This link will give you up to the minute updates worldwide on covid19.

Before you play there are 2 choices to make. Low sum or high sum and consecutive pair or no consecutive pair. Choose correctly and you go from 120 combos down to 30. Not a bad starting point.

So why is it that people have to buy so much TP at a time? Supermarkets, pharmacies, gas stations, and banks are essential and will remain open. If you normally buy a 12 pack a week, why are buying a 48 pack? You can't tell me you are not going to leave your house at all for an entire month. If everyone just bought their normal amount there would be no shortages and there would plenty for everyone.

Hey grwurston -

I double down with on your observations and so does Dr Oz who also recommends washing hands like a surgeon!

Dr. Mehmet Oz also says it's the 'patriotic duty' of Americans to go without masks

So I went to Safeway, late this morning. No TP. So I asked customer service when will the next shipment of TP be coming in. The guy (one of the stockers) said, probably tonight or tomorrow. Then he said they had some this morning but it was gone by 5:30 am. I asked what time they opened? He said 5:00 am.

So then I thought let me try Walmart. They had 2 pallets 6 feet high of 24 packs. I took one. Whew!!! Now I'm good to go.

I sent the Wisconsin lottery an email the other day. I requested they start printing lottery tickets on toilet paper. Haven't heard back from them yet. LOL

Now that is Funny!!

You would want to check to see if they have a Second Chance Game of some kind before you Re-purpose those thickets.

You can't expect the Lottery to redeem a "soiled" ticket, can you?

I haven't bought anything in person since they recommended the old folks stay away from everyone. But now everyone else has the same idea to buy their groceries online, so there's no inventory or delivery times available, so I'll probably have to go out and try my luck at the store. This grocery lottery is my new game. The odds are sh*t and the prize is TP.

Spain just shut down their Lottery. I wonder if the US will do the same.

As long as el gorditotito is up again by Christmas we will be fine. Thats the only game people in the US care about anyway. I think I might possibly buy a share this year. Hope I can make it though, i just fasted on sunday, and i am having a devilish hankering for some bat soup and pangolin steak.

Tennessee lottery is a business. It will not payout more than it brings in. It’s one of the worst in my opinion.

Sales down payout will be down. Plus with jobs being lost pay checks are cut and your choice is food or lottery. I’m picking food. Lol

Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing.

Make sure you iron dollar bills you get from the store, including tickets.

Don't know if this matters but I heard the virus dies after 1 hour on cardboard. Seems to me paper is the same thing. Up to 3 hours on plastic and steel and can remain in the air for up to 3 hours.
