qurlyjoe<p>I browse thru the Apple News app every day and I’ve noticed there seem to be a lot of stories lately about people winning various <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/lottos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lottos</span></a>. The big nation-wide ones in the US, <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Powerball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Powerball</span></a> and <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Megamillions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Megamillions</span></a>, have been around for decades. Megamillions recently raised the price of a ticket from $2 to $5. I wonder if sales are down, and they’re pushing these stories to offset the loss in income. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/TaxOnStupidity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TaxOnStupidity</span></a></p>

Never again</p>
Jason Stiff<p>I see that the Mega Millions lottery has changed their game. They've raised the price of tickets from $2 to $5, but they eliminated one of the Mega Balls, so there's only 24 instead of 25. The result: A HUGE jump in your odds of winning! The new odds of winning the jackpot have soared from 1 in 302,575,350 to 1 in 290,472,336! SO much more likely now! Woo hoo! Giddy up!</p><p><a href="https://sfba.social/tags/MegaMillions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MegaMillions</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/lottery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lottery</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/odds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>odds</span></a> <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/gambling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gambling</span></a></p>

!JDA HAS MOVED!<p>Morning Mastodonians!</p><p>Not much planned for <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>today</span></a>. While I miss having a car, I also don't miss the twice-daily roundtrip commute, so it is a net positive when my wife drives herself to work. It will be another gorgeous autumn(!) day here in New England, so I'll take the dogs for a walk. I have to do it twice now because Obi doesn't have the energy, while Phineas has twice as much. I didn't win <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/Megamillions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Megamillions</span></a>, so I will have to work some too. Maybe 4 Guys Co-op will finish <a href="https://social.sdf.org/tags/SeriousSam" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeriousSam</span></a> 4 tonight.</p>
