The Lottery Office is closed until Monday but speculation in Lapeer rages on

Must be the only town that still sells Pontiac.

I call BS.  All the cars in that picture are older. Pontiac signs came down a while ago

The camera is over 10 years old, that would explain the decade of "aging" after the pictures were taken. Had I used my newer camera, the Pontiac

signs would have not appeared, and the vehicles pictured would have been more contemporary.

Funny how that works, eh..?     That would also explain why the picture my wife took of me, looked more like me from 2002 than 2012.

In the camera business, I believe they refer to that as the "Time Machine Effect". Quantum physics, 4th and 5th dimensions, worm holes,

black holes, and all that geeky Einstein stuff. 

You're  on it.

Look close @ the sign on the right side of the road,

see the rt.3 sign ? only rt. 3 in MI. is in SE detroit near lake st. clair.

Now look again at the pontiac sign, has a big GM at the bottom.

Its white letters w/ a red background, in the grand old U.S.A. they are white letters w/ blue background.

its somewhere in canada.

I can't believe some people actually thought mcginnin was posting a legitimate picture.  Haven't you been paying attention?  All he does is post random crap because he thinks it's funny.

hey, it really is funny. If not for him, this place would be boring. Rejoyce, as due to these posts, Force is running strong in this place.

The "Time Machine Effect" depending upon the make and model of camera used, has been known to have a geographical quantum variance

factor of +/-  1250 miles. The clues that that your observing, are providing invaluable tracking information for any future "aging effects" of this

particular model of the Samsung digital camera.

Congrat's on the narrowing down of the exact latitude/longitude of location Haymaker.

The only remaining mystery, would be the exact time this abnormality occurred. Looking forward to any additional clues to provide final closure.

Everything posted here is "legitimate" brat. The only remaining quagmire, is for the viewing audience to conclude their own unique relevance.

The forces are indeed running very strongly here tvboris. Upon your arrival here, there is also much cause for celebration!   

Roger that, GG!

You're welcome, golfer.

Yeah, I do a month at a time that way. Saves a lotta comin' down from the mountain.

If I win a little though, it's hammer time. Dam the torpedoes, full speed ahead.

Look out mama, Big Daddy's on the road again!

It's Maine.

That seems to be the trend on LP lately where any lottery related discussion is quickly turned into a side show. The thing is, it takes participation to make a good message board and if all the off topic remarks were deleted, there would be very little to read. This topic is a good example because there really isn't much to discuss until the winning ticket is validated, but there are 28 replies and over 8000 views.

I agree the large number of off topic posts and now pictures are going way over the top, but haven't seen anyone from management pointing out any of the "Golden Rules" to mcginnin or anyone else so it must be fine with them. It's all about credibility and we can decide for ourselves which members have any lottery related credibility and which members don't.

"If not for him, this place would be boring."

Mediabrat,

I rest my case. They've been a member for 11 whole days and believe it's boring discussing better ways to play and win lottery games.
