Maybe Tiggs modeled his trampoline hopping skills to make this little fluffy dude.

That's the same look tiggs gets when he's on his trampoline.

If this site have 1 million member and each give $100 each. That 100 millions. That like hitting a jackpot. I wish few peoples from here hit jackpot. There a guy that

hit Powerball jackpot. He got like 100 millions. Then he said if he go this way. He will be a billionair. His picture was on the web and it said how much he won.

I want Michigan to hit Powerball jackpot. Gov of Michigan want to up the cost for your car or something. To fix the road. If someone hit Powerball jackot. They can

When I win, I would also like to give back to my family....but need to be careful of the tax repercussions associated with that. Need to hire a tax lawyer to figure out the best way to do this

TheGameGrl — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 02:09:40 GMT

I predict that it wont hit til next year when we have to pay more to win less. ANd then it will be a group of 20 wall street fell'rs who just happened to be out walking one afternoon and drummed up a whoppin whole dol'r to play. The PB will be #28 when it wins.

On the outragously notgonnahappeninmylife chance that I win, I too will gracious thank the contributors and then kick Uncle Sam in the shin ...tired of relatives taken what aint theres'.

Original Post by RJOh

At my age my future is now and there are lots of things and services I would buy before I died if I had the money. Building a new homes, buying a new car or two every year, hiring people and services to maintain my home and me would help the local economy. Providing jobs for people instead of charity is the way I would do it.

weshar75 — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 22:57:57 GMT

If I am lucky enough to win I am going to give my money to my family. Like my mother is getting $10 million and my sister and her husband are getting $5 million each. Then every month I would donate to the food bank. I would give back to my old high school too. Yuo got to share the wealth around with that much money. I would still live very comfortable with the rest of the money after I donated some of it away in various places and to various people.-weshar75

RJOh — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 21:55:06 GMT

Sounds like you got the idea if I won a lottery jackpot I would give it all away to others.

You misread my statement, I didn't say I would help others, I said I would help the local economy by spending my winnings instead of storing it away for the future as you implied most retired people do.

At my age my future is now and there are lots of things and services I would buy before I died if I had the money. Building a new homes, buying a new car or two every year, hiring people and servic... [ More ]

KSplayer — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 19:49:13 GMT

Very true, there are some very good causes out there that you could donate to like the March of dimes, breast cancer research, the red cross and the american heart association. Not to mention what you can do for your comunity, i live in a very small town and know our school and food bank would love any donations they could recieve. I know for my family and all the medical bills and everything else it would be a blessing to recieve a windfall like this

Comment #25

freeobama — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 19:33:35 GMT

It is good to hear that you would help others RJOh if you were to win . What gets me is those people who win a enormous jackpot like this and state that the money will not have an effect on their life and nothing will change but a new truck. I think people like that should not even play.

Comment #24

RJOh — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 19:20:18 GMT

Well I'm retired, never married or had kids but do have a sibling with kids that I only hear from around Christmas so I would spend my time trying to spend it helping the local economy.

It see it. I feel it. I smell it. I declaire it. I invoke it. It's mine... Well good luck too all players. I pray that someone who really needs the blessing receives it. I no the odds are against me , but I no in my heart it can happen too me.... Well if it does I'm thanking you ahead of time lord for the blessing...

freeobama — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 18:21:42 GMT

The things that someone can do with that kind of money. Normally when the jackpot get this big it goes to a retired couple or a lottery group.The retired couple normally say it will not change their life much and leave the money with kids and grand kids.The lottery groups split the money up into a hundred parts and have enough left for a car and a vacation.

I have been away for quite a while and it seems, a lot has happened when I went incognito, LOL. $203 million, MY GOD! After taxes (we know we have to pay up, we have no choice in that matter), it would be an approximate $80 million, GOD, the things ANYONE can do with that kind of money. Well, good luck to everyone this Saturday, may a deserving person win it, this weekend.

I'll buy my regular set of numbers along with one quick-pick = $3 no more, no less. Jackpot frenzy strikes every year around this time with people spending hundreds of dollars trying to hit the big one - only to find out the winner never played before and only spent one or two bucks on quick picks. Actually I'll probably spend more money on 203 - I like that number for New Jersey midday.

Good luck everyone.

$203 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot heats up

Lottery Post — Thu, 27 Oct 2011 11:14:52 GMT

By Todd Northrop

There was no jackpot winner in the Wednesday drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery game, causing the grand prize to increase to an estimated $203 million for Saturday's drawing.

Wednesday was the 12th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner.

The estimated cash value for the new jackpot is $123.2 Million. After-tax cash and annuity prize amounts are reported state-by-state at USA Mega, a web site devoted to the Powerball and Mega Millions multi-state lottery... [ More ]
