Eastern Time (GMT-5:00) | $356 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot nears recordUnited States Member #122248 January 27, 2012 161 Posts Offline | | Posted: March 24, 2012, 6:32 pm - IP Logged | |
I've got a crock pot full of pulled chicken cooking up... I'm thinking to add some beans to some and make some chicken chili. But no lima beans. Adding beans in chili is sacrilege here in Texas, but chicken chili you can get away with it. That does it, chicken chili for dinner it is. Sounds mighty tasty!
We get the Goya Rancheros Refried Pinto Beans now off of a tip from some of my Wife's friends, mix that with a can of Fiesta Nacho Cheese for a simple but delicious bean dip.  Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. ~Ronald Reagan "None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free." ~Wolfgang von Goethe "It's preferable to be harmlessly paranoid than fatally stupid." ~Anonymous | | |

ok now you all made me put a pot of red beans/rice on the stove & cornbread....LOL.... Beans and cornbread had a fight. "Beans," said cornbread, "That's all right! Meet ya on the corner on Saturday night!" LOL. Nothing better than beans and cornbread. Pulled chicken might not be ready to make it as chili tonight. Will have to save for tomorrow. Missing a couple ingredients, so I'll have to go out and get them tomorrow... and pick up a couple more lottery tickets for Tuesday's draw. Clear eyes, full hearts, Texas forever!

And that much money id be happy to take it in 26 payments! There is not a single good reason to take the annuity in these times. Take the cash, invest with the help of investers, stash some away in a safe. Clear eyes, full hearts, Texas forever!

If it was to make it to 4/20 it would probably be over 1 billion! Nice bit of monery! Absolutely no doubt it would be over 1 billion. If no one wins this Tuesday the MM jackpot will exceed $500 million for Friday's drawing and have a cash lump sum value of over $350 million. | | |

That is my point. I do not want to deal with all the attention. It will change my current life, and I do not want that. I love the job that I do etc. Winning a lottery jackpot will change all that.
Better you or somebody else in lotterypost than me.
My dream is to win a MM or PB second prize, that is the reason I play. I'm gonna win $356,000,000 on Tuesday and I'll take all the attention that comes with it. 
Gonna win. | | |

Lao Tzu
Tao Te Ching.
Tao
1
The tao that can be told
is not the eternal Tao
The name that can be named
is not the eternal Name.
The unnamable is the eternally real.
Naming is the origin
of all particular things.
Free from desire, you realize the mystery.
Caught in desire, you see only the manifestations.
Yet mystery and manifestations
arise from the same source.
This source is called darkness.
Darkness within darkness.
The gateway to all understanding.
The Tao is infinite, eternal.
Why is it eternal?
It was never born;
thus it can never die.
Why is it infinite?
It has no desires for itself;
thus it is present for all beings.
The Master stays behind;
that is why she is ahead.
She is detached from all things;
that is why she is one with them.
Because she has let go of herself,
she is perfectly fulfilled. | | |

I will read about all of the attention that I am being given for winning the big cash, from the very comfortable hiding place! And be ROTFLOLing! dpoly1 - Playing the lottery to save the jobs of those that build, transport, sell & maintain luxury items! - Eschew Poverty ........... Vote Conservative! | | |

There are several people I know who would lose it all immediately, as they always spend exactly what they have, no more no less and NEVER save, but when put on a manditory budget (taking the annuity), they would only lose the amount they have, (not going into debt) and that would guarentee them to have ALOT for the length of the annuity. Other than that situation, I cant think of a reason, unless the winner were unconvinced that they or their experts could do a better return than the annuity percentage (which would be a pretty sad commentary). Personally? Take the cash baby! | | |

Personally? Take the cash baby! People like that are the first to sell their annuity to the annuity brokers that will hound them from the git-go, not realizing that by selling the annuity it does not absolve them from future tax liabilities. Then they get IRS problems. IF someone takes the annuity, they better be darn disciplined enough to live within the annuity limits, and smart enough to listen to advisors. Taking the annuity does not make an over spender into a budget conscious individual. Clear eyes, full hearts, Texas forever!
