I know that this is technically not a lottery question, it's about PCH Sweepstakes bankruptcy .Reply
Thank you for that indepth detailed link to the PCH Annuity Sweepstakes Bankruptcy. :) I was mistaken when I said he was supposed to get millions until his death, turns out he was getting $260,000 a year before taxes. That's still a very nice chunk of change to live off. There are people who work for 10 years and accumulate around $260,000 minus taxes and he was getting that every year for 10 years and not having to work. He shouldn't have blown his money frivolously.

Cloudflare causing disruptions this morningReply
Thanks for the info! I saw the cloudfare 500 internal server error splash screen of death earlier this morning. It took out sites globally. The trade off of hundreds of replicated nodes for the rare service provider blackout still seems like a better way than the single point of failure physical server hosting.

You Can't Lose If You Don't PlayReply
You haven't published anything. A Megamillions blue screen of death and a Georgia lottery game they discontinued due to low sales have nothing to do with you, and they aren't evidence of any kind of advanced math.

Is the Annuity payout safe?Reply
I also was thinking about the recent Publisher's Clearinghouse annuity fiasco when they went bankrupt and left annuity winners out in the cold and one annuity winner in particular was left financially ruined as he quit his job roughly 10 years ago when he won the PCH Annuity for Life as he was supposed to be getting millions of dollars from PCH until his death and then the payments suddenly stopped permanently when the PCH filed for bankruptcy. He said that he was having a hard time finding a jo

So, Publisher's Clearinghouse had a Sweepstakes where if you win you were supposed to win millions of dollars for life through an annuity program. They even had an annuity program where when you die someone you chose as your heir, gets millions of dollars until they die. Recently and suddenly, PCH went bankrupt, leaving winners suddenly in financial ruin. One winner won the annuity Sweepstakes roughly 10 years ago and quit his job since he was promised millions of dollars until his death. He was

Balancing Odds and Cost 😁Reply
If I ever win something that big, most of it would be used for or left to grassroots causes. Spread out over things like a food pantry, a cat rescue, after school activities for underprivileged kids, senior care, dog shelter, and so on. All of those community needs that don't get funding because it doesn't make money for the already wealthy. Friends or family would get something, just not like 100 mil. No one needs that kind of money, including myself. What I see in big jackpots isn't a big

Love Doesn't Cost AnythingReply
Woe to them who love war, death, and destruction! They distort the meaning of love. War is more in line with hate, which is associated with destruction, where positive vibes and good fortune are founded in love.

I'm done playing the lotteryReply
I stooped to Mr. Black's level in my above post. That's not good. But in reality I can and do empathize with his plight. I avoid lottery vending machines like the bubonic plague. (Or Covid for that matter. Never saw anybody that had The Black Death, but this aint the 14th century either) IMHO, lottery machines are not very propitious. (Look that up in your Funk and Wagnalls. Or you could just Google the word propitious) G5

Lottery is not random it's predeterminedReply
The employees in the PA scandal and Eddie Tipton were rigging the lottery to benefit themselves and their friends. Not sure if the OP believes this, but I've seen this stated before, that state lotteries rig their games to benefit the lottery itself . The difference is that the lottery employees who rig the games for themselves don't care if other people win. They didn't go through all the tickets played and then pick numbers that no one else picked. They picked winning numbers they alre
