For the same reason I would not sit on a winning ticket and let the world go around another hundred revolutions. Get the money, have the money. Get an advance of a few million, and bail for pleasure-dome. I inter-mix the term loan and advance. It matters not to me. Get the money, have the money. The sooner it is MINE, the sooner I can start the care-free life. Money is POWER. Money in your name is your power. Money not in your name is not your power. Every one in the services business

pts vs physical playingReply
For example I live in Maryland I drive to Pennsylvania I but a ticket there and I win I can easily prove I bought the ticket there by showing proof that I visited there via a gas receipt or store receipt. However if I had a relative mail me a tickets from California and I won I will need some kind of story to collaborate my being there to have purchased a ticket. Of course I would concoct some lie as to how I came to be possession of the ticket. And before hand get the relative to keep some stor

can't sleep when the jackpots get huge?Reply
There is no doubt in my mind that Bill Gates, Ophra, and most of the others in the Fortune 500 are HAPPY people; and that tons of money is the reason; either as primary or underlying. I realize that they are HAPPY everytime they get on their private jet to see Paris, China, or whatever, or throw a two-million dollar birthday party for theirself. I see it whenever I realize they have the best medica and dentall care money can buy, which prevents most of the suffering you and I are doomed to.

My support for MUSL Hot Lotto has fadedReply
The whole radioactive decay thing is ridiculous. It only addresses one problem out of many. There is no way anyone has ever put forward that can address the problem of zero visibility of the drawing process. After all, what happens to the numbers after the radioactive decay has produced them? Who is to say that a hacker doesn't slip a program in there to ignore the radioactive numbers, and substitute their own?? It may be easier to tamper with a ball machine, but it's much easier

Uncle Sam Wins Your LotteryNews Story
