I matched 4 of 6 lottery numbers......

...and won a whopping $40. I'm thinking of that $$ and just buying more tickets (it's up to 4.6 million I believe). I hardly ever play the lottery but when it gets up over 3 million I usually buy a ticket. My husband wants me to take the whole $40 and run- What do you think?

just take a few and get some more ---then ....take hubby out and have a nice quiet supper together .....is Dystarts still there.......they always made a nice meal.....so does Weathervane....go out and EAT

and run!

Take $20 and buy tickets, take the other $20 and RUN.

This is the strategy DH and I used on our first trip to Vegas, and whenever we won, we took half and played, and half and put it away. We came home having paid for 2 of our 4 hotel nights this way!

debster, that's how I do it.

That's what I was thinking.... buy $20 in tickets and keep the other half. I have won $40 probably half a dozen times.... still waiting for "the big one" though!

Run where on 40 bucks? It might take 40 bucks for gas for a WDW trip.

Congrats on your windfall, Lorelei. I think the most I've ever won at 1 time on the lottery was $6. What were your numbers?

 

[Mermaid02]

I let the machine pick the number..... I'm feeling lucky so I think I'll do half the $$ in tickets! It would take me WAAAAAAAYYYY more than $40 to buy gas to get to WDW!

I live a little less than 600 miles from "home". It might take $50. It's according to how fast we drive (aka how much of a hurry we are to get there ).

I wish I felt lucky.

Go with buy $20 worth and keep the other $20.

That's what I did this morning- I bought $20 of "easy pick" tickets and spent the other $20 on groceries! Maybe I'll hit it big on Wednesday! If I'm here Thursday asking which DELUXE to stay in at WDW.... you'll know I won! I've never bought so many tickets before- it felt weird!!
