To put it into some degree of perspective .... your odds of winning the Powerball Lottery are 1 in 175,223,510.

GO BEARS!!!

At our house we have instantly won a Quarter Pounder, Fries, and a free 8x8 picture book from shutterfly.
And all we have purchased is coffee and hot chocolate.

I've never won anything from Powerball.

Maybe you should try harder.

I've got a ducket for medium fries sitting at work somewhere ... the question is what are the odds I actually remember to redeem it.

I think the last 6 months or so their sales are dropping.

I send money and prayers to those MF'ers. Doesn't work.

Did the food prizes add up to more than the $24.50 postage?

Actually postage was over $50 you had to pay for both ways. and it did. I gave most of it away to people who came into the food pantry at Salvation Army when I was volunteering there. I think the only ones I really kept was breakfast

there was a guy in milwaukee who bought a big mac and the two stickers were boardwalk and park place. it was like a billion to one shot or something like that.

they didnt pay him lump sum... rather 50k/yr (which he has to take taxes out every year) for 20 years. he was only 30 years old and unemployed when he won, so he will have to go back to work when he is 50.
