Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's the Murphy Salmon Jody.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
After the show podcast, Jody was poking a little fun
at me for my little excursion last night.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
Well, I wasn't trying to poke fun at you. I
love that you bought us the lottery tickets.
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Which I mean I do.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It comes back with lottery tickets and snacks.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Beef jerky, and the girls do think it's kind of
you know, they think it's crazy, but I'd like the
fact that if that they're learning the responsible way to
handle that, you know what I mean. I know that
that's like the public service announcement at the end of
every commercial, play responsibly, but it's true because it is,
you know, and it looks some people are predisposed to
get really carried away with that. But you know, I mean,
for me, the whole thing is like, yeah, you know,
(00:36):
I mean, it's it's fun, it's cool. But you know,
if you're going to play, just buy one set of numbers.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
That's all you need.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
The odds do not change unless you start buying thousands
of tickets, which would would be a big mistake. Yeah,
because you know, whatever the odds or whatever, and how
many ever many millions. So I mean to me, you know.
I mean, if it's it's something I want to pop
two bucks for, you know, once a week or something
like that.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
What a urphy.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
Do you have your set of numbers that you play
or do you have quick picks?
Speaker 3 (01:03):
No?
Speaker 2 (01:03):
I used to do sets and numbers a long time ago.
But I just, I mean, keep it simple, you know
what I mean, just a quick pick.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
It's funny when I used to do it, when it
first came out and it was a novelty and you
had to do a specific I had my numbers. Yeah,
And now that I do it and quick pick, the
results are the same.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
I'm still here. You know though.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Your mom plays, Yeah, she plays every week religiously. She's
got her numbers. I think they're all based on the
grandkid's birthdays.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
Oh that's so sweet.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
And she's always said that when when I win, not if,
but when I win. You know, I'm spreading this all around,
paying everybody's houses and cars.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
That's sweet.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
You know the thing about that, I've read this before,
also playing birthdays. It's a common thing, but more win
most actual winners have done quick picks. Yeah, because it's random.
I mean, it's it's the purely random moment. That apparently,
and I don't know how much it increases your odds
or anything like that, but it just so happens that
almost every major powerball lottery MAGA millions, whatever winter.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
It was a quick pick, right, which is like a hey,
put that in your cap whatever. Remember that. The reason
I think it's funny is that because forever, from the
time our kids understood what it was and that Dad
was buying it, they have always had a like they
just always be like, oh, Dad, you're not gonna win that.
And I keep thinking, keep saying it, kids, we might win.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
You know.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
They when we stop at a convenience store and they're like,
what are we getting and fele go, probably a lottery ticket.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
You know.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
It's funny about that. The same kids who say that
you're never gonna win are the kids that'll bug you
for fifty cents repeatedly for the Claw game.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
You're not gonna win.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
That's their lottery.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah, although the girls did win the Claw a lot
they I mean, there were a lot of stuffed animals
that came home.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I don't know how they had the magic.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
They found one machine that wasn't as difficult, and they
would make a bee line to it. Now, how much
money did we drop into that?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Exactly?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
It didn't get it every first try, So you know
we probably paid ten to fifteen bucks for a little
round stuffed thing, deeply made.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Now, okay, I need some more strategy here, Murphy. Do
you go to the places? Do you have a place
you go to all the time?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Now, it's whatever place i'm near that I pull over
to that one.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
You know how the ones that have had a winner
they put the sign up or yeah we had a winner,
we had one hundred thousand dollars winner.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Now we're a lucky spot.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
I know.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
But that's also can go the other way. Lightning doesn't
strike twice. So do you go to the lucky spot?
Or you say, well that's been used to go to
another spot.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
That's a good little thought.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
Yeah, I'm no statistician. I don't know how that factors
into because it's already the odds are bad enough, you know,
ricky enough with odds, right, Yeah, odds are odds, and
so you know, I mean you're already millions to one
in on it. Does randomizing the location make a difference?
I don't know, I don't I don't know that it
actually impacts the odds. But but see that's that whole.
(03:56):
You don't wash your football jersey on a certain day,
right exactly.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
I mean it's the.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Whole, the way you feel it.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Everybody kind of has their own little thing that they do. Yeah,
because I'll see people at the kiosk, you know, picking
their numbers out, and if there's anything wrong with that,
I just choose not to do that. To me, it's entertainment,
you know.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
The I don't think to do it. You are always
the one that does it.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
I mean, because it's just fun. It's kind of it's mindless.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
So that's why I'm not a good card player, you know,
and are our cousin Philip oh Man. But he's got
the strategy, he knows how to do that. He doesn't lose.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
In fact, we're playing poker Thanksgiving with them again look out.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
But but we don't play for real cash. But whenever
he goes and plays for real cash in legal places
just so you know, these aren't you know, behind closed
door illegal games.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
He also loves the lottery and scratch offs, and so
if you are stock for him, it's it makes it
so fun you give him, you know, scratch offs and
a stocking for Christmas, and he is happy. I will
never forget when he was new to the family a
long time ago and somebody gave him scratch offs one year,
(05:02):
like at Christmas, and my grandmother was like, what you know,
like you she was like, that's gambling.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Well the preacher's wife she wasn't about that, right, It's.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Like scratch offs in my living room. You know, that's
funny anyway.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I uh, maybe we should get fill up to buy
a lottery ticket for us next time. He's the one
that seems to have that luck that follows him. But
you know, I mean, if you keep it light and
it's entertainment, you know, and you don't get caught up
in it, That's the thing.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
I guess.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I want the girls in them more than anything else.
They already think it's goofy. But if they do get
old enough, like oh Wayne, I would like to try this,
they need to understand that you don't really increase your
odds by you know, starting to drop twenty and fifty
And you.
Speaker 4 (05:42):
Know, would you tell a cashier when you give her
your two bucks? You know, I'm not really increasing my
odds by buying more, So just give me one.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It's just the way they feel about it. And I
love that they have their own mind about things like that.
I didn't want. I don't want our kids to only
adopt our philosoph you know. I want them to think
for themselves. That's what life is. So they don't want
to buy a lotto stuff. They don't have to.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
But what happens when you hit the big jackpot our philosophy,
you don't get the money.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
No, I'll be more like your mom, everybody.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
That's it.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Yeah, my grandmother used to do the same thing that
you were talking about. Your mom does, Sam, where she
was very you know, always positive. Honey, this is going
to be the winning ticket now. Of course, she passed
away at ninety seven and never won.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah, but one another way.
Speaker 2 (06:28):
Theoretically she won the lottery by living to ninety seven, right,
she won the health lottery.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
She actually did. She missed any part of the show
