Another knee jerk violent immature hateful reaction which has nothing to do with either of our's present situation, all hoping to save a very fragile and insecure inner ego. Typical of a Narcissistic Personality Disorder sufferer still in denial.

Looks like we have a minor delay until next Thursday. These little
setbacks happen but should be easily overcome with a $2 investment. I
had intended to sleep late and go to lottery HQ later, but I'll be
getting up at my regular time. .

I played Powerball yesterday for the first time ever. I thought about
what I'd do with the money and I'd send my niece and nephew to college
when they graduate HS because right now they don't seem to have much
chance. I think I'd also donate a ton of it to animal rescue groups. I'd
also make sure my mom is taken care of with full time help like a
housekeeper and someone who can help her with things she struggles with
these days. And finally, I'd retire. Travel. Take my mom on trips that
she's been missing out on and wants to see before it is too late.

I think I'll buy a few more chances this week since no one won.

I'd make substantial trusts for the local food bank and the
not-for-profit local hospital specifically for those who fall between
the cracks and cannot pay, and some sort of organization to meet the
many needs of the homeless and the animal shelter. Then I'd set
something up for our children and grandchildren. That would probably
keep an estate planner and an attorney happy for years to come.
For us, a couple of new pickup trucks, some landscaping and definitely
a housekeeper because I really do not like cleaning house.

You criminally STALK and ABUSE women, you sick little dwarfy man!

Here's what you did when you went all over the Usenet impersonating the
well-liked regular named "sf" and posting all her personal data on the
net against her will, including her:

* home address
* age
* cell phone number
* husband's name

etc.

YOU did that, you evil *******!

And then you had the hubris to actually GLOAT about in public saying:

She should call the cops. I've already publicly admitted it is me so
a conviction should be a piece of cake and then forging would stop.
So what's stopping her? I think she suffers from Bovism - she just
loves the attention and drama and screw the rest of the group.

And before that you literally stalked poor Omelet, a local Auustin

In your worst moment ever you actually begged her to KILL you:

I won $4 Saturday night. Woo-Hoo! First time I've ever won anything in
the lottery (I've bought maybe 6 or 7 ticket my whole life) Now I gotta
figure out how to cash it in.

I think you redeem small winnings at any store that sells lottery
tickets. So I'll use half of it to by a ticket for the $1.3MMM jackpot.

Yep, that's what they hope you will do! Buy more lottery tickets!!

Only way to win that game is refusing to play!

Well, I can't do anything for my parents, they are long gone. I
already did for my grands, I already put their names along with mine
on the deed to a million dollar piece of real estate with right of
survivorship, I assume they will outlive me. One says she wants to be
a Veterinarian, I'd be honored to pay for her education... but right
now she's raising chickens, things can change.
http://i66.tinypic.com/vex7xw.jpg
I don't believe I'll win but I'll still buy a couple of tickets... if
I do win the joke will be on me, my life wouldn't change one iota...
I'd still dress exactly the same in old farmer clothes suitable for
walking muddy fields, I'd still eat exactly the same cooking for
myself... I might buy a new vehicle, if I can find one better than my
1990 Landcruiser that has never failed me... maybe I'd buy my old
trusty Landcruiser a new heated garage for its old age. Okay, my
house needs new oversize gutters and downspouts which I've been
planning on for this spring... is that in the Billion $ range? For
lunch today I had a salami sandwhich, even with a Billion $ I'd still
have the same lunch tomorrow. Tonight's dinner is rice and black
beans with left over pork chops and frozen spinach, a Billion $
wouldn't make me change my menu. Buying Lottery tickets for me is
sort of a joke but I intend to buy two Quick Picks, just so if I win I
can rub it in all your faces and not change my life one iota.

even one.)

But if it makes you happy, go ahead and buy more. My husband does.

We don't buy tickets very often; just often enough to give our

I always figure that your chances are 50-50. You either win or you don't.

