Given my inexperience at managing anything greater than about 38,000 a year, however... these big jackpots make me wonder about the annuity.

Four4me:The way it works is as follows:The Hoosier Lottery has no published liability limits. Rather than ratify such limits as other state lotteries have, the Hoosier Lottery prefers instead to actively track player selections on a central computer. Now, with their RNG machine connected to their central computer, a piece of code can be written to scan its database, find the number with the least amount of play, and then instruct the RNG to render that combination.

Not sure what type of site editing would be necessary to make blocked posters posts disappear from view, but am sure that Dragon and I aren't the only two who would love to have that function available. For those interested in forum subject only it would be a good method to set sermons aside and be able to get down to the meat of the subject.
