Docwheelhorse 2,561 #1 Posted January 10, 2016 When I win the 900+ million Powerball tonight I will take whatever share would be needed (within reason ....) and go straight to TORO and get them to start producing new 5xx series Wheel Horses with either an 8 speed or the Eaton 1100 . Fuel injected engines with closed evap systems would take care of one of the issues that caused Toro to discontinue them ---EPA wanted a closed fuel system... 42 and 48 plows, a forward swept heavy duty front end, 2 stage snow blowers... 42 rd , 42, 48 and 60 sd decks... on and on... Boy it would be nice... There's how I would "waste" some of it.... and even if I had to loose money on every one I would make them affordable so everybody could own one.

KC9KAS 4,741 #3 Posted January 10, 2016 I figured I had a better chance of being struck by lightning on a sunny day in the middle of Main Street, so I saved my money! I have said before, "I don't have any bad habit's"!.....Well, maybe a couple, but I have to work too hard for my $$ so I don't gamble it away! Good Luck to those of you that do! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WNYPCRepair 1,875 #7 Posted January 10, 2016 I never play the lottery. Which makes it weird that I have had a recurring dream for years that I won. The amount? $800 million. So yesterday, I flip on the news and they said it was up to 800 million. I still almost didn't, but then I thought if I didn't, I would always wonder. So I went out and played a few games, so we will see. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WNYPCRepair 1,875 #10 Posted January 10, 2016 I have no doubt I will lose, but if I didn't play, I would always wonder, because of that stupid dream 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's pretty consistent, you lose about 90 to 93 percent of the time, regardless of how much you play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
