I follow the same principle and I buy tickets constantly. I have always known the outcome and I have not been proven wrong. OUTCOME= I lose my investments.

I do have to say the renewal process is very easy. I liked the ability to exclude myself from the public list, although I question how comprehensive the exclusion may be.

I don't mind about my refund but it was nice to go on line and renew my PTIN without paying anything.

I suspect it will happen eventually, but with TCJA looming, it's probably a low priority. Also the administration of the PTIN was subcontracted out to a third party, so the refunds will be dependent on how long the subcontracting and funding of the refund process takes ? Case in point: My largest client is an ALE under ACA definitions so they are subject to the penalties for not providing health insurance. They did not receive their proposed penalties for 2015 until June 2018. They have yet to receive any correspondence regarding 2016 penalties.

I've always followed the theory that my odds of wining the lottery are roughly the same whether I buy a ticket or not.

That's why I love living in the "boonies". I have a yearly paper bonfire. Tried my shredder but too many staples. The fire is beautiful also especially when the weather cools down.
