Contrary to popular opinion, education does NOT equate to intelligence. There are many educated fools in the world.

California Lottery announces group as winners of historic $1.765 billion Powerball jackpotReply
Interesting. I think the education system in Britain is much better than United States. The British appear to understand probabilities much better. In Britain, most jackpots are won by pools. They are referred to as syndicates in Britain. There is mathematical proof. Your odds of winning increase dramatically with more tickets bought.

$36 million Mega Millions ticket sold in Florida goes unclaimedReply
This was the only unclaimed Mega Millions jackpot ticket in 2023 Only one? With just 6 jackpots in 2023 what are the odds that only 16.67% of them would go unclaimed? Using that math formula, 80% of $36 million is $28.8 million (which goes to education), and 20% is $7.2 million (going back to future prizes). Using a better formula 80% is $13.92 million because they're probably not going to put that money in to a 29 year annuity.

Australian lottery winner sues daughterReply
When I win the lotto, i'll tell everyone about it and when I get tired of the money, i'll just give it away. I'll help the sick and the poor since the poor are the ones mainly robbed by the lottery (see the topic entitled, If The Lottery Was Honest ). They say the profits from the lottery go to education , but the billions that the lottery has made is enough to educate the world! It's the same old story...the lions feed off the lambs and the rich feed off of the poor. A blatant example

Convicted murderer Dee Dee Moore wants new trialReply
Everyone is entitled to due process. I personally believe she is guilty based on what we already know. She took advantage of a man who wanted to help others too much and his lack of education made it easy to do so. I think he figured it out and when he confronted her that was the end of his life. Even if she does get a new trial, I agree her conviction will stand. The only downside to that is she'll just keep rotting in prison and not get sent to Death Row where she belongs.

Alabama Lottery bill falls short by one voteNews Story
Alabama lawmakers sick of indecision following years of debate By Kate Northrop A bill to authorize a state lottery and casinos in Alabama failed by just one vote, the closest the state has ever come to enacting a state lottery since 1999. One vote made the difference in the Alabama legislative session, resulting in voters just barely missing out on seeing a lottery question on the ballot this year. The last time Alabama residents saw a lottery proposal in the voting booth was in
