My Mom was telling me a story about her co-worker 

Her Co-worker played the lotto for 1 yr using the same numbers.
played the lotto every tuesday and friday never missed a day.

After 1 yr and 1 month passed the lotto reached 120m+.
She missed a week with (tues) (fri) the drawings here in cali.

and the numbers came out that week she didn't play.

My Mom's coworker became very depressed and became anorexcic.she's been in the hospital ever since...

scary imo

I think it would be like Brewster's Millions...

After I purchase a zombie proof house with an underground bunker, a cache of weapons & a small group of luxury cars - I would probably hate to spend money.

Yes, the guy shopping at Walmart with a Ferrari in the parking lot will be me.

Your best bet is to buy a ticket in California.
Prizes over $599 are subject to taxes and other offsets required by law. However, there are no California state/local taxes

$255,750,000... That's $1,065,625 every month for the next 20 years.

I think I would go insane.

If that is a true story, I would find the tallest building and jump off of it if I were her.

I heard the same story about a guy in England. Except at the end he killed himself. I'm sure it's not a folk story though. I'm sure it's 100% completely true. You're mom would never lie to you.

First things first, if I win I am going to make hollywoodundeads life miserable. 

I'm buying houses all around his family's home(because I know that loser still lives at home with mom and dad) and it's going to be a never ending block party til they lose their minds. 

I'm going to move the Wild Whites of West Virginia up there as well and give them some motivation to make hollywoodundeads family's life as miserable as possible. 

Then when I get tired of that I am going to donate as much money to Ron Paul and Obama as possible. Then I am going to post those receipts in the Political Forum here on Covers just so I can watch the forum lose their minds. 

Then I am going to repeat the same steps for esplanade as I did for hollywoodundead. After I am done with that I am going to retire from Covers.com for good. 

After that it will be traveling abroad and visiting every stadium in the world that I can. Party in as many countries as possible. 

Finally I would set up a couple of charities like Doctors Without Borders, Special Olympics, Make A Wish, etc with a monthly stipend from the interest I earn on the principle balance.

I think it is best to just let the machine pick them. Especially if you play all the time. Because, you could end up like the stories posted above and miss one week and see that the numbers you would have picked hit, that is if you pick the same numbers everytime.
