]]> Comment on Getting the Most Out of a Lottery Ticket by mcgelligot http://www.mcgelligot.com/2008/05/14/getting-the-most-out-of-a-lottery-ticket/comment-page-1/#comment-11 mcgelligot Fri, 16 May 2008 13:49:56 +0000 http://www.mcgelligot.com/2008/05/14/getting-the-most-out-of-a-lottery-ticket/#comment-11 My good friend Andrew wrote this in response: I wish you luck on every lottery ticket you buy, the three or four in a year that is. I also commend you for all of the other weeks you didn't buy a ticket at all. Not only did you not lose the dollars it would have cost to buy the tickets, that are 99.9% guarenteed not to win. You actually 'won' $48 or $49 over the year aswell. Which is a 100% return on your non investment. Guarenteed! Adding the two together, it makes the lottery tickets left unbought in the ticket machines worth 299.9% more than they are worth immedietly after they are purchased. Unless of course the 00.01% dream becomes a reality. Andy. My good friend Andrew wrote this in response:
