victims. It's $1, folks, think of the assistance that one could do!

4. It's better than giving a $1 to an organization that overpays it's

employees, Halliburton, Blackwater, etc. I figure what the hell, if ya wanna keep a few, no problem. Most of us here have no desire to be rich when people are starving around, the world!

5. And can you imagine a DU'er giving more than the Repubs?

Their heads would explode!

6. Maybe we could start a thread in the lounge.

Post numbers that have already been played, maybe.

7. Move over George Soros.

8. Goodness, I thought more people would want to participate,

because it such a small investment, with a possible good outcome. I guess people think it is throwing money away.

It does not go off until 11:00pm EST Tuesday night, so there is no rush to buy tickets!

11. I leave it up to God.

Of course, "God helps those who help themselves" so I occasionally buy a ticket. I don't spend more than $1, though -- it'd be insulting to God and she wouldn't like that.

9. I've been playing twice a week for a month now

And getting zilch, but I'll keep playing...

10. It's fun to imagine how much good one could do with that.

I'd want to fund a college scholarship program for single teen-age mothers, one that paid living expenses. I'd want to fund legal aid for the working poor, particularly in employment rights. It wouldn't be easy to do such things, of course. Maybe that'd make them even more worthwhile.

12. Kick for tomorrow
