Yeah and then, the lottery winner can have a cameo appearance on an episode of "Lost" not to mention be one of the contestants on "The Apprentice" or maybe get a huge shoe contract from "nike" !!!!! Give me a break!!!

Give me a break!!! If you buy the concept of a soda machine playing football, or P-Diddly driving a Pepsi Truck, you'll buy into anything. I won't even go the Brittney or Paris Hilton route. It is what America is all about. Being stupid, and making money at it.

Why not ask the President or the VP, I hear they will do almost anything to make a buck. The VP's got his company all those no-bid contracts in Iraq and now the president allowing the Arabs to take over our nation's largest seaports. I've hear it's the first million dollars that hard to get, the rest of 'em come easy and it must be true. What happens most is most likely to happen again

I've hear it's the first million dollars that hard to get, the rest of 'em come easy and it must be true. Any time Chucky Sumer and that skank-slug from California is regurgitating words of wisdom, hold your nose and grab a barf bag. Chucky, the leading American who would would rather see you lying dead in the gutters of New York City, then have the chance to defend yourself. Barbara Box would look down and say, whats the problem? I can afford body guards, why can't you? Two people who have gotten rich off laws they have written, complaining about two Americans who got rich the old fashioned way - their family earned it. I have the same esteem for them that I have for STDs. Just who would you suggest America get to run those ports? Google, and name one company in America that can handle that type of contract. Even the Brits are getting out of the business, it is why the contract is up for acquisition. How about some South American company? NOPE! How about a country from Europe? Nope! How about Canada? NOPE! Liberals are great about complaining, but never have an answer. Forty years of liberal democrats, and all we got was a United Nations Building, a welfare program that is out of control, a Social Security program that will be broke before your children know what the abbreviation SSAN stands for, unions that support sub-standard labor for ourangeous prices, and thousands of country's who expect us to beg forgiveness for being better then they are. Know some one in the Navy? Ask them the to name best port in the Middle East they've been at. Ask them to name the port where the security allowed to to feel totally secure. Ask them to name a country in the Middle East where an American has never been blown up. Yep, the one country you know zilch about, but want to complain about. Oh, by the way, it is not HIS company any more. He doesn't need the money. He has more then you'll ever have, even if you won the lottery. Haliburton - is the ONLY company qualified to do what it does. Name another company that can set up operations in thrity days in a war zone? Four years later and there are only a few wannabes that still can't qualify. I prefer the BEST take care of America and its troops, not some one rinky-dinky outfit thrown together to look good at a Sounthern Conference meeting in Alabama! Either Chaney or Bush could buy you, give you away, and buy you back, and wouldn't even have to check the balance on their accounts. Unlike Billy-Bob and Hillary-Jane Clinton, they don't need the increase in pay, or rely on Pork Bellies to get invited to the better neighborhoods for dinner. They have no gutter to crawl out from. I'd trust my daugher in George Bushes house any day of the week; I wouldn't want her in the same neighborhood as Bill Clinton. You want to bad mouth the rich, go after the Swimmer Kennedy. Ask Mary-Jo's mom whether she prefers Kennedy or Bush.

I think an endorsement for H & R Block would have been more appropriate.

Why not? As long as the commercial wasn't stupid and really cheesy I would do it. My reasons are that the media is going to make your face known no matter what so you might as well use that to your own advantage. Also since it will probably take at least 2 weeks to get money from the Powerball in your pocket, this would be a good chance to take a private jet to florida get away and make a few bucks. All no someone else's dime. If you didn't want to keep all the money use 50% while waiting for your Powerball money and give 50% to charity. If you get more offers I would get an agent to advise me so that I wouldn't over do the commercials and look like a jerk. Also if I could get some of the these corporate sponsers I would get them to recomend some good financial advisors(in nebraska I would see if I could get a short meeting to get some financial advice from Warren Buffet). Try and end up a Billionaire instead of a dead broke media "joke" after 5 years. Investing is about taking advantage of your situation so I say if someone wants to pay you to do a commercial and give you the use of a private jet and probably put you up in some 5 star resort GO FOR IT!!

HAPPY TUESDAY....."PETER" .....now, that would certainly work for me, even if I don't care for the "junk food"..I certainly like the "money earned from pushing junk"..........

Anything to expose his identity. I sure wouldn't want to expose my self and tun into a beehive. How do you hide three hundred sixty-five million dollars from the publice - when the world wants to know? Ever heard of leaks? The world will know your name! No doubt about it. How many commercial ad-people have you seen walking through the supermarket you shop at? You wouldn't recognize Jack if he was sitting at the end of the bar. More money because you're known? Why not? You plan to invest your winnings don't you? Sheesh! There are many ways to not to expose yourself on a large scale. Time and patience is one thing. The rest I wouldn't expose. I might need it myself someday. From what I read in your posts its something you lack. It has been done before with very large jackpots.
