Winning!

If you're like me, you dream of a family member winning the lottery and calling you with the kick-ass news.

I have certainly joined an office pool or two (with contracts) when hundreds of millions were at stake.   Because we had contracts, I can't claim that I never thought I would win.  But, really, I knew I wouldn't.

I don't play anymore, because I need that dollar.  If you still play, you may want to check out this widget created by a guy named Rob Cockerham at Cockeyed.

Forgo Solitaire, Snood, Angry Birds, or whatever the kids are playing these days and play this simulated lottery.  Choose between your own numbers or the lazily trusted auto-pick numbers.

You can even simulate what it would be to play twice a week for ten years and feel quasi-devastated that your return may be like mine at -90%.
