N.Y. bartender bought $7M lottery ticket on a whimNews Story
He'll drink to that! A Bronx bartender won $7 million from a scratch-off ticket he bought while killing time at a laundromat and now plans to spend big bucks on fishing gear, he said Tuesday. This is otherworldly. I never saw it coming, said Michael Moriarty adding the astonishing news brought him to his knees. A lot of people say this is karma, but I'm nothing special. I just do the best I can, he added. The 56-year-old cocktail shaker who has worked at Tavern on the Green and Uni

British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
You really shouldn't give any validity to what bigbore says: Trump, Carrier reach deal to keep 1,000 jobs in Indianapolis See? Trump isn't even President yet and he's already accomplishing great things. That's only from persuasion, just think of what he can accomplish when he gets in office. It depends upon just what you do for the govt. If your job is non-essential ...or, you're not any better at it than you were at fishing... then you'd best polish up your resume.

$160 MILLION: largest Mega Millions jackpot in 5 monthsReply
Don't you just love it when people who only play when a jp is pumped up want all the other players to pump it up for them. Hahaha I love this! For me it's not a matter of the jackpot being enough but more the fact that I know it will never materialize. If I'm gonna throw down moolah, at least make it a big fish worth fishing for! By holding out, I don't have any less (or more) chance of winning than anyone else, but my dreams can get bigger with a bigger prize. If everyone else wants to c

NJ Powerball winner wants his old life backReply
Willie can cry me a freaking river. These people get on my last nerve. Play the lottery and then complain when they actually win money. Boohoo. If you don't want your name in the news or people to call you for interviews, newsflash, STOP GIVING INTERVIEWS. How hard is it to charge your number and have it unlisted. To hear someone who was able to quit working and buy his dream property where all he'll do is go hunting and fishing calling the money that affords him to do that as a curse makes me w

$32 million Mega Millions ticket claimed in LA areaReply
Oh, I didn't realize they were different cities! And it doesn't have a harbor? (false adverstising, right?) I was hoping that the fishing picture was the spot you fish at but I'm sure there are many spots to fish in Egg Harbor. Seems like a nice, beautiful seaside town.

Hey Maker, Egg Harbor, NJ looks like a beautiful spot. I've never been there but I have been to Atlantic City which is right near there. I think I found a picture of you surf fishing in Egg Harbor: Seems to be welcoming as well: Heymaker, if we see one of these in our city, we'd better git to runnin' fast!

Lottery officials confirm Chubb workers as winners of $140M Mega Millions jackpotReply
I actually agree with those who DECIDE to CONTINUE to do something workwise, whether that is continuing to hold down a JOB or starting/continuing a BUSINESS. Doing WORK keeps ones MIND constructively occupied; to just go on a permanent vacation likely would lead to ones demise through boredom, frivolous spending, drug use, excessive gambling, and the like. Unless one found a CONSTRUCTIVE hobby that OCCUPIED the majority of one's time each day, such things are likely to occur and no amount of one
