Lottery Players Are Spending $100 Per Day Playing The Lottery $365,000 In 10 Years.Reply
WE CAN'T PREDICT RANDOM. I reminded a lottery player about Powerball jackpot winner Gloria C. Mackenzie.She won with a $2 POWERBALL QUICK PICK TICKET. Florida May 18, 2013 Cash $590,500,000.00 annuity. $370,896,780.54 cash. I was buying a powerball ticket today, and there was a guy in his 50s infront of me buying tickets. He looked at me and told me to go ahead of him, as he stepped aside to let me buy my tickets. I asked him, are you sure that you want me to go fir

Twelve things not to do if you win the lotteryReply
Automatically decide to take the up-front cash. Supposedly some 70% of lottery winners end up broke again, many within a couple or few years. If you get $172 million up front, it may sound better than having to receive a payout of $300 million slowly over the course of a lifetime. After all, it is instant empire-making money. Go see a tax pro and a legitimate investment advisor at a top money management firm, a theme you will see here throughout, before you automatically make this de

Can MM & PB Start Being Honest? Must this farce continue?Reply
Wow. Bitter much? Are you capable of having a discussion without the high degree of passive aggressiveness or do you actually find it works for you? I asked a question, if you don't like the question, move along to the dozens of other discussion threads out there. I'm sure the rest of us can continue the discussion and even hold different opinions without the need to lower the talks to a slinging match. Why people feel the need to constantly turn a fun topic into bitter diatribes is beyon

Can MM & PB Start Being Honest? Must this farce continue?Reply
Horrible example. Next time, instead of annuity, they should just say 105,175,000,000 Jackpot! And in fine prints say In vietnamese dongs. Worth about 5,000,000 USD. The wager is in US Dollars, so the prize payment would be in USD. We don't pay with dongs here in America. Actually this example is EXACTLY the same as what powerball/MM is doing. The currencies are different, because of the time value of money. Incorrect. The value of the dong and dollar is different because of the cur

6/49 record jackpot winner bought 2 of the same tickets
I don't know if this will be in the news section sometime soon, seeing as it's a canadian lottery, but I thought it's pretty interesting. I was at a skytrain station, got one of those free newspapers (metro) and on the front page was this news: Of the four winners of the record 6/49 lottery jackpot last month (~64 million, previous record was 52 million or something), two were from Surrey BC, one from Vancouver and one in Alberta or something. Turns, out, that the two Surrey tick

If you can choose to give up your winnings in exchange for being never hungry or homeless...
Okay so here's an interesting thought that came to my mind and wanted to see what the LP community thought. Option 1 - You had to give up all your winnings. And you give them up to great charities, (NOT the government since that would just be a 100% tax) so to places like Doctors Without Borders, Red Cross, NPR, PBS, cancer research, etc. And in exchange you will have all your basic needs taken care of like food, shelter, clothing, transportation to job, etc. So basically you will never
