Are you kidding? Republicans pay a crap ton of taxes. This is just voluntary.

"You’re far more likely to die a horrible death than win. The statistics say that, compared with winning the lottery, you are 33 times as likely to be killed by bees, 50 times as likely to be struck by lightning, 8,000 times as likely to be murdered and 20,000 times as likely to be killed in a car crash." (via time.com)

3/30/2012 8:06:11 PM

Actually, after you win you're far more likely to die a violent death as well.

3/30/2012 8:08:20 PM

the lottery system is really a taxation program for people who dream of being rich=average Republican who supports taxing rich people less.

3/30/2012 8:09:55 PM

Yes, the lottery appeals more to Republicans... /sarcasm.

3/30/2012 8:11:46 PM

everyone I was with bought some today so I got 5 sets of numbers for the hell of it

3/30/2012 8:20:41 PM

If I win, an offer goes out to every TWWer to blow me for a mil

3/30/2012 8:24:00 PM

Sounds like a good deal to me

I'm first, please. Gotta get that money

^4 that wasn't the point. the point was that republicans don't like paying taxes except for playing the lottery.

That blows.

3/30/2012 11:18:41 PM

Matched 2 numbers on one line, and the MB on another. That's nothing, right?

[Edited on March 30, 2012 at 11:24 PM. Reason : Eh, looks like $2 for the MB]

I already answered your question. Let me know when I can pick that piece of trash up and make sure it gets recycled or whatever.

3/30/2012 11:30:10 PM

3/30/2012 11:30:16 PM
