Yep…slow day at work. If I didn’t have to be here at work, I’d be at home weathering a once butt-ugly factory.
I’ll bet I’m the only person in the entire universe that would rather be building a model railroad model than sitting here at work.
Anyway, if I had a gazillion dollars, I wouldn’t have to be here at work. Sometimes life just don’t seem right.

Just bought a Powerball ticket, that should take care of it!
And your chances of winning just went from 0.00000000000
to about 0.00000000001.
IOW, you’re not really all that much better off than if you hadn’t bought a ticket at all. [:D]

I think the odds are 1:150000000 or so, so assuming (probably incorrectly) that I win alone, it is actually a good bet since the payoff is more than twice that. The curveball is that I’ll probably have to split it ten ways, and only get 34 mil. Rats!
Knowing my luck, I’d probably end up like that poor sod who won a $1M Nobel prize [economics or science, not sure which] then he had a heart attack and dropped dead 2 days later[:O]
Spacemouse,
I have the answer to your problem!
First you

After that you

But before all that though, you need to attatch the decoding device to your computer.
I have no idea how to do that.
Good luck [:p]
I’m retired and I don’t have to work. You will love it when you get there, but don’t wi***he present away for a questionable future. There are days I wish I could go back to work a little. That too was good and I certainly was younger. If I had all that money I would just have more kits I wouldn’t have time to build and engines I wouldn’t have time to run…
Space,
The hardest part of getting a gazillion is getting started. Once you get the first bazillion, the rest is easy.
If you were woman, your odds would be better to marry the President of the United States, get divorced and marry a millionaire. I don’t know where that stat came from, but my wife told it to me last night.
SpaceMouse for President!
Didn’t Jackie Kennedy/Onasis do something like that? Actually, I would think her odds would have been worse, adding the odds of divorce vs. homicide (homicide not committed by spouse, that is). If that hasn’t paid off in 35 years, it would seem about due.
On the other hand, a friend of mine’s dad once sat him down and gave him some good advice. “Son, you can marry more money in 5 minutes than you can make in the rest of your life.” He didn’t listen.
I figure you could skip that part. Trains in the White House basement! I like it!
That means that he has a 0.99999999 chance of losing the money. That’s the orientation to gambling that keeps the jingle in MY pocket.
I agree…Thats a tax I don’t have to pay!
I don’t do well with voluntary taxes.
Gee, I was president I could nationalize the railroads and play with the real thing. I’d probably needed a better power supply than my Zephyr. And a really good walkaround throttle. One that used the NSA satelites probably.
Quite true. Allthough with the payoff as high as it is it is not a bad bet, by the numbers. The only reason it doesn’t pay to buy every number when it gets this high (though if you could, you’d have no need to do so) is that there’s a really good chance that you don’t win alone. I’m so sure that I won’t win that I won’t even check the ticket until I hear where the winning ticket(s) was/were sold, if there are any.
heh heh heh. Spacemouse at the throttle! Yeeeeehaw![:)]
I must admit, that when you get down to it I don’t like the lotteries. I can lose the money that I put into it and not give a darn. Lots of people can’t, and don’t realize they don’t have a snowball’s chance in Tucson (just slightly cooler than the other place). And that disturbs me. So, if we win, a lot of it is not staying with us.
THE DECODING DEVICE! I HAVE ONE OF THOSE! IT’S RIGHT HERE…Wait…What’s this?..NO! Someone broke it! DERN!
There goes my advantage…
