California lottery check a ticket

 I discovered how to get into the App Store on my Iphone 8. I then typed in CA lottery check a ticket and was able to check my winning ticket with my cell.    I can take a photo of the ticket and the check a ticket icon is at the bottom of the ticket.

 I can't wait until I use it on my first major jackpot win. I do not need to go to the retail store.

 Presently I have a $4 win waiting to be claimed. The rest are still good for more draws.

 Happy Hunting!

the homeless, unemployed, and drug use.

I viewed C-SPAN 2. They talked about polls dealing with the homeless, unemployed and drug users.

 There is a lot of agreement among the different political parties. As in most situations in life we need leadership.

 Part of the unemployment problem can be solved by changing how small business licenses are issued. Try starting a florist business in your home. You could be breaking the law if you do not have a license. These are road blocks in the way of employment. 

 Drug use and homelessness go hand in hand. This is about changing the law. One idea or solution is to decriminalize drug use. Treat it as a Civil Offense where treatment is offered. Now we have felons with records trying to get a job and a home.

 I hope that we are looking for the best leaders to help us change this way of life. This is why we have elections. Leadership is required.

 Thank You for your time and comments.

Money, Lottery and Freedom

Do you believe and hope that money won in the lottery will provide more freedom to you?

 Will you feel a lot more free? How will you feel after a major win? 

 I will be able to move and live somewhere else. I will afford a lot of things.

MM dreaming

Who else is dreaming of winning tonight's MegaMillions jackpot? Each State is different. I would walk away with $29,358,000.00 after tax day on April 15, 2020. 

 Are you considering investing the majority of the winnings? Buying a new home? A new car? More clothes? 

 A lot depends upon how old you are. A senior citizen will not have as many expenses as a young couple. 

  Good Luck!

Power Ball jackpot

Tonight 6/22/2019  Most of us will be playing to win Power Ball. What are your plans? 

 The jackpot that I will win will be worth $44,000,000.00 After Tax Take Home ATTH. I am here in California where there is no State tax on lottery products.

 I have a choice of placing the winnings into CDARS/ICS or the Stock Market and real estate. 

 I will cross those bridges when I get to them. I do not count my chicks until they are hatched.

 But, it is fun to dream about how my life will be changed. I will be blessed with this blessing.

 Thank You for your time and comments! music*

 Today the casinos have the roulette wheel which is a lottery wheel. You choose a number and hope you win something.

 Now we have the Lottery games.

$40,000,000.00 starting jackpots

Both PB and MM have begun new runs. I do appreciate the $40 million beginning jackpots. 

 The twenty draws until a humongous jackpot rears it's head is where I play to win. I am given the opportunity to live a comfortable life with less risk. 

 Oh sure, I am ready to win a record jackpot. 

 These smaller jackpots have their advantages.Hyper

The Long Peace

Ever since the end of World War 2 there has been a long peace throughout the World. With the exception of Proxy Wars in Korea and Vietnam. 

 Peace lovers throughout the World have worked tirelessly to maintain the peace. The United Nations peacekeepers settle the differences between feuding parties after they get sick of fighting each other.

 Iraq, Afghanistan, and Syria are in the news because they are not the norm. The rest of the World is enjoying Peace. 

 This has seen advancements in Medicine, Computers, and Artificial Intelligence "AI". To name a few of the bright spots.

California Check- A - Ticket

Has anyone else noticed the improvement of the Check-A-Ticket machines here in CA. There is a beam of light that focuses on the new computer code stamp. It is faster and makes less errors. 

 This is in addition to the bar code. The previous way of checking your winners. 

 This feature allows players to check their ticket with a cell phone anywhere.

Choosing the Power Ball Annuity

Looking at past Power Ball winners who have lost it all is not encouraging. I may think and believe that I am different but I am like everyone else. 

 The current PB Annuity = $414,000,000.00 The first year payout after all taxes are paid is $3.9 million. Thanks to USAMEGA.

 Before I make this momentous decision I will talk with representatives from various investment companies. Like Charles Schwab, Morgan Stanley, and others. I will compare how they will invest the Lump Sum = $156,177,000.00 What kind of returns can I expect. 

 The figure of $156,177,000.00 is the net after all taxes are paid.

 The Stock market may start going into a rough patch soon. 

 I have been watching Dave Ramsey and he said that he bought real estate at the bottom of the market in 2008. He did what Warren Buffet said to do, "Buy when others are fearful and sell when others are greedy."

 Those who bought at the bottom are now wealthy.  Of course, nobody knew what the bottom would be but experienced investment counselors may help at that time

 J.D. Rockefeller said to, "Buy when there is blood running in the streets".

Your vote is being diluted.

With every birth in your Congressional District, your power of representation is being reduced. You might have been one voter in 100,000 back ten years ago but now you are one voter in 500,000  The Congress is not adding more seats to it's Chamber. They are not building a larger Capital. 

 Good Luck in contacting your Congress member. 

 This is taxation without representation. The American Revolution was fought over the King of England increasing taxes and not listening to the colonists.
