Lisa and I play powerball and megamillions pretty regular. More regular when I get in the groove. I try to grab a couple tickets when I get coffee, it's my retirement plan.
Recently, we have put it to the man for $28, $28, $7, $7, and $7. That's all in less than a year's time.
I'm not sure how long they can continue to take this kind of beatdown, but you guys should get in on it while they're giving money away.
Any other big winners here?

Congratulations! Are you going to keep working or retire and travel?

We're greedy. We keep the money in what I like to call "the special pocket" in Lisa's purse. Then we reinvest it from time to time when we feel especially lucky.
I'm retired, and I'm traveling this very moment. If it weren't for that, I'd do what you said.
:-)
(I think I'm getting hosed on the travel deal, by the way. There's snow. There's no snow in the kind of travel I like. I'm guessing I missed the fine print.)

You gotta buy new tickets all the time, mang. I know that sounds a bit like a racket, but it really works!!!
