Interesting information, whiteballz! That may break down to apx. $604/month Child Support payment. I wonder why so much (more than one child)? Maybe child support payments is why Pedro retired very early from owning working in bodega/convenience store; selling store to one of his older children.

Pedro is probably quickly working with a lawyer to ensure that his child (moved from the U.S.A. to Dominican Republic) quickly receives the back $29K, plus a higher arranged monthly amount contract. T... [ More ]

I'm sure that far more people know what the fringe is for, except that they're wrong. The claims about the fringe making it a military flag is just an urban legend, but unlike most urban legends this one is mostly promoted by genuine lunatics. The web is full of nearly identical stories making paranoid claims about jurisdiction (or lack thereof) and fringed flags.

Wow, JoshUK, your Country's EuroMillions Lottery is up to approximately 167.1M Pounds (lump sum, no taxes to legal resident, if in UK)!!!

Thus, if a solo person legal resident (in one of EuroMillions participating, mostly non-taxed countries) was the possessor of that winning ticket, it would be a jackpot win WAY BIGGER than this Pedro's Powerball win! Wow, what a month that would make March for TWO massive lottery jackpot wins to essentially a solo recipient

QP have always been the answer- some folk who do win say they used the kids birthdays, their anniversary, parents wedding day and so on so forth.Thing is, how many people who do that win?its probably 1-175 mil. In any event that kind of system is no match for QP's.

Agreed Josh! Years ago when I first started playing I would pick my own using one of my strategies and fill out the playslips at home and bring them to the store to play. I stopped doing it because I found that there is no strategy that works. QP's are just as good if not better and it saves you time when buying your tickets. Less face time with the cashier buying tickets the better. I have gotten the stink eye on more than one occasion when buying tickets.

QP's are really the only way to go IMO. You can't predict random. I've tried wheeling and using various hot/cold/overdue strategies. It never made one bit of difference or helped me get more than 3 numbers out of 6.

I've been playing for years and most I've ever gotten was 4 out of 6 ONCE on a QP. I can't imagine what it must be like to match all 6 numbers. Like finding the holy grail or something. I would seriously be If I ever did.

In General the mail system are very good, USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, Ryder, etc, but there is always that one risky chance that something might get caught in the conveyor belt at the sorting plant.

Having said that, your mail will get to its destination to the extents of the strengths of your belief and to such extents that are strong, nothing will happen to it.

Even 1,2,3,4,5 and PB of 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 can win. The mathematics of probability says so, but the laws of faith says no, simply because most who ever play 1,2,3,4,5 do not believe in them enough. But again anything is possible. So I Think!.
