    I'll make that deal, given that I consider the lottery a tax on people who don't understand statistics image

    I don't know if he won the lottery but saintguru gave away a very expensive coin!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.



    The name is LEE!

    Sure...if a guy buys billion dollar coins, he could have a million dollar coin give-away. That seems about right.

    I understand the statistics, but I still occassionally play the lottery (as well as gamble at blackjack and craps). For some of us, it is a minor vice and we aren't too miserly and want to enjoy some fun image

    I participate in the lotto pool at work. For the $5 or so a week it provides me and my co-workers quite a bit of entertainment image

    If you won something, I'm in on the giveaway!!! image

    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

    I never won the lottery but have been known to give a lot away.

    I often hand out low grade Seated Dimes to young kids at shows just to see them smile. It is worth far more than the $4 I would spend at Starbucks, you should try it sometime.
    I seldom check PM's but do check emails often jason@seated.org

    Buying top quality Seated Dimes in Gem BU and Proof.

    Buying great coins - monster eye appeal only.

    True that, but a life lived only within statistical probability is going to be a fairly dull life.

    Some years ago my mother in law hit the lottery , she called up my wife all excited, the $25 she hit on the scratch off did not result in any dividends for the rest of the family.

    Actual story.

    Definitely way cooler than the 1909-S PCGS graded Lincoln I gave away last year!!! The Matte Proof Lincoln lasvegasteddy gave away last year was pretty darn generous as well image

    Thinking back on just how many of those you found in OBWs, I could see arguing that you did hit the lottery. image

    Seriously, that was one of the more generous giveaways I've seen, and if I did happen into some sort of windfall I'd like to think I'd find a way to share my good fortune.
