CowgirlsFan Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 I commit to ten bucks a week - 6 for the Pick Three box, 2 bucks for both days' MegaMillion draw, and now 2 bucks for a Powerball pick. What should I do with this windfall? I wish we had OTB like NY and PA - the odds of getting back your dough is generally 12 to 1. Join a health club..add it to the travel fund or send some to Rockpile on behalf of MS
Clip Smith Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Clip never did me wrong. I'll put a buck straight and a buck boxed on that number tomorrow. A couple of years ago, a poster here gave out a 6 digit MegaMillions number that returned $3 for my dollar. Looks like the Ohio Lottery Pick-3 machine has some sticky balls. 679 pulls up tonight......I almost thought I blew the karma early for you.

Clip Smith Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 You did your best, Clipper...the balls flew, and settled on 564. http://www.ohiolottery.com/ I take it you didn't bet 1st pair? Just like approaching a stop sign.....looks like the Clipper went 3 too far.

OH says you can play pairs, but after trying unsuccessfully now and then for years, I conclude that they are lying. I've even wasted time talking to lottery agents - useless - they are nothing but a (numerous) bunch of patronage job hacks... It was a snap in Pennsylvania. OH's lotto games are terrible anyway you look at them. Within a couple of months after taking over for the previous turd (Bob Taft - R) Governor Ted Strickland - D demanded that the various lotto games' odds of winning be reduced.
Chef Jim Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Invest it in a mutual fund that way by the time you die at an average 8% it will be worth $327.41. You've got your affairs in order correct?

You've got your affairs in order correct? Got a line on a no-load mutual fund these days paying 8% and won't abscond with the dough in 6 months, or pump and dump to fatten the big boys' wallets?
