Have you ever used the numbers to play the lottery?

[Turnip Queen]

I've thought about doing it but haven't yet - wouldn't it be the freakiest thing ever if you won with those numbers???

[Hanz Gropenfondel]

I've thought about it ...
But, I doubt I will play them.
I don't want to be responsible for Trisha Tanaka's demise!

[Turnip Queen]

HAHAHA I'd love a meteor to hit my job though :D

[Hanz Gropenfondel]

:D Yeah, that'd be glorious! :D
... as long as I'm not in it!!!:eek:

[Turnip Queen]

No, we'd be fine, it'd only be the annoying people who'd get hit :)

I thought about it once and decided there are probably 100 other people playing the Lost numbers. You'd have to share it so many ways that winning wouldn't be worth much. But maybe I'm wrong. Perhaps we'll find out from the responses here.

I'm with james. Thought about it, but then realized how many other people play those numbers.

Not smart to play numbers others are likely to play.

There was a case of some fortune cookie numbers winning and it got split a ton of ways.

Lottery tickets are only worth around 50 cents(on the dollar) to begin with. If you aren't playing for the entire jackpot amount it gets even worse.
Though tickets can theoretically become worth more than the $1 value if the jackpot goes unwon for long enough. However, I haven't seen that happen yet(I calculated the necessary amount).

[bunnydixon]

thought about it but i dont even play the lottery lol!

[hunter8768]

I did. I didn't win with them or even come close to getting any of the numbers so I didn't use them anymore.

I recently got my parents interested in Lost...and they've been watching the first season.

My dad is an avid lottery player, plays every day and he told me the other day that he plays the lost numbers (daily, if not weekly).

I about flipped out on him. I've always talked with my friends about how you have to be out of your mind to play those numbers, like you are just tempting fate. I told him I wouldn't have any part of his winnings if he won.

I'm too scared to play them, but apparently there are still people connected with the real world to realize Lost is just a tv show...

[agmic]

nope, don't play them, just let the computer pick my numbers. If I would use those numbers, I would have to play every drawing, because the day that I missed would be the day that they would hit...

[Turnip Queen]

Damn, that just reminds me, the euromillions was on tonight and I didn't watch it! I could be a millionaire and not know it!

[jacksnurse]

NO...BUT...have thought about it.....lately esp...i have been thinking about lottery winnings....our md lottery was up to 276 mill the other day....damn if i didn't forget to go buy one....man i spend lots of time thinking about what i would spend it on but forget to play alot...lol

[Turnip Queen]

Ah yes, I'm like that too, I forget to play! I get really annoyed when I pay for a lottery ticket and then don't win - it's a disgrace!

[jacksnurse]

or i play and totally 4get to even check it out on tv then months later notice it all messed up in my jeans pocket from the wash>>>>>LOL...reallllll smarttttt

I've never understood why people would make an investment into something with such poor odds. Statistically, nearly every single person who has ever played the lottery came out worse off than they would have been had they not played. There are so many other things you can do with your dollar that will provide you with a better guaranteed return than the lottery. I hate to say it but it truly is the idiot's tax.

[jacksnurse]

rain...its not i play often....maybe once every 3 or 4 mos....anyway....there are many ways of gambling in this world....chill:)

[Turnip Queen]

HAHAHA Yeah I'll play it when I remember to do it, if you're not in you can't win! I just dream about not having to work and going on holidays all the time, and every time I play the lotto I think I'm gonna win!

[Jedinate]

I've thought about it and then decided to look up, on the lottery website, how often they were played and it was something like 16,000 times per drawing.

The closest they had come to winning was 3 of the #'s. I decided to play my normal numbers and lost...

The investment is small compared to the return ($1 per ticket -- millions cash prize).


Anyhoo, i tried the numbers once and all I won was a coconut j/k:D
