You're right, I've been lazy.

I should have been working hard to get one of those lifetime government entitlements those libruls have been passing out for years.

All I'd have to do is vote the way they tell me.

All I'd have to do is sell out my principles and core values.

All I'd have to do is give up my self-respect, my self-worth, my honor, my dignity and any semblance of being a man or having a backbone.

Kind of like you.

Well, probably your obvious confusion was the fault of Obama and those libruls.

It's not like you have any responsibility for the outcome of your own life.

Well someone won my MegaMillions last night so I'll be getting one or two more Powerball tickets and a Texas Lotto. If I'm going against the odds I might as well go all the way and try to bring home a PB win to accompany the states MM win.

Lol, just felt like stooping down for a minute, put myself in the shoes of the little guy... hahahaha ok just joking Mario38. I was simply annoyed because you started this whole thing by basically telling rdgrnr to shut up, which I thought was rude. And then you attempted to insult Americans but only displayed your own ignorance towards your country, which I thought was hilarious btw. However, you are correct for rebuking my own contradictions. An eye for an eye only means 2 folks can no longer

At least we don't have to worry about that in my area of the country, all the train stations have been torn down or are museums. Unfortunately, we don't have any docks for ships either.

Happy Saturday to you too, Cash!

I hope your ship comes in too!

My ship came in a couple times in my life.

Unfortunately, I was at the train station.

Thanks Crazy but seriously, we're all friends here.

They're not haters or anything of the sort, they just get very nervous and excitable sometimes and for some reason I seem to have a soothing and calming effect on them. It's all good.

Comment #46

CrazyHazyYay! — Sat, 28 May 2011 08:33:34 GMT

Hahahahaha I was itchin' somethin' fierce to swoop in and defend your honor, rdgrnr, but it seems you are quite capable at putting these haters in their place. Especially that little guy who doesn't practice what he preaches. Don't them hypocrites just rile you up?! Anyway, keep it comin' with your southern wit, something I've missed dearly since moving from Georgia to NJ. Thank you kindly sir.

Got my $1 towards tomorrows drawing when I went and got my $2 for tonights MegaMillions. May end up throwing some more at it tomorrow, I'm wanting the MM one more though. Still more than enough to live a care free life and not enough to have media searching all over for me, especially compared to win the PB hits.

rdgrnr — Sat, 28 May 2011 01:58:36 GMT

Well, thank you kindly, Cash.

Those two little guys are ok though, they're just a little high strung is all.

Genome — Sat, 28 May 2011 01:49:25 GMT

It would be extremely nice if I win. Someone from Massachusetts havent won a mega millions or powerball since 2004. So its time for MA to win again. I might pick the cash. I dont know if I should claim anonomysly with a trust. I like to see who wins jackpots, and I want all of lotterypost to know its a young dude and one of them.

HaveABall — Sat, 28 May 2011 01:19:21 GMT

I, too, hope I win this jackpot. I can feel the happiness when I envision of investing and spending the cash value amount!

Apparently, youngmoney2, you weren't aware that, depending on the state of the jackpot win, one MUST allow their image, etc. to be used by the lottery headquarters. One rarely is allowed secrecy, as the lottery headquarters has indicated that our country's society DEMANDS proof of a person or group that won (odd, since my thought used to be that it is possible that the w...

Well you should rest your case, little guy; it's in your best interest when you don't even know you live in a bi-lingual country.

Canadian - English

Canadien - French

Wow is right

That's how the hockey team in Montreal spells it, little guy.

Does that mean they're Americans

Comment #31

Mario38 — Fri, 27 May 2011 16:12:46 GMT

You appear to know nothing about Canadians including how to spell the word. This is true of most Americans. It is too bad. There is a lot you could learn including how to be more civil.

Comment #30

rdgrnr — Fri, 27 May 2011 16:02:06 GMT

Ok, little guy, I'm in a good mood and you're my favorite little Canadien.

I almost feel like coming up there and taking you out for a burger and hot chips!

And then maybe we'll go to the Community Center and learn how to make Teriyaki Style Wolverine Jerky

Mario38 — Fri, 27 May 2011 15:18:56 GMT

rdgrnr, you should make an effort to be more polite and follow the advice if you have nothing good to say about a person, then say nothing at all .

Grab me two tickets with the power play. I would be happy with just the million.

you ever think, if you bought a quick pick before the 8:30PM cutoff, you would have been the one and only Powerball winner for that draw

In Ohio, all games except PowerBall can be played up to 15 min before its drawing. MegaMillion can be played up to 10:45 PM EST on drawing night but PowerBall can only be played up to 10:00 PM EST on drawing night, so you have to remember which game you're playing.

Comment #22

OldSchoolPa — Fri, 27 May 2011 01:06:47 GMT

Yeah but you Californians have been winning Mega Millions on a frequent basis like the folks in Indiana and New York have both been winning Powerball and Mega Millions...so no sympathy here. We Illinoians pay in but rarely win the big one.

Comment #21

OldSchoolPa — Fri, 27 May 2011 01:03:03 GMT

I am not hatin' but I am sure glad no one hit Powerball last night. I had been swamped with work all day and it was around 8:30 PM when I finally got around to heading to my nearby convenience store of choice to buy my tickets. Well, I bought two plays for Powerball, a QP and a self-pick and I only checked that the game and numbers were correct. And I saw the date, but I had completely lost track of which day it was! Also bought a Lotto ticket since the jackpot for that game is significant (over... [ More ]

Woo Hoo!

Big money for the Powerball

Powerball lottery jackpot increased to $171 million

Lottery Post — Thu, 26 May 2011 11:11:50 GMT

By Todd Northrop

The multi-state Powerball lottery drawing happened last night without any jackpot winners, causing the new jackpot for Saturday's drawing to grow to an estimated $171 million, with a cash option of $88.7 million.

Wednesday night was the 9th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner.

Even though there were no jackpot winners, 6 lucky tickets matched the first five numbers for a $200,000 second-place prize: 1 from Florida, 1 from Idaho, 1 from Nebraska, 1 from Washingt... [ More ]
