I would re paint it Sixers colors. HATE the Celtics also. But also have a Clippers logo that's my 2nd team.

OMG hearsetrax!! I don't like the car/truck but that house is unique! I can't say it's my taste but when you acquire it, I'll bring the six pack cause I'm dying to see it with my own eyes.

golfer1960 — Sat, 11 May 2013 02:41:48 GMT

Masone!! Wow I like your taste in cars and homes. Let's see what kind of women you like, I'd probably like that too. Just kidding of course!

That house is so big but it's beautifully decorated and it has it's own pool and basketball court.

It's so big that that kind of responsibility makes me nervous. However, you enjoy it and have a party for your fellow LP'ers, ok

Masone — Fri, 10 May 2013 22:00:19 GMT

Yeah 10 might be overkill. Definitely a couple luxury cars, a muscle car and a couple supercars. So probably 5 in total. 6 if I end up having kids, then an SUV out of necessity. The Ferrari or the Audi R8 would be the very first thing I bought.

Comment #45

BuyLow — Fri, 10 May 2013 21:54:47 GMT

You know I love cars but think 2-3 would be more than enough for me maybe the S8 (superfast sedan), an SL 65 (superfast coupe/convertible) and a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 (fast SUV)......

savagegoose — Fri, 10 May 2013 21:52:05 GMT

to be honest all i have done is read about their services. seems theyre good reliable cars to the point when they start needing services, then its all hell to pay getting everything fixed.

Comment #43

Masone — Fri, 10 May 2013 21:48:21 GMT

Nice. I will definitely have an Audi luxury car in my stable after I win. I think I might buy 1 of every popular luxury car. Audi, BMW, Lexus, Infiniti, Mercedes and Jaguar. 6 luxury cars, 1 muscle car(Camaro) and 3 super cars(Ferrari, Ford GT, Audi R8).

Comment #42

BuyLow — Fri, 10 May 2013 21:20:12 GMT

LOL, I hope they are more reliable than a VW Jetta I had....total POS

Comment #41

savagegoose — Fri, 10 May 2013 21:15:43 GMT

a stable of cars is a good idea, especially if you have an audi , you will need the stable of cars once it starts going to the shop.

Comment #40

BuyLow — Fri, 10 May 2013 20:46:58 GMT

A dollar and a dream.....I believe!

The screened patio on one of my three modest new houses.

And one of several cars I will have in my stable of cars.

Time to play at least five lines. Good luck everyone.

hsg2000 — Fri, 10 May 2013 11:27:22 GMT

I have the same concerns, my state of Louisiana has had no wins in the 2nd place either for MM PB, I feel disheartened too. It appears a sort of inner sabotage that is unexplainable.

Can someone tell what happens behind the closed doors. Is it a fair game

Comment #37

Masone — Fri, 10 May 2013 00:05:20 GMT

Yeah it's an R8.

It's funny I had just realized that was Wahlberg's house. I had vaguely remembered seeing the house before so I searched the address on Google and found out it was his house. With a basketball court and a gym, he has good taste. But if I ever bought it I'd burn that Celtics pavement that stains the basketball court. Go Lakers

I for one, always look forward to hearing your thoughts ballz.

They withhold 25% and its up to you to file your return in such a way that you don't owe more.

Comment #34

Party1377 — Thu, 09 May 2013 23:47:06 GMT

39.6% top fed rate? NO WAY really? I thought it would be 25% federal tax + if your state has state taxes

Comment #33

Party1377 — Thu, 09 May 2013 23:45:52 GMT

Is that a Audi R8? If so not THAT expensive many cars more expensive. I think 110K?

By the way that house is Mark Wahlberg house.

Nice story! is Maybelline you wife

Comment #24

Masone — Thu, 09 May 2013 18:09:24 GMT

I don't really have a dream house. I'd be completely lost telling an architect what I wanted. I'd rather just buy a big prebuilt mansion, design is not that big of a concern to me unless it's just ugly.

Comment #23

rdgrnr — Thu, 09 May 2013 17:33:27 GMT

As I was motivatin' over the hill

I saw Maybelline in a Coupe de Ville

Cadillac rollin' on the open road

Cain't nothin' outrun my V8 Ford

Cadillac doin' 'bout ninety-five

Bumper to bumper rollin' side by side

Maybelline, why can't you be true?

Oh Maybelline, why can't you be true?

You done started back doing them things you used to do

Cadillac pulled up ahead of the Ford

Ford got hot and wouldn't do no more

It done got cloudy and started to rain

Erzulieredeyes — Thu, 09 May 2013 12:58:57 GMT

@Masone You have great taste in cars but that house looks like it's a buyers remorse and a total remodel but that is your dream home not mine. If you won you'd have enough money to remodel that ugly thing! :)

One of my dream homes is $450,000 and my dream car ( Bentley Mulsanne) cost as much as my dream home. I'd be the A..HOLE.. parked in the handicapped zone just like in the pic below..lol j/k

The Pointer Sisters said it best in their song. This is how I feel about this jackpot.

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it.

I'm about to lose control and I think I like it.

I'm so excited and I just can't hide it.

And I know, I know, I know, I know, I know I want you!

Want you!

I want it so bad that I could lose control! Good Luck Everyone

2 more rollovers and there will be a new record PB jackpot breaking the 588 million record set last year. 3 rollovers and we will see the Billion Dollar Jackpot that people have wondered if it could ever get that high. Addition of California is really showing now in the rapid increases with each rollover.

$270 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot surges

Lottery Post — Thu, 09 May 2013 04:31:08 GMT

By Todd Northrop

There was no jackpot winner in the Wednesday night drawing of the multi-state Powerball game, causing the grand prize to increase to an estimated $270 million for Saturday's drawing.

Wednesday was the 11th consecutive drawing without a jackpot winner. The current jackpot run started April 3 as a $40 million jackpot.

The estimated cash value for the new jackpot is $175.8 Million. After-tax cash and annuity prize amounts are reported state-by-state on the Jackpot Analysis... [ More ]
