I don't care, I'll take whatever I can get but the more the better. Higher the amount the large the options and potential.

Yeah, you make a good point 'ole buddy! I actually like seeing all the movie stars in the news for silly things they've said or done because it's REAL LIFE and not some script acted out! For once, they're actually BEING THEMSELVES.

They're a little different out there in the land of fruits and nuts, tiggs. They think movie stars are the smartest people in the world. God help us when idiots like Sean Penn and Martin Sheen and Alec Baldwin are actually influencing people.

Methinks he doth protest too much.

Your lies give you away california girly-man.

You were not given a general discharge; you were given a dishonorable discharge.

Too bad it was right after 9/11 ??? Why, were you ready to go all Rambo on the Taliban? Ha Ha Ha. Were you going to throw your crayons at them?

You're a liar amby, but not a very good one. Give it up boy. Go back to your coloring books.

No.

I got into a fight and made a verbal threat to a civilian. Too bad it happened right after 9/11. I got a GD because I did a lot of contribution to my squadron. Things could have been worse since the 'victim' had some connections to DC politicians. (true)

I am neither a traitor or a deserter. Watch your filthy inbred mouth or I will personaly fly down to your place and tear open a new one with a jackhammer.

Good points, RJOh.

I guess there will always be jackpot chasers .

Curently on the Illinois lottery's we site there's a banner ad for PB going to a 10X's powerplay so 5+0 wins $2,000,000. not just $1,000,000, but it says Starting May 1st, for a limited time only .

Maybe MM will do something, in Illinois there is still no Megaplier. Competition is always good for the consimer.

OK, I just put a poll up, Jackpot amounts. Have fun with it.

RJOh — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 17:54:46 GMT

People who think large lottery jackpots are obscene don't play lotteries as Ohio found out about 25 years ago.

When Ohio had one of the most successful lottery in the country and America Game(later PowerBall) was getting started its SuperLotto game would roll at least $4M after every drawing and folks from PA, IN, MI, WV and KY would drive to OH to buy tickets and win jackpots of $30-$75M. Someone convinced Ohio that $20M was enough for any one lottery ticket to win and Ohio limited the amou... [ More ]

Thanks for the offer on the fort petergrfn, lol.

Remember though that ambelamba was thrown out of the service. I don't think we should be thanking him for his service when he might have been thrown out for being a traitor or a deserter. That would be an insult to everyone who has served this country honorably, including myself and every male in my family for generations.

YES!

Actually I have my mind on a set amount and most of that will be given away. I have a few things I want and a few needs that require meeting. I don't want to be negative and list all the things going wrong in my life I have no control over...because of a lack of money...but a big win would be a blessing not only for me but other people as well.

Money is a tool and you can use that tool to build a life or destroy one...it all depends on what you want to build.

Glad to hear you would help vets....They deserve better treatment for their tremendous sacrifices. (BTW. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!)

After spending 1/2 or more at the gov't store...I would spend some on wine,women, and song...but not to excess (I don't want to end up another Jack Whittaker)...It would be pretty bad to have LP'ers talking about how I...

Maybe we already did a poll on this, I'm not sure. But if we were to do one with a question something similar to at what point do you consider a jackpot amount obscene there's no doubt some people would say, Never! I want it all .

Ambelamba,

I kinda of agree with you. If we are talking about right now, then yes, as small win will do quite well for me. I REALLY need to put a new roof on this house and recarpet it as well. That will NOT take ten million dollars. The reason I would love to win the BIG one, five or ten million dollars is because of the state of the economy, I really want to make sure that I'll be okay when I can no longer work. Of course I would buy a new house, but my tastes are relatively simple.... [ More ]

I just want the children of fallen comrades to adjust to the society and get adequate education and entertainment for their future. Nothing more, nothing less.

Anyway, I said I will be keeping only half of my prize for myself. Even after sharing with my relatives (only the ones who live in the stateside.) there will be some percentages left for charity works. But the truth is that in most of the charity works less than 25% of the money is actually going to the intended beneficiaries. Scammer... [ More ]

I'm glad to hear you're altruistic amby because I'll be needing some help after you win. I still have a lot of work to do here in the compound. I'd like to construct some auxiliary fortified bunkers with connecting underground tunnels and escape routes. As you can well imagine it's not going to be cheap.

It depends, but to most people out there some five-figure amount of money can make a huge difference. To me, I just need to pay off my school loan and car payment. Then a few thousand dollars to pay for some studio classes offered in Pasadena area. Then I can prepare for my career portfolio and apply for a job. Well, at this point I don't know what to do and I ran out of creativity so I need someone to tell me what do draw and paint. Sad but true.
