Ha, yea it's my new favorite thing and roads here are actually decent to ride on unlike back before I moved, not to mention the bike paths. Plus with the nice weather and scenery it'd be a shame not to get out and ride around. If I ever hit the jackpot it's going to be difficult to leave since it's so nice riding around and I've gotten so used to doing at least 10-15 miles a day around the beach or marina.

Yeah, well if all they were all in jail where they belong you wouldn't have that problem and all those broken windows in downtown Seattle.

this is what i believe. I believe that a more positive outlook, even in the worst scenario of life helps the body to be more healthy. I know it's not always easy to do, but that is my belief, but I agree, believing that you will win the jp because of some mumbo jumbo positive thinking bs, then no. the balls have no clue you even exist and no way you will change how they move in the tumbler.

but i do believe that stress will open doors to an unhealthy body opeing doors to all kinds of ailments... [ More ]

of course we have a chance

my one dollar quick pick purchase just as good as your one dollar purchase in powerball or mega millions

the fact is millions upon millions of us play but there s really only one jackpot winner the majority of the time.

however you have just as much chance of winning as I do if we spend the same amount say using quick picks

Now as for these people who advocate positive thinking, wishful thinking, magic thinking to somehow increase your odds win... [ More ]

What I am trying to figure out is, how is this type of food related to the question A Poor Man Does Not have a Chance?

well, quality curry is very expensive, so if you use curry for breakfast lunch and dinner, you won't have enough money to buy enought tickets to win.

However, I feel whomever have control of those lottery machines , it can be rigged to where the money goes! These are humans who control the machines. Some poor people in NY win big and many do not. I question the lottery games all the time!

I hope that I have a chance at winning the lottery even though I make about $20,000 a year I do not consider myself poor or rich but would like to know what it is like to have a jackpot under my belt.-weshar75

Since I usually buy my tickets when I'm on my bike rides I've gotten tickets in Venice, Santa Monica, Pacific Palisades, Marina Del Rey, Culver City and once from Ranchos Palos Verdes. The most I've won is probably from Venice when I'm going to small time markets, not the fancy new built places in the richer cities.

From what I understand or have been told, people named Singh are Sikhs. I could be wrong though, I've never checked into it. I only know for sure that Sikhs are an offshoot of Hinduism.

Believe it or not, there are quite a few people who live in Arab lands and are Christians. Even some Indians (dot kind, but without the dot if they are christians).

Good catch mark, I missed that one.

Yeah, I don't think Sikhs are into Christmas too much.

But then you never know, people can change.

We're really happy, Singh said. Christmas is a little early.

What are the odds that Ranjit Singh really believes in Christmas

The odds of winning a MM Jackpot in Compton or any other poor impoverished neighborhood are probably 100 TRILLION to 1...TRUE FACT!!!

While in Newport Beach, CA i've actually had a few good wins playing there no Jackpot but extremely close...

Just my 2cents.

What amount of money makes a person rich and another poor? I'm not rich and I'm not poor. So are my chances 50 50? I don't think the numbers favor one group or another.

Maybe the guy who 'actually' bought the ticket, and then hired someone to claim the money, was poor

Turns out I was wrong.

Oh well. If they were from a money management firm, maybe that's why they knew how to control themselves, and just spent a dollar.

I meant to quote Rdgrnr here....

Think he was saying it sort of ironically, pointing at the fact that he played one ticket. Like, yeah, I thought the poor never win? At least that's what I think he meant, but that seems kinda strange because you don't know that the guy was poor just because he bought one ticket. Rarely do I buy more than one ticket for the same game because I start at 1 ticket PP when it gets to (sometimes when it's approaching) 100 million cash. When it grows well beyon... [ More ]

I am a firm believer in the law of attraction and this would make sense why they won. They didn't need the money and already put out in the universe that they felt wealthy....so what did they attract? MORE WEALTH.

If you go through life with the belief you're poor, the universe will turn right around and make that come true for you

The key words there were off a $1 ticket. They had just as much a chance, if not a little worse, seeing as how many play $1 per draw, as the rest of us who play. Or rather, we had just as much a chance at winning as they did, poor or not.

Quite a bit of poor folk win it's just that the rich are most notable/more memorable since they're the ones most would feel envious towards. I mean look at Whittaker, he had a net worth of over $17 million when he won and look how many, albeit cold hear... [ More ]

Buy 1 QUICK PICK TICKET. You just have to be in the right place at the right time in order to win big like they did.

GOOD LUCK TO THE WINNERS with your new wealth.CONGRATULATIONS

Some people, even in this economy live epicurean lifestyles with huge mortgages, big car notes, finest day care for their babies, private school for their children, parties, the best of the best food and drink, clothes, etc., but they are in tremendous debt.

If they fall, they will fall from a long ways up and hit the ground hard. A poor man will hit the ground from the distance of a porch.

For all I know they need the money just as bad as I do. Congratulations to them.

I don't think I understand your question.

Why doesn't a poor man have a chance?

If he bought a ticket he has the same chance as anybody else who bought a ticket..

ROCKY HILL, Conn. (AP) Three asset managers from Connecticut's affluent New York suburbs claimed a $254 million Powerball jackpot on Monday off a $1 ticket.

Greg Skidmore, Brandon Lacoff and Tim Davidson came forward as trustees for The Putnam Avenue Family Trust, which they formed after Davidson bought the winning ticket at a Stamford gas station. At least two of them live in Greenwich, one of America's wealthiest towns.

They will take the after-tax lump sum of nearly $104 million in cash... [ More ]
