4. When I become a 1%er tomorrow night, it will be My Turn to screw the 99%!

Fear Me, Maggots!

5. Sadly, Winning the Lottery Won't Make You a 1%er

More like a 5%er. The 1% would consider you poor at $300 million net of taxes.

6. I stopped playing the lottery a while back.

I've come to the conclusion that it is fixed and no normal person wins. It's like a carnival game. You might win $5 or $10 after you've spent hundreds, but you're not going to get the big prize.

7. I play one ticket. Dreams are worth the $2

And I have lots of dreams of what I would do with that money.
