Lottery Quotes - page 3
You know, if you're an American and you're born at this time in history especially, you're lucky. We all are. We won the world history Powerball lottery, but a little modesty about it might keep the heat off of us. I can't stand the people who say things like, "We built this country!" You built nothing. I think the railroads were pretty much up by 1980.
Bill Maher
The American Dream can come in many different ways for many different people. It doesn't have to come in the way they explain it to you. Now, the American Dream can come if a guy hits the lottery. Who in the world thought he would hit a lottery? That's the American Dream for him. But I look at it from day one, moving up the ladder, and moving up the ladder. Now you get to the top of the ladder and you have to look back. How did you get to that ladder? To me, that's the American Dream.
Willie Mays
I have a form of ESP that allows me to consistently pick losing lottery numbers, and generally make poor life choices.
Joey Comeau
Winning the lottery is like slipping your hand into the bra of the most beautiful woman in the world, then getting it stuck and having to saw it off at the wrist.
Ben Croshaw
The more time I spent in jail, the more I realized that the law isn't rational at all. It's a lottery. What color is your skin? How much money do you have? Who's your lawyer? Who's the judge?
Trevor Noah
I've won Satan's lottery.
Christopher Moore (author)
Adventure upon all the tickets in the lottery, and you lose for certain; and the greater the number of your tickets the nearer your approach to this certainty.
Adam Smith
Of all those expensive and uncertain projects, however, which bring bankruptcy upon the greater part of the people who engage in in them, there is none perhaps more perfectly ruinous than the search after new silver and gold mines. It is perhaps the most disadvantageous lottery in the world, or the one in which the gain of those who draw the prizes bears the least proportion to the loss of those who draw the blanks: for though the prizes are few and the blanks are many, the common price of a ticket is the whole fortune of a very rich man.
Adam Smith
In England, and in all Roman Catholic countries, the lottery of the church is in reality much more advantageous than is necessary.
Adam Smith
I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.
Victoria of the United Kingdom
Some of my relatives held on to imagined memories the way homeless people hold onto lottery tickets. Nostalgia was their crack cocaine, if you will, and my childhood was littered with the consequences of their addiction : unserviceable debts, squabbles over inheritances, the odd alcoholic or suicide.
Mohsin Hamid
Although it's easy to forget sometimes, a share is not a lottery ticket... it's part-ownership of a business.
Peter Lynch
I'm happy to be reminded that an ordinary day full of nothing but nothingness can make you feel like you've won the lottery.
Susan Orlean
It's interesting and somewhat dismaying how many people will look up to anyone who wins a multimillion-dollar lottery - but will deride anyone who has worked either hard or smart to attain prosperity and real success.
Ernie J Zelinski
I don't like expeditions where it is a total lottery whether you live or die. You have to keep those sort of good luck cards for rare occasions!
Bear Grylls
You go and you buy a lottery ticket. You've got just as much chance of getting struck by lightning as you do of winning the lottery.
Bill Cosby
People would love to be rich, but they're looking for the easy way. Who wouldn't want to win the lottery? Just to score.
Bryan Cranston
If we had no hope - for a cure, for winning the lottery, for falling in love, for the end of war, for being free of abuse, or for having food, warmth, clothing, and shelter - we would have no reason to go on. What you hope for doesn't matter, but rather the essence of hope itself.
Bernie Siegel
She was staying. A little longer. V smiled to himself. So this was what winning the lottery felt like.
J.R. Ward
Professionally, I feel like I won the lottery and I am the luckiest person in the entire world.
Jonah Hill
We have to be a state where business is welcome and jobs are created. We have to demand value for what is spent and we need to continue to resist a lottery.
Jesse Helms
It's something very few actors really get to experience. When you're a character actor or voiceover guy, it's job to job. You're like a migrant worker, almost. The longevity [of "SpongeBob”] is an unbelievable statistical anomaly. It's like, I didn't buy that many lottery tickets and I won the lottery. It's a totally random, harmonic convergence of people you met and your agent getting you an audition. Actors have so little control over their own lives; it's nice to have something you're not in control of that's actually positive. There was a point when "SpongeBob” was cancelled after the first few seasons and the first movie. We went to a wrap party that I thought was the season wrap party but was the series wrap party. Nobody knew. So I already feel like I dodged a bullet.
