The Sanford Son pickup is 51-52.The 53's looked similar to to the 56's except the A-pillar was different.Ford completly rebuilt their 53 pickup for their 50th anniversary.

I feel the same way about 56 ford F-100s .........

every one knows the 4 best years for a ford pick up was '52-3 and the 59-60

Zoom zoom #1 is 2011 Aston Martin DB9, Golfer.

And I love the modified golf carts. The first is a Hummer, the second is a 56 pickup.

Wow Pia, you've got great taste in cars!

I agree that a broken-in car (used) is just as good as the newer ones. The first car photo (Mercedes I think) is gorgeous and you'd look good in it (that's your photo in the Avatar right?).

The Jeep looks cool and I'd love to have a golf cart that looks just like it. The Pickup is sweet and would be a great car to get around the compound in (the big house you're going to buy).

Did you ever notice when the media talks about the Kennedy's house th... [ More ]

I hear ya Gogi, winning $22M and keeping 20% would be fantastic. How about winning $205M and keeping 20%? Go get a ticket before it's too late.

Got my tickets. Got a little bit of all the jackpots... PB, MM, Texas Lotto. I'll do with either one.

Gonna have a few hundred acres, some horsies, some longhorns, a few doggies, and a bunch of barn kitties. And some zoom-zoom. They're gonna call me the crazy lady with all the critters.

If I win the Powerball, I'm going to the French Open next year. I love tennis and Paris.

Opps! I like all things Paris

Yo hearsetrax, LOL! They are cute cats but what happened to their hair?

I'm afraid I'm starting to look like that as I get older: Hairless and wrinkled!

Speaking of cute cats:

I can't tell if he's yawning or laughing but I love this photo

Lol @ people who think they have some special numbers more significant than anyone else's. Just pick some dam random numbers. Stop trying to be smart about it. Just makes you look dumb ironically.

weshar75 — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 04:09:21 GMT

Oregon has not had a winner in awhile so I hope that I can either hit for $40,000 or $2 million or the jackpot. That would start my summer off on the right foot. Good luck!-weshar75

Hey Haymaker, Is that your dog? He/she is a cutie.

I found the picture on google search.

I love bishon frise dogs. My friend has one and I take care of him when he goes on vacation. Bishon's have such a nice personality. I want one but I'm rarely home and have the time to take care of one.

If you love Bishon's, enjoy

gogidolim — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 02:34:35 GMT

I dunno. I am happy with the current $22 millions for Mega Millions. I would actually split the 80% with my parents and sisters, then I will only keep the remaining 20%.

BuyLow — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 02:21:11 GMT

Close typically only counts in horeshoes and hand grenades. However, you have such a consistently positive attitude that one can't help but hope the close includes you too one day! Good luck!! The very first winning FL Powerball jackpot of $189M was won close to me. I am still hopeful and in belief lady luck will indeed knock on my door as wel

Greens fees at Pebble Beach: $495.00

Front row at the Knicks game: $13,335.00

2011 Cadillac CTS: $35,490.00

New 5bd/5ba home in Rumson, NJ: $1.35M

Winning $205M Powerball Ticket: Priceless

There's only a few things $2.00 can buy, for everything else there is Mastercard .

I'm keeping my tickets under my pillow. Dream on and good luck

maximumfun — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 17:31:36 GMT

The old game price I would buy 3 tickets pb (3$) and 2 mm (2$)... now with the new i actually spend less. i only buy 1pb (2$) and 2mm (2$)... so the increase SAVED me money... less chances same odds. and i have an extra 4 to 5$ in my pocket each month (which normally goes to the increase in GASOLINE prices

RJOh — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 14:56:02 GMT

I think even when a year has passed, those players who don't like the $2 per line change will feel the same way. Buying 20 lines instead of 10 gives the players who choose their lines a sense of more control of their destinies even when they lose which doesn't matter to players who buy quick picks.

Normally I would, but the number of $10M rolls has shown there is a lack of interest. If you look at that same link I posted, this is also stated:

Game Variety

Now that Mega Millions and Powerball are available (nearly) everywhere, we wanted to give players more variety. Powerball is now the premium lotto game with higher jackpots (most of the time; Mega Millions is still a big jackpot game); a $1 million second prize (second place is no longer the first loser ); and better overall odds.

mediabrat — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 07:06:03 GMT

Not to sound like a MUSL apologist, but we've only had 5 winners since the switch (4 if you exclude the run in progress when the switch occurred), plus the current run. Isn't it a bit unfair to be judging the results so harshly after barely 5 months

Comment #22

RedStang — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 05:07:19 GMT

Thanks. I bought the ticket you did'nt want.

Comment #21

Guru101 — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 04:45:41 GMT

This certainly is a big jackpot, but the MUSL hasn't held up to what it has advertised. If you look at this page, it states that the average jackpot was suppose to go up from $141M to $255M.

If you include the money collected during the switchover from $1 to $2, the average jackpot up until now has been $152M. More importantly(since it only includes the $2 game), if you exclude the money collected during the switchover, the average jackpot has been $115M. So in effect, even though you see sig... [ More ]

Good..... I don't want anything meaningful here, just a one night stand.

Comment #12

maringoman — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 21:42:18 GMT

The numbers have no meaning at all. They are just random and meaningless. I got them when I first purchased season tickets and asked for quick pics.

Comment #11

mcginnin56 — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 21:38:37 GMT

I will play those numbers tomorrow, what the hell.....2 bucks.

Any particular meaning to the #'s?

I like the 56 and 13, and already play those among my regular numbers.

Comment #10

maringoman — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 21:32:10 GMT

I think I've spent about $20 since powerball increased the ticket price in january.

I am tempted to stay away but about $100M after taxes is motivation enough to spend $2.

Good luck everybody. Maybe somebody can play my numbers 19,23,31,47,56 (13) and win when I win.

I have played these numbers for more than 5 years.

Comment #9

HaveABall — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 20:46:59 GMT

in my brain, it would be plenty, after Federal and State Income Taxes (and tax deductable donations), for me and 3 of the adults that I have in my thoughts to share it evenly! Spending the $21M each, in enjoyable ways monthly, until we each potentially live to 100 years of age (argh) either together or apart.

$205 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot surges

Lottery Post — Thu, 07 Jun 2012 14:13:09 GMT

By Todd Northrop

There was no jackpot winner in the Wednesday night drawing of the multi-state Powerball lottery game, causing the grand prize to increase to an estimated $205 million for Saturday's drawing.

Wednesday was the 12th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner. The jackpot run started April 28 as a $40 million jackpot.

The estimated cash value for the new jackpot is $139.6 million. After-tax cash and annuity prize amounts are reported state-by-state on the Jackpot Analysi... [ More ]
