Hoosier Lottery admits new office too lavishReply
I like the way Zielke threw Densborn under the bus!!! That was so priceless the look on her face when he dimed her out! Yes, government officials aren't the best economizers. If given a budget, most government agencies look for ways to blow through that money. Buying items at inflated prices and occupying a space too large for needs...classic government waste. I also recall a certain someone who said HE would scrutinize every line item on budgets presented by Congress. We know that hasn't happen

$18.5M lottery winner 'scraping by'Reply
petergrfn, Sorry to hear of your misfortunes. Our family has struggled through some tragedy during the last decade, so I can sympathize with you. Winning the lottery is that one dream we all share, but remember that our primary aim should be to subsist on what we can earn, not what we don't have. The company that insured your relatives should be exposed as frauds. It is hard enough to face the expenses and heartache of a family member's grave illness, much less having to deal with their

Feds freeze online poker champ's winningsReply
Right now, right or wrong, agree or disagree, gambling online is risky business Right or wrong it's also, at least according to the government, illegal. This guy gambled at poker and won, but he also gambled on whether or not the government would catch him and enforce the law. Looks like he lost that bet. If they seized money from somebody who was being paid 10 grand to kill somebody nobody would be whining about the government interfering in hislife and taking his money, and nobody would b

Drug dealer must forfeit lottery jackpotReply
We each speak from our own body of experience, chewie. There's a difference between being 'afraid', and merely being realistic.I've got a lot of respect for the ability of this government to decide a person needs special attention. Such as they did at Ruby Ridge. Such as they did at Waco.By all means speak your mind. I gather from your attitude what's in your mind won't offend them, in any case. You can speak with total confidence they won't do anything. That's the cool thing about having

Texas Lottery considers changing jackpot calculationReply
Clowe said Thursday that he is concerned that miscalculating the lotto jackpot could undermine confidence in the game. Hohoho. Clearly, this is an example of the pitfalls associated with government-sanctioned gambling, said Nelson, an outspoken opponent of gambling. We have to be absolutely sure that everything that goes on there is open and aboveboard. The public needs to know what's going on. I need to know what's going on. Yup. All those years when a man could get busted for the Tuesday ni

British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but read this excerpt regarding Operation Northwoods from Wiki and judge for yourself. Or u can google it. It sounds very much like the scenario from 9/11. Operation Northwoods From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Operation Northwoods memorandum (13 March 1962)[1] Lyman L. Lemnitzer, who was in charge as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Operation Northwoods was a proposed false flag operation against the Cuban government, that or

N.Y. couple wins $162M lottery jackpot - but owes $1MReply
Any broad powers interpreted into or exercised under those two clauses and especially the commerce clause have been shystered into them. That is in keeping with what I've been saying. This government is rotten to the core. The commerce clause has been used for a plethora of illegal federal government intervention in things they have no right getting involved in. Things that they know they have no business sticking their nose in. The lack of any Constitutional challenge only denotes shysters on o

Tennessee bill advances to remove lottery winners from government assistanceNews Story

The bill would make any lottery winner of prizes more than $5,000 ineligible for government assistance. Howell said federal law, which has a lower prize threshold, requires

Canadian couple claims $40M Lotto Max jackpotReply
America had the best Healthcare in the world. There was no debate about that. Anyone who thought otherwise was misinformed beyond misinformed. Not that other counties were all bad. The problem with our system was how we handle un-insured people, illegal immigrants, people who couldn't pay, and the inflation in our monetary system, coupled with the fact that half of the spending on Healthcare was already done by Government, which hospitals would charge more to, causing inflation for every
