    Re: How much money have you won?

    I won $150 in the lottery once. I'm a huge Lost fan and always play the lottery when the jackpot gets really big. However, I'd never played Hurley's numbers from Lost before until this one time. The Lost numbers are 4 8 15 16 23 42 and the numbers that came up on the lottery that day were 4 8 15 25 47 42. So many people played them that they ended up paying out over $6 million in $150 winnings! It even made the news: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/hurle...016%2023%2042.

    It was totally creeping me out as I was reading the numbers! I feel like I never played them because I was secretly scared they'd jinx me. And then the one time I did they almost all came up. So weird. Especially because it was after the show had already ended.

    I used to love Lost, but I sort of lost interest in the last season and didn’t see it through. So many of them don’t act anymore do they. I saw Hurley in a film the other day though.

    Speaking of winning... ONE person in Arizona won the $410 MILLION dollar Mega Millions last night!

    It's worth a rewatch! I know a lot of people struggled with the final season, but it works a lot better when binge watched with the rest, I think. No, many of them aren't in much anymore. Hurley does a few thing. Jin was in Hawaii Five-O. Sun is a big Korean actress and was also in one or two US sitcoms after I think. I think the biggest star was Kate who was in the Antman movies.

    I'm a totally nutty Lost fan, haha. My husband and I went to Oahu for our honeymoon and visited SO many filming locations. I have a whole album of us recreating scenes. I think I've rewatched the whole series like 20 times. My picture on here is me pretending to be John Locke on the ranch where they filmed the island scenes. Nerd Alert.

    That's awesome, Erin!

    Yes, I also was into Lost, but was disappointed by the last season. It's like once the writers figured out that the rest of us has figured it out, they didn't know what to do LOL

    Old money huh? That's ok by me. Old/new it doesn't matter to me. I could be a kept man...a boy toy. it wouldn't even cost you that much... 50 bucks a week probably.

    Actually, I don't play the big jackpots. It would be too complicated. I can barely handle the money I make now! Don't get me wrong I wouldn't mind a two million-dollar annuity 20 year payout, maybe an extra fifty or sixty grand a year I could handle that no problem.

    I ran into an old friend's mother about a year ago and I asked how's Dave doing? He had hit the lottery for a million and a half a number of years ago and I actually think he received his last payment already. It was paid out over 20 years. She said "I wish he never won that money." We were good friends when he hit and I remember celebrating big time. But he got all screwed up from drugs and booze.

    So, like Alfred P. Doolittle, just give me my five pounds...but not ten because "it makes a man feel prudent like and then goodbye to happiness."
