Yeah Hoover Dam..You could have left the "n" off we could have figured it out..I been there about 4 times and it's still is amazing to me..Don't ever go down the elevator there they pack you in like sardines...

 Can you define the role of the government, then? I mean, the government in general.

just a note guys, don't rush to claim it so fast

it takes like 2 weeks to get all the money form all the states into your state bank account to give to the winner

so you got 2 weeks form winning to get a lawyer and set up ever thing, no need to sign it and rush it next day lotto hq open lol, you got breathing room!

all you be really be doing  by signing it and claiming it so soon

is giving the media time to get  to you while your sure dirt poor waiting for the money :p,

make a phote copy of it

, and store it such as in a fireproof suitcase for your papers or bank deposit box as safest while the lawyers work out the details of what you want done!

no need to rush things when you cant get the money right away!

but you could always take a loan and get out of town lol

also about role of goverment in general

i can define it , at lest in the united states

our goverment works for us, they are all civil servants

they have zero power of them selfs,  all power comes form us, the people

we are kings unto ourselves really

our intent of the govt was to make sure we don't kill each other  musty and make trade easyer, by them controling money, so forth 

that was when we first made our 200 year old govt,

however in reality their :

I wrote to the Massachusetts Lottery in regard to anonymity for winners and I got the following reply:

I understand your concerns, but the name and hometown of all of our winners are public information under the Freedom of Information Act and the Lottery Rules and Regulations. Please understand that reason for this law is not to exploit prize winners or to gain publicity for the Lottery. The law was written so that the Lottery can validate its games.  To uphold its integrity, the Lottery must be able to provide a public record of who has won its games.. We always recommend that our winners seek both legal and tax advice when they win a large prize, preferably before they come forward with the winning ticket.  One way remain fairly anonymous is to claim the prize in a trust.

Thank you for taking the time to write about this important issue.

The role of government is explicitly defined in the Constitution. The Constitution places strict limits on the power of the federal government over the states and the people. It was written expressly to prohibit the massive federal bureaucracy we have now. It was written to prevent a domineering, dominating, all powerful centralized government the likes of which our forefathers fled in search of true freedom. Our government is now in the hands of control freaks who subvert and ignore the Constitution and would love nothing more than to do away with it. Without that Constitution our freedom is no longer guaranteed. The only rights we'll have will be determined by the big government people who's first interests are perpetuating big government. We'll have lost everything. 

It's a quick and fascinating read, just 7 articles and 27 amendments.

I highly recommend it.

I hope  that nobody figures out that I won $2 last night.

Imagine all the letters and the harrasment that I will get if they find out  that I was a big winner...
