I've been playing the local lotto, on and off, in the last few weeks with my meal stipend...6 out of 49 twice a week...talked about this with Mid, who's trying a few too, LOL...

Been getting OK wins, actually...

But yeah, if I hit the big one, looks like a LAN party for the members roster is in order, har har...

I can dream, can't I?

Yea i play lotto sometimes, but usaully i have no luck, but good luck dante

I don't really play because of the terrible odds. But hey good luck! I wish you some good numbers.

LoL, it's a phase until I get decently employed...
Somehow adds some spice to an otherwise fulfilling existence (*snarf**snigger*)..

But yeah, mathematically interesting, the number of combinations: 49!X48!X47!...44! in total.
Anyone got some info on what occurs more frequently, eg struck by lightning?

personally I avoid all forms of gambling like the plague. Oh wait I'd rather have the plague....hmmmm. I see customers at work waste sooooo much money on the Chance that they can win, and most do not .
Usually (personal experience) the people who gamble the most are those who can't afford to.
It seems like a last ditch effort, or at the very least an alternative to working hard. Makes me sad really
But! I don't want to be a party-pooper, so good luck on yer quest for free money!

Well then, dudes...decided to invest in something more tangible, other than real estate on Mars or the moon:

LoL: the canine's:
56,969 pounds = 104,348 USD = 138,987 Canadian = 136,987 AUD

weird stuff, but interesting:

"Your soul is worth £17041. For your peace of mind, 55% of people have a purer soul than you."

"Your soul is worth £30982. For your peace of mind, 27% of people have a purer soul than you."

Well well.... Doh!!! But seriously I am not religous nor am I baptised. I live my life the way I want. Sure there is something out there beyond ourselves but to say what it is, I can't tell.

With the many beliefs and religions among our world I can't really say whats right or wrong. I find that we all have somewhat of a feeling there are greater powers beyond the scope of our exsistence. We are all within the kingdom of Animalia and the phylum of Chordata. The class of Mammalia, the order of Primates, the family of Hominidae and the genus of Homo. But it all comes down to the species of Sapiens. All of us have 10 toes and fingers and a mind to grasp the knowledge at hand. So does religion or skin colour really matter? --- This is just me thinking again and sorry if you had to read it.

61,114 pounds

Your soul is worth £8419. For your peace of mind, 83% of people have a purer soul than you.

Meh, what a stupid quiz. Most questions involve something I absolutely despise or would rather not answer. And charity doesn't give a "purer" soul, just means you're usually pretty stupid. Humbug.

LOL, I posted flippantly about that website, but seriously I learned a long, long time ago that most quizzes are worth doing because they are wonderful reflections about social/individual expectations...so apparently we are being exposed to one particular individual/group's view of "what is purity?".

Even more interesting is the emotion such questions generate in ourselves, for such reaction, whether contempt, frustration, trust, amusement, is fuel for contemplation which is almost too rare these days.

A merrily delphic "gnothi sauton" to you all...
