British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
Back in the day I posted on religious and political message boards, but found LP and really enjoy the lottery related discussions. I'd rather be playing golf but it's over 90 again today. They hate the fact Obama was elected, re-elected President, and his approval rating is over 50% so now it's Clinton turn to hear their wrath. It doesn't matter if their candidate was a Canadian, an Australian, or even the Prince of Monaco. And even thought it's obvious they are preaching to the choir, they w

Why you might go bankrupt if your next-door neighbor wins the lotteryReply
I thought I was the only one who saw it. LOL. This study made me think of that movie too. For those who didn't see it, a corporation puts actors into upper middle-class neighbourhoods, posing as perfect families. They give the appearance of the family everyone else wants to be. Pretty soon the other wives are buying the same types of furniture, packaged foods and hair products Mrs Jones has, the men are buying the same golf clubs and big screen tv Mr Jones has, ditto with the teens on cl

POWERBALL CREATES WORLD'S FIRST BILLION-DOLLAR JACKPOTReply
Those are minority circumstances tough and MUCH lower annuities. One would have to be REALLY stupid to burn through that much money. For me I would be set for life after the first check, the rest would be all gravy. I have been self-employed for 25 years and used to work a bank so my only team will be ME as there is an M and E in team. This annuity is astronomical and one payment alone is higher than the MM starting jackpot. You will getting WAY more than anyone else ever did with this annuity a

Would you quit your job if you won the lottery?Reply
I would give two weeks notice and it would be the happiest two weeks of my life. I don't think I'd be able to hide my joy. Not because I don't like my job because I do (I teach tennis) but to leave and have the money to do whatever I want (play golf and travel) would be an overwhelmingly joyful feeling. I'd look something like this for those two weeks:

Orlando man claims $46 million Florida Lotto jackpotReply
I just visited South Florida, and I know I was surrounded by many millionaires and multi-millionaires. How else could the same people play golf several times per week while driving nice luxury cars? But did that tempt me to go bother them? Not in the least. There is a simple remedy for publicity of this nature...just travel frequently. Only someone who stays put in one place so that all the vultures can circle and land makes this a possiblity. But I have never seen vultures keep up nor stay inte

Florida city still wondering: Who won the $590M lottery jackpot?Reply
Ridge, you are too funny!! Where did you get the water from? Don't you have to buy it in Zephyrhills? Or is it a national brand? I want to go to St. Augustine because they have the World Golf Hall of Fame there.

The Lottery Office is closed until Monday but speculation in Lapeer rages onReply
Oh, thank you Ridge! I was reading one of your post earlier and you said that you play $4.00 PB and you multidraw it. SO DO I!!! That way I stay on budget and I don't have to stand in line every week for tickets. See you later, I'm off to play some golf!

$500 MILLION: Mega Millions sets all-time lottery jackpot recordReply
Wow, I really don't think anyone can say with absolute certainty. Perhaps use some of the old strategies to improve your odds. Keep your mouth shut! Probably not a good idea to tell anyone in the circle of family and friends, use extreme discression before telling the spouse. Claim by Revocable Living Trust if possible. The Trustee's name will be printed (Your Trust Attorney) but if they are good at what they do, they should be a nice brick wall for your identity. Cut them a fat Christmas

$356 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot nears recordReply
That is the wrong mindset to have my friend. Even though I have won NO money during this run up, I continue to win with each drawing with my dreams of a financially FREE future! Although I am only amped up about this due to all the negativity surrounding the whole 1%/99% mumbo jumbo talk perpetuated by this administration, I still believe that the amount of the jackpot doesn't affect how I feel when the numbers are drawn. Only when I see I am holding or possessing the winning combination will I
