Any TORnsibs fare better in tonight's half a billion dollar Powerball drawing? Again my NZ trip goes on the trash heap of dreams!

Three would have won us $7, but we didn't even do that well.

I saw a visual demonstration of your odds of winning, starring a man who stood backwards on top of a sky scraper and tried to throw a nickle into a paper cup over his shoulder. I know it's not about odds it's about luck, but still...

"your odds of winning the lottery are infinitesimally higher if you actually buy a ticket."
I buy a ticket for our state lottery from time to time. I figure the fantasies I enjoy about what I'd do if I won are worth a dollar, and it goes to our schools.
Did you see the fourth "Alien" movie where Sigourney Weaver is walking out of a gym and tosses a basketball over her shoulder without looking and makes a basket at the other end of the gym?

I had a list of things to do with the winnings. *sigh* Dreaming is fun, though ;)
I really need these new films to take me back to, and not re-introduce me to, that magical world.