I used to get lottery tickets for free at a local gas station with every
purchase of 40 litres of gasoline. That was hard to do with my Civic,
but they would run a tally for me, so it might take two or three weeks
to get my ticket. I only won once, and it was only $5.


People are funny about gambling, and I have had enough examples of it to
keep me away from it. Years ago when the Provincial lottery game out,
tickets sold for $5 and that was quite a bit 40 years ago. I was went
for coffee with some co-workers and one of them bought one of those $5.
He won two tickets. With those two he won two more, and it went on like
that. He ended up with about 1 dozen tickets that he won on that initial
$5 ticket, and he was thrilled. A few weeks late they drew the lucky
numbers. He did not win any cash, but he was still happy that he won
all those pieces of paper.


I still chuckle about my niece whose co-workers did not let her in on
their office pool, so she went out and bought a scratch ticket on her
own and won $1 million.

I tend to think of them as a stupidity tax. It is a government
fundraiser for people who expect to win big. Most are just paying the
government for nothing. However, I have to revisit that. I know two
people who have won $1 million, a neighbour won $2.1 million, and I know
a guy from the Y whose father won IIRC $4 million.

I have to confess that I caved a couple weeks ago and bought one for a
pot that was up to $60 million. I guess I was tempting the fate of how
my life could be forced to change if I came into big money.

Oh gee, wouldn't it be horrible to win only $868 million and get to keep
only a half billion. Forget about that 10 car garage with an elevator
to hold a dozen Feraris.

Sorry, the chances are less than 1 in 292,000,000. "Wired" gave the
analogy that it's a little better than the odds of having your name randomly
drawn from a hat that contains the names of everybody in the United States.

50-50 would be a drawing with two balls, where you only have to match
one of them. Powerball is considerably more complicated, with
correspondingly lower odds of winning. Even roulette has better odds
than Powerball.

Nobody that buys a ticket cares about all the math and statistics, if you
play you have a chance at a dream, if you don't...

Yep, it is a cheap fantasy.

When I was in the 5th grade I was at my friend Jimmy's house and we were
playing cards. His father came home from work and said he would teach
us to play better. He showed us the hands but he also inter weaved the
odds and how the house always wins and you don't. It was a great lesson
that stuck with me. I may spend $20 for the entertainment value, but I
never had the urge to play to think I'd win big.

I can afford to spend $2 for the fun of it. You'll never see me buying
the $10 rub-offs though.

about 55 years ago, the UK government introduced "Premium Bonds" that

At least one somebody is going to be damned happy they took a
chance despite the odds. We're not talking hundreds of dollars
a ticket, why not have a little fun with it.

Perhaps. However, like many areas of the world the Middle East was fairly stable until the USA decided to fix its problems.

Actually, I do. :-)

I buy a ticket when the jackpot exceeds the price of the ticket times
the odds. (it's well above that now) In doing so I'm probably fooling
myself by not calculating the actual cash jackpot amount as a lump sum
after taxes.

I know I'm ignoring the chance of having multiple winners, but I'm also
ignoring the small prizes, and those kinda cancel each other out.

Gambling is an interesting phenomenon. Casinos make a lot of money
because there are a lot of people who a willing to go out and drop $20,
$50, $100 or $500 and consider it to be entertainment, with the bonus of
the possibility of winning.

When was the Middle East Stable? Troubles started there long before the

Same here, though I did spend 20.00 for two scratch off tickets for a
stocking stuffer for dh at Christmas, and he won 40.00 which would probably
not happen again. I don't play Power Ball as a rule, but will tomorrow,
10.00 worth, that's it.

Nobody? Really nobody? Zero people in the entire pool of Powerball
bettors? That's a sweeping generalization.

I care about the math and statistics, and I occasionally buy a ticket.
Your thesis is disproved, without malice.

I'm still hoping I win. Retire on Thursday? Oh, heck yes!

It was relatively stable after about 1950. Conflicts were localized.

You would fail, because 1. Usenet is not for sale and 2. people like the WWW a lot better, generally speaking.
