Right. If you want to bet on the same number to come up in two consecutive future weeks the odds are odds^2. The odds of the same number coming up this week as did last week are odds.

Just ask Tiffany's to give you the ring if you get struck by lightning within the next week or so. I'm sure they'll agree.

Is she really that cute to go over crazy over winning the lotto just to buy her a ring?

*Im not stating you are not cute its just a question since I've never seen a picture of you but I will do my homework now and return with reviews*

Anyone has a pic so I see if I should play the lotto too?
