Should one play if they have others feeding themReply
Four4me - you wrote: justxploring i can honestly say when i worked as a manager i put out more woman/woman fires than men/men fires. It seems the men usually work it out among themselves while the women tended to make it a company wide event facilitating some kind of disciplinary actions That is precisely what I am talking about. I chose to stay outside of the drama that was integral to the atmosphere in that place. There were two of the 8 women that were specifically ringleaders of it.

Wanting Lots of StuffReply
Jxp - my answer to your question is that I would not for the sake of simply owning those things want a large home, fancy car or expensive jewelry for myself. I can honestly say I don't dream or daydream about Escalades or Jags or mansions (although I might admire from a distance). I would require the basics to carry out what I really wish for.... I will take time to savor the gift and never forget how lucky I am, a gift in and of itself... the things money can buy, the b

Mega smiles for New York lottery winnerNews Story
William James Albertson held his 5-month-old baby as he checked the numbers on his Mega Millions lottery ticket with those on the computer screen Sunday morning. The first two matched. So did the second pair. Then, as Albertson sat at the computer in his Mahopac home, the unthinkable happened. I kept looking at it and they all matched, so that's when I got a little shaky, the 35-year-old insurance manager recalled. The shakes were gone yesterday, when Albertson was revealed as the

Hoosier LotteryReply
Jim and Jeff, I haven't got a reply to my email yet, but I'm tired of waiting on it. I'm going to believe that the cash value is approximately 40-50% of the lump sum as stated on the FAQ page. If the current cash value is 60%, then I think it's a result of higher than normal ticket sales. Jeff keeps saying the payouts are low, but he doesn't know how low or high the sales were either, something you just can't do. Also, has anyone considered that the reason why there isn't a roll over after the f

Mega Winners In LottoReply
Walk a mile in my shoes justxploring. How do you know I haven't, Lacie? For all you know I am very ill and living on disability. I just said I disagreed with you because of FACTS. The average home in FL was selling for more than $350,000 over the past several years (much more in areas like Naples, Sarasota and Miami) and the population soared. These were not poor people who were buying second homes for that price. You must have heard of The Villages. It's one of the largest retirement c

Lottery winners in a whole new ballgame
Gilberto Bueno played the lottery almost every day for 17 years, dreaming of a fortune that would bring an end to his nights stocking shelves in a Key Food supermarket in Queens. Over the years, he won a couple of times, taking in a few thousand dollars. But last Saturday morning, as he checked his numbers on television from his home in Astoria, he realized his days in the supermarket had come to an end. I saw the first five numbers, he said in Spanish as New York

Grandma's lottery ticket detour pays offNews Story
Seventy-three-year-old grandmother Margie Coy had plans to visit her grandson Terry Coy II in Greensburg, Ind., last weekend when her boyfriend decided to take a detour into Kentucky. I asked him where we were going and he said he wanted to buy some Win For Life tickets in Kentucky, said Coy, who lives in the little town of Windfall near Kokomo in northern Indiana. I pretty much go along with anything he wants to do. They motored over the I-275 bridge near Lawrenceburg and followed the

Lottery winner from Oregon more than makes up for Enron lossNews Story
One of the Portland General Electric workers whose retirement hopes were dashed by the collapse of Enron has replenished his assets by about $59 million. Dan Gannon, 60, won a $182 million Powerball jackpot over the weekend and claimed it Monday. He took his prize in a lump sum, rather than over 30 years. That amounted to $88 million. Federal and state taxes took $29 million, so his payout was $59 million. When the stock of utility owner Enron collapsed in 2001, Gannon said, his

Long odds don't bother 'Mega' fansNews Story
Charles Millard wasn't under any illusion. My chance is a zillion to one, the 60-year-old Johnson City man said on Monday as he bought a ticket for tonight's historic $355 million Mega Millions drawing. Still, across the Greater Binghamton region, players such as Millard lined up Monday at convenience stores and newsstands for a chance to win the largest pot in New York Lottery history, even though they acknowledged their odds were as long as Binghamton being named the sunshine capital o

Georgia woman nearly forgot about $5M winning lottery ticketNews Story
Connie Habeck plays the lottery when the jackpot is at its biggest. When the money goes up, I buy like everybody else, said Habeck of Gray. She said she has always played knowing she would split any winnings with her 35-year-old son Robert, who lives in Athens. What makes the 60-year-old woman different is the $5 million winning scratch-off ticket she nearly forgot in the bottom of her purse. Georgia Lottery officials awarded Habeck a large cardboard check Tuesday afternoon at Neal's
