Wow $975 an month!! You must be under the age of 30...They said it would be higher for young people, but cant you just opt out and get your own health coverage if you employer offers it...Im just wondering if it would be cheaper if you just got your own or would it be even higher

Welcome to Obamacare where among many absurdities, post menopausal women are required to pay for maternity care insurance. There is nothing affordable about the Affordable Care Act. (Yes, I'm very nervous about how much of an increase I'll have with my employer's insurance for 2014)

Wasn't there a movie where this young mother, barely making it, won a lottery and put the ticket in her car's glove box for safe keeping. When her car got stolen, she goes public with an appeal to the thieves... [ More ]

The problem is people who had a full time job with good pay, benefits and working conditions aren't the type of workers wanted by companies offering no benefits and part time wages.

Welcome to America! I had the same issues a few years ago. I was laid off in 09 and couldn't find work, except temp jobs that I denied because they only wanted to pay $7-8.00 an hr and my unemployment paid just as much so I just collected my unemployment for over a year and went back to school to become a nurse.

When I was laidoff in 09 nobody would hire me because I was ''too young'' or too inexperienced, tho I did the same work for three years in the manufacturing industry... When I g... [ More ]

A lot of you are saying the first thing you would do is quit your job. I totally understand. If I only had a job. 1 year and counting since I was let go from a job of 23 years. Age discrimination is REAL, even though it's not supposed to be. Can't even get a part-time job. With my resume, I'm either over qualified and my salary was so high that no one thinks I would stay at a new position. Why the hell do they care what I use to make at my previous job. I hate that question on application. Or I... [ More ]

Monk is my favorite

Those were good Monk episodes. I played the numbers for a few weeks after those episodes. I have seen all 5 of the movies in the original post.

It Could Happen To You was my favorite one. I can remember when the real story it was based on actually happened. They changed some of the facts for the movie but I really enjoyed it.

The movie with Tom Hanks son I clicked by accident and decided to keep watching. I saw Lucky and I thought it was that hbo documentary but when it started I realized

Speaking of TV shows and the lottery, we can't forget two Monk episodes:

Mr. Monk Gets Lotto Fever - rigged lotto machine

Mr. Monk and the Paperboy - Monk's neighbor wins the lottery

What about the movie Beverly Hood? It's about a poor southern black family from the south that won the lottery and moved to Beverly Hills.

Must agree with a couple previous posters, Waking Ned (Devine, here statesside) was an awesome and hilarious movie. Sometimes the accents can be a bit tough to get through, but I've owned that movie for years on DVD and pop it in every so often for some good laughs. Saw it when I was a teenager and still enjoy it over a decade later

You have good movie taste, even if I have to say so myself. Lol.

Todd's choice just did not do it for me. After the plane crashed l got lost perhaps l should have given the show more time to grow on me, but then l got into House M.D until it lost it's way.

Erzulieredeyes — Wed, 09 Oct 2013 22:53:23 GMT

I'm with you on this one!

First thing that comes to mind is quitting my job, if I ever win any large jackpot.

Second thing I'll do is opt out of Obamacare, because I just got my qoute yesterday and now I am looking at paying $975 per month!!! WTF?? I don't even have insurance now, how the heck can I afford this on a Nurse's income? That is more than my **** mortgage car payment.

I was hoping All About the Benjamin's would've made the list but it wasn't about Lottery. It just had a lottery win in it.

I haven't seen all six of these movies, but Ned Devine is my favorite of those I have seen. I found several places to watch it online and think I'll do just that in a day or two. (because I don't remember much except f/ the basic plot and the accents) I watched a LOT of movies around that time I saw it; I had gone back to school and didn't have a lot of money in my budget for entertainment. Thanks to several video store gift certificates I got for that Christmas, I had some cheap entertainment b... [ More ]

29th Street should have been listed .

Actually, my favorite movie that includes a lottery win is not a movie at all it's a TV show: LOST. Go Hurley

Accents aside- Waking Ned Devine is hands down the winner here. For one Everyone who knew Ned got a piece of the pie, even the Priest.

Two : That Old woman in the motorized wheelchair who wanted to turn Jackie company in so that she could be the sole winner of the reward and thus denying the Townsfolk of the win, her demise was classic, along with the guitar string hanging in there until it snapped right on cue....Precious

I saw Waking Ned (Waking Ned Devine here in the U.S.) quite a few years ago and really enjoyed it, but had to turn on the caption feature to understand the Irish accents.

5 greatest movies featuring a lottery win

Lottery Post — Wed, 09 Oct 2013 18:15:51 GMT

Be honest: every time you play the lottery, the same fantasy runs through your head, of you sitting in a bath full of champagne, wearing a top hat and monocle, and throwing wads of cash into the air gleefully. Before you've even left the shop, you've spent half the money that you're almost definitely destined to win, no matter what the actual odds.

Feeding this fantasy is the many, many movies that have involved lottery wins, and the results for the winners. They are invariably everyman chara... [ More ]
