The CNN Producer says its because of Faith and Hard Work! Bla bla bla

The CNN Producer is only saying this because he won. So wanting to make sense of his win in error takes credit for winning it because of his faith or hard work!

Baloney!!!!

What about the child molester that won a few years back? Or the Murderer? Was that because of Faith and hard Work!

Yeah Hard work molesting little kids! And murdering people!

Or the large Family who were all addicted to drugs each and every

Many of us do have good reasoning ability, but according to lottoreport, about 18.5 million tickets were sold for the previous ($50 million) PB drawing. At that time MM was offering a bigger prize at the same odds for half as much per chance. I'd say that's a lot of people making a choice that's not based on good reasoning.

FWIW, those 18.5 million tickets contributed almost $11.9 million (cash) to the jackpot. That would increase the advertised annuity value by about $19 million if they jack... [ More ]

For me, I have a small budget for Powerball Mega Millions only. I have been playing Mega Millions since the last big Jackpot for Powerball. I am waiting for the cash to get to my desired threshold, because Mega Millions is larger. This is nothing more than personal preference. I will most likely start playing both after Wednesday's drawing. Unless Mega Millions is won on Tuesday, then I will definitely play on Wednesday.

A lot of atheists are militant and hateful.

Like the ones always complaining about being offended by the public display of crosses or other religious icons.

It comes from an emptiness in the heart and soul.

Because God is love and if you don't have love in you, life is a very empty experience.

Nobody was asking you to adopt their beliefs.

We have freedom of religion and freedom of speech in this country which means people can openly praise their God if they so choose and you can't stop them.

It also means you can use your freedom of speech to attack them for their beliefs if you wanna be a schmuck.

And you are a schmuck, aren't you?

Always attacking the good people because you're afraid of the bad people.

I am respectful. But religion does not warrant respect. If you want to believe in an invisible man in the sky.. Fine. But don't get pissed when people aren't respectful of your childish dreams. Weak people believe in God . It's like counseling.. Just another way to profit of the weak.

I think many of us, have a very good reasoning capability, thank you very much. Rad and I just pointed out by HOW MUCH the sales were lagging. I know many people did not play the powerball last night, yours sincerely, didn't either.

Yes, the economy is blimy and yes, raising the prices was not a smart move but,when they doubled the price AND doubled the starting jackpot, they assumed hey, at double the jackpot price, people would jump to that, an extra dollar wouldn't hurt them.... [ More ]

Comment #48

Cletu$2 — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 15:48:37 GMT

Anyone with a brain could have predicted this.

Raising the price 100% in this economy is insane.Only the hardcore gamblers will think its alright and continue to throw money at it.Most will wait until the jackpot gets to $100,000,000 or more before trying to hit the jackpot.

Comment #47

rad242 — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 15:37:24 GMT

Of course I noticed!

I am not a happy camper here. I was hoping it would surpass the current Mega Millions Jackpot and really make a statement to lottery players.

Now we can suggest that sales are LAGGING. If it flips again at this rate I'll be back on XANAX.

Comment #46

sandia — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 14:24:21 GMT

Oh, did anybody notice that the jackpot annuinitized (I hope I spelled that right) increased by just $10 million for the second time? Looks, like the sales are slow. Hmm, few people are playing even with the promise of bigger of jackpots.

That came off as a long rant on my part. I just do not understand why any side decides to bring in religion or lack of it in a negative format.

If you know the average demographic of lottery players, you will quicly understand. I am not religious at all, but I refrain from criticizing religion in here because of the backlash.

You must be very old.

We don't call them bums anymore.

It's much easier to see them as victims that way.

Which opens the door for politically connected people to get high-paying government jobs as coordinators in social welfare agencies.

In fancy offices.

So they can help the homeless .

Cuz nobody would want to help bums .

Even shows you how fast word spreads when you publicly talk about your win (might be a sign to change a few things if you don't want the publicity)....Being positive and doing positive things has its rewards....Kudos to her and her family
