The winner has claimed, he is a local from lapeer.

There is no random crap. Random yes, crap no. Every new post is connected to the previous, it's inherits the Random Walk pattern, likewise the lottery.

So, if, for example, you are reading about food stamps somewhere here, this could be highly correlated to the outcome of playing the lottery too much. You just miss the connection :)

Hint: there are other forum threads about strategies. You are in the article post now. Good luck.

The owner of the store where I usually buy my tickets told me the guy he's in a pool with bought tickets at the same store selling the winner. The owner said they didn't have the winning ticket and I told him to get a lawyer if the other guy did.

Any time there is a pool involved there will always be someone saying they should be part of the pool even if they didn't pay to play and demand their cut.

I hear ya Boris. Stack wants to discuss better ways to play the lottery. Give me a break!!!

There are only two ways to play MM or PB: pick your own or quick pick! I don't know any other way.

If all the books and methods worked then somebody would hit MM and PB every week. Plus people who played those systems would win all the time. It ain't happening!

Besides, if we knew how to win, we wouldn't tell Stack how to win the jackpot, right? I'd tell all my family and friends first so that th... [ More ]

Ok, let's discuss better ways to play.

So, do you think number 12 will come up tonight or long expected 28 for powerball? I personally think it would be 12.

wow, It felt so good to say it. Let me keep going then....

I also think that 07 28 42 43 53 and 12 has the biggest potential from my stack of tickets.

Woooooow. That was awesome. But boring.

Artist77 — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:19:34 GMT

I found the second one....http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0683240/ Tomorrow's child. Ray Bradbury Theater per google? But I saw an old episode I thought, not one from 1992. Ray Bradbury is the best. The is the craziest one of all time.

mcginnin56 — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 00:16:15 GMT

That was from Twilight! It was called Little Lost Girl

She somehow stepped into a portal leading into a new dimension.

You were right on the money

Yea they had a different vibe but still good...fave is the one when the child's wall is a doorway into another dimension. As they are pulling the father back, the doorway starts to close....

There was also an episode I saw one time and I can't figure out if it was the other limits but I always remembered it....a couple has a baby but it is in another dimenison (they see a triangle or something).....I googled it but can't find it.

OK, I'm not cheating promise!!! No google going on.

I remember the one where he and his wife were in a restaurant, and decided to play a penny into this fortune teller machine.

Don't remember title, but he became very obsessed with it's vague answers, that sounded like they were giving him some clues about his life.

Comment #41

mcginnin56 — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 23:48:29 GMT

Same here!

William Shatner got his early start in one of the Twilight episodes. Shatner kept seeing this gremlin on the plane he was on, that was trying to

rip the wing apart. Remember that one Artist.

It was called Nightmare At 20,000 Feet .

I should have realized it was somewhere in the east w/ the rt 3 sign

only thing i was sure of is that it was,nt MI.

Very good question Haymaker!

BTW that was season 2, episode 46. December 16, 1960. It was entitled A Most Unusual Camera

That episode was more comical than anything else.

I believe that technology is in the works! Can you imagine what the patent on that unusual camera would be worth.

Good job again by you and DC81 on narrowing down the location of pic

That seems to be the trend on LP lately where any lottery related discussion is quickly turned into a side show. The thing is, it takes participation to make a good message board and if all the off topic remarks were deleted, there would be very little to read. This topic is a good example because there really isn't much to discuss until the winning ticket is validated, but there are 28 replies and over 8000 views.

You're on it.

Look close @ the sign on the right side of the road,

see the rt.3 sign ? only rt. 3 in MI. is in SE detroit near lake st. clair.

Now look again at the pontiac sign, has a big GM at the bottom.

Its white letters w/ a red background, in the grand old U.S.A. they are white letters w/ blue background.

its somewhere in canada.

mcginnin56 — Sun, 19 Aug 2012 21:39:48 GMT

The camera is over 10 years old, that would explain the decade of aging after the pictures were taken. Had I used my newer camera, the Pontiac

signs would have not appeared, and the vehicles pictured would have been more contemporary.

Funny how that works, eh..? That would also explain why the picture my wife took of me, looked more like me from 2002 than 2012.

Whoever it is, they better have them a trust (preferably offshore) and/or and LLC (again preferably offshore) ready to directly transfer the money to and immediately have it burning up the lines straight overseas, and have their butts firmly planted in a first class seat on a plane going to wherever the money is going. Since Michigan won't let them claim anonomusly, then it is all the more important to have this done as quickly as possible.
