half percent out of every pot. (Jackpot.) So, that if the pot is $100. they pull $3.50. (A table and dealer rent fee) If you won that hand you would get $96.50. Some of that money would have been the money that you had put in as your bets.

    I will totally help out in "thinking positive about it." :sunny:
    I'm real good at vibing for winning numbers. I'm also pretty good at vibing out slot machines that are going to pay.

    Lots of Love

    I have an indian casino 9 miles from here. 75 a week? Sure. Why not.

    I just want to get to the next crashed flying saucer before the military does, and have the cell phone number of a guy who owns a tractor with a flatbed trailer and who knows a guy with a crane, and they will both expect my gold card for payment. That's what I want.

    We would be talking tens of billions. At least

    I get that you dont think that the lottery is The way but it is A way. There are many roads leading to Rome or more then one way to skin a cat.

    It was just a window if anyone had something better to do. It's not set in stone.. you dont have to play.. IDK.. I just would like to do someting to get us what we would need to do what we want to do.

    I know what you mean.

    But I am serious about the flying saucer thing.

    Or If that never happens, we could write a screen play based on the idea, and sell the movie rights and make millions. Cool? Lets ask Wild Bill if he thinks it has merit. He'll have a clue.

    You can do the lotto. I only do it when it's Mega.
