Who says you have to gamble to win the lottery? "You can't win if you don't buy a ticket". Not true at all, my friends.

If you buy a ticket, what are the odds of winning? Something like 16 million to 1, right? (I know, depends on the lottery agency).

16 million to 1....so, in practical terms, almost zero. Almost. On a scale the marker would be so close to zero you would say, yeah, almost zero.

And what are the odds of winning the lottery if you did not buy a ticket? Zero? Au contraire. There is still a tiny chance you can win the lottery without even buying a ticket. For example, you could be sitting in the park at lunch and a ticket that fell out of someone's pocket could blow up at your feet. Likely? No, not at all, the odds of that happening are almost zero.

Just like the odds of you buying a ticket and winning. Almost zero.

But still possible!

And so, if I ever do win the lottery, when they interview me with the big check on live TV, I'm gonna declare, "This is great, I didn't even buy the winning ticket, I found it on the beach, under an issue of Mad magazine."

Three millions?

This is so riduculous. Why don't they make one million the max, and then give one million to three different players, with close numbers?!

What i would do with three millions? Lots of ideas
Pay the missing house rates, build a big garden pond, plan some holidays to where i have not been before, become self-reliant maybe with lending yachts, make a pilot license and build an 1:1 Etrich Taube replica to fly with, finally write the two books i never have time for, buy an Austin Healey 3000 in perfect condition and a Triumph Spitfire Mk. III in same. Get some Live steam model locomotives and build a garden railway, or buy a lathe and do it myself. Go sailing, North sea and round GB, then elsewhere, visit friends... i guess some shoes for the wife have to be included

Oops just came down to reality again
