Congrats to the 20! Hope they make their dreams come true. Moving on the PB is now in the 100 mil, and I want to wish everyone good luck tonite who are playing. Not going in tonite for me, however I have a feeling 1-42-46-49-53+4 will be the winning numbers... who knows. Again; Good luck everyone.

Hey!

Tell McDoofus, (The Queen of Hooksett, New Hampshire), that I said hello and that I think it's down right neighborly of him to coach you. And kindly ask him if his roommate would approve of him hitting on you without his knowledge. Not that it's any of my business, mind you, if you two want to get together and paint each other's toenails or something. And not that there's anything wrong with that either, for goodness sake!

Another LP member PM'd me that you must work off a script. Sounds about right. The 'outhouse' routine has been used lots of times against various members, I see. The 'Pappy', 'Papaw' references...right off the cheat sheet you must keep in a handy-dandy drawer You 'offer' to 'help' usually comes along at some point too, toward's the end. A trip to a shrink's office would probably reveal this is where and how you want to finish the discussion. Is that what he's told you, already?

No fair!

You have an unfair advantage when it comes to knowledge about dancing, Bonehead, cuz your Pappy was a dancer in Baton Rouge. That wasn't right.

I have good news though!

I let both of them, your Pap and Papaw, come out of the outhouse pit for a break today and although they're both completely covered in butt-mud they seem to be in relatively good spirits. They have, however, requested that the family not eat at Bob's Burrito Bombs for a while.

Arrowhead has better things to do than to chase you around here 24/7. Stop acting like you've won whenever anyone decides to step away from the computer to attend to other priorities.

The point Arrowhead has been wasting far too many words trying to get across is this: Given your persona, it is quite ironic that the picture you have chosen to represent yourself is not of a backwoods, moonshine-swillin' good ol' boy but that of a gay, liberal, Yankee poet.

LOL, that Kim Jong Un is a trip. They told the people that the first time he played golf, he shot something like 11 holes in one and a bunch of other cool stuff.

An Iowa decision allowing for lottery winners to retain their anonymity may not have an immediate effect on any other state lottery, but it could be used in future court cases as precedent. It would be a piecemeal effort lasting many years -- basically, any time a winner is adamant enough about remaining anonymous that they're willing to sue their state -- but it could happen. Emphasis on could ; standard IANAL disclaimer applies.

Until more than a few lottery winners get tracked down and killed or injured by a nut (and a direct tie in to their name and address being public info), there is not going to

NC requires the winner's name and city state be published. The lottery also asks for a picture. The exception is if you have a protective order in place. I'm having my attorney use the system, to my advantage, to get a protection order and the lottery can pay me for a picture to market their game when I win...

Lawyers have to get theirs..

I wonder why their attorney didn't push forward with filing an injunction

Because the shipping 20 would have to go to court and prove why the injunction should be permanent and by doing so their names would be reveled.

Too bad; this could have been a trend setting case that prevented states from exposing winners to all the creeps, weirdos scum that a lottery win attracts.

Iowa has an open public records law and and though highly unlikely, even if the Iowa Supreme Court found that law... [ More ]

I agree with you Poly! Somebody has to start the businesses in order for the rest of us to have jobs

Because I actually understand economics, and I know that economic growth starts at the top!

Petty jealousy of the wealthy is childish!

Actual Economic History proves that slashing taxes gives us enormous economic growth and prosperity. That is how the Wilson Depression was ended by Secretary Mellon

Interesting. I wonder why their attorney didn't push forward with filing an injunction; maybe he told them they couldn't win they just said eff it! ? Too bad; this could have been a trend setting case that prevented states from exposing winners to all the creeps, weirdos scum that a lottery win attracts. There's got to be some lawyer somewhere who could argue about the safety of the winners being more important than the state forcing them to become public figures...

You are not rich, in fact you are the exact opposite, so why do you care so much

Yeah,I wonder how they'll feel about soaking the rich after they win a jackpot and the feds come in confiscate 75% of their winnings.

Only two of them bought any real time because 18 of them paraded into Lottery Headquarters to get their picture taken holding the check. If the Shipping 20 from the Quaker Oats plant wasn't enough info, having their picture taken confirmed their identities. But it was enough time to change their phone numbers to private and limited the number of panhandlers.

They bought time. The news report for many of them might really be so-and-so formerly from (pick the town).

I didn't see their home addresses, I guess those requesting a share of their money can use the local phone book or just google their names if they don't know them personally.

Iowa Lottery releases names of 'Shipping 20' Powerball winners

Lawyers for the trust told Lottery officials June 19 that the members of The Shipping 20 wanted their names to remain confidentia... [ More ]
