Not a Children posted:My great uncle played a prank on my grandfather once, about 40 years ago. The lottery had gotten up to a few tens of millions and they and their wives threw in for about 50 tickets each on a whim. They went out the night of the drawing and didn't make it back til late. The next morning, my great uncle woke up before my grandfather, grabbed a newspaper to check the winner, and went to the local gas station to buy a ticket with the winning numbers. Then he mixed that ticket in with the ones they had bought the day before. After everyone woke up and was working their way through the tickets, my grandfather found the one with the matching numbers. My great uncle (who, each time he tells this story, exaggerates the difficulty he had in keeping a straight face a little bit more) holds off for a bit to allow him and the two ladies to celebrate, going through the list of things they'll do with the money, singing songs and drinking whiskey with them as the "win" sunk in. After about a half hour, my uncle tells them to take a look at the date on the ticket. He says that the only other time my grandfather had that particular expression on his face was on the day of their mother's death. My grandfather chased him out of the house with a gun and didn't talk to him for about a month. My grandma did the same thing to my grandpa, but he strangled her and tried to burn her body in the basement fireplace.

ANIME IS BLOOD posted:wanna meet that uncle He's hella cool. He did well for himself, spent most of his career jetsetting for some advertising firm. Married a woman 18 years his junior, still with her at the ripe old age of 86. Now he's slightly losing his marbles but he's still a super sweet, hilarious old guy. I'm visiting him this weekend and I'm gonna hit the horse track with him and his gambling buddies.

Think I'll drop  on today's lottery, I'll get more enjoyment out of it than I would buying a couple of drinks with that cash instead.

I haven't bought a ticket since the last time it got huge. Watching the RNC makes me think the country is close to collapsing anyway.

Dude with that kind of money you could, like, I don't know, build, fortify, arm and fill with all of the food and booze an awesome fortress for you and your homies and some sluts and could just kill roaming post-apocalyptic gangs from behind your huge walls in between orgies. It could have a moat for fucks sake!
