Ok fine Floyd, let's say Obama's black race is always going to be an issue.

Solution: No more black democrat presidents!!!

That will solve the race issue.

How about the government deport all the blacks and no one will ever have racial issues in America again.

Imagine that, no more so called job discrimination. No more so called housing discrimination. No more so called income inequality.

If not, America will always be saddle with the cancer of people who claim they're not getting... [ More ]

I am still waiting for someone to man-up and define which side of Obama that someone is racist towards. His Caucasian side or his A.A. side ???

Guess that won't be you either....

So you're saying is that if you see a picture of kool aid it reminds you of Obama?

That in my mind would be a strange thought.

Most people that see a picture of kool aid would most likely equate that as a thirst quencher but apparently someone like yourself would seek an opportunity to call that racist.

KY Floyd — Fri, 28 Feb 2014 19:47:37 GMT

Like when somebody posts a picture thas asks if you'd like kool aid, and a lot of people are still stupid enough to say that Obama's race isn't an issue? Is that the kind of blinders you're speaking of

You crawled out of your little hole just to say that?

You need to be a little more creative than that.

Better hurry back before someone else claims your crib.

mocking his African name is racist

FYI, using the term Odumdumcare is NOT racist, it is a slamming type of colloquialism on the term Obamacare. Obamacare is also colloquialism for its true name...The Affordable Care Act.

I am wondering if this is the KKK website?

This is far from a site involving the kkk ?..PLEASE....There are an overabundance of intelligent taxpayers on this site. While many are assertive in their beliefs based on facts, some do make statements based on per... [ More ]

I am wondering if you're the biggest schmuck we've ever had here.

Or is schmuck a racist word?

You sniveling lib whiners think everybody is gonna run and hide when you come here and scream racist everytime somebody disagrees with you.

Well, it ain't happenin' here, schmuckface.

So get over it.

You need to quit lying like Harry Reid. I never mentioned the president being a terrorist or mocked his name. You far left bigots just love to make up BS in order to push your propaganda.

I highly doubt you are a conservative or even a human being. Cretin comes to mind on vermins like you.

BTW, I highly doubt BukeyeStateLuck is a conservative. Everything he spouts is liberal propaganda BS.

Thank you Jillian. I try not to voice my political opinions on lotterypost but bukeye made me upset and frustrated.

Anyway, I hope you are doing fabulous down in sunny Florida!! We're supposed to get more snow on Sun and Mon here in NJ.

Come on MM!! I want to move to a golf and tennis community down in beautiful Florida!!!

Be well dear.

I would absolutely keep working! 1,000.00 a week in Boston is nothing. It would help out alot but it's no where near enough to retire in Massachusetts. Now, the lucky for life(1,000.00 a day for life, with 20 year minimum) is a different story.

Hi Golfer!

It's pretty obvious that some folks have permanent blinders and can't be helped.

Jill34786 — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 15:21:44 GMT

After reading the majority of the other posts it is apparent that YOU were the culprit who interjected race and bigotry in a sad attempt at promoting your agenda.

We don't need your venom here so do us all a favor and go cuddle with all your liberal, race baiting friends...if you even have any.

golfer1960 — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 05:43:26 GMT

Which one of the lies that he has been caught in have to do with him being black?

We don't dislike him because he's black, we dislike him because he's a socialist diguised as a Democrat and he is wrong for America. He coddles Iran and the terrorist, hates Israel, dispises the foundations this country was founded on, tramples on the constitution, wants to tax the rich to give to the poor (wealth redistribution), and lies to the American people just to get re-elected. I could go on and on.

He didn't have to go that far to claim the winnings. He is from Salem. Thought he lived in the infamous North East.

Some people love to play the race card all the time and of course in a very clever and crafty way. If you point out that they are being racist then then suddenly it s all about exercising their freedom and political rights. Yes thats fine you can say whatever you want and then call it... well... how about its all about opposing policies....

With the race card already. Learn to think for yourself, maybe you'll win some money. Congrats to Shamus. Obama sucks.

BukeyeStateLuck — Thu, 27 Feb 2014 01:57:50 GMT

You are calling your president a terrorist...I bet you wouldnt be calling him names if he were white.....Disagreeing is fine....Calling him a terrorist and mocking his African name is racist.

I am not a racist and i dont define my race as white, black or green.. I am a human being. And by the way i am conservative...and my being conservative doesnt make me hate any body.Being conservative isnt synonymous with hate. I dont have any issues with any body....But there is clear race bias... [ More ]

Congratulations to the winner,Shamus Harmon. $666.00 per week is great but he is wise to keep working, and pay down his mortgage.

Drenick1 — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 20:09:22 GMT

It's funny how the public in general believe winning a lottery is sufficient to retire. A major source of this perception has to do with the media and this story is a prime example.The initial headline doesn't disclose anything about how much the winner won...just that he or she won and won't retire.

I find it as bad as referring to Richard Lustig as winning seven lottery jackpots or that anyone who wins a one million dollar annuity or prize is an instant millionaire . They conveniently leave... [ More ]

TNPATL — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 15:39:48 GMT

He's smart. Pay off mortgage, invest some, and splurge here an there. Wise choice. That's what I would do if I won a lottery that while nice to have the extra money, would not be enough to say I quit my job over. Plus he must really like his job. Nothing wrong with that.

LOL. Good point CDanaT.

Pia, I'm pretty tired of the racist accusations every day myself. But, we all knew it was coming the first time he was elected .

Pia...just a fleeting thought...I wonder, which half is he racist against ???...

Excellent win Shamus, congrats and enjoy that lil nest egg for many years to come

Comment #17

schmuckatelly — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 14:11:28 GMT

He will receive weekly installments of $1,000 minus taxes for the rest of his life. That's about $666 per week.

In this case, I wouldnt mind Uncle Sam taking another dollar to make it $665

Comment #16

Piaceri — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 13:59:13 GMT

Well, there ya go again. Throwing that 'racist' accusation again. Ever heard of the boy who cried 'wolf'? Disagreeing with the President or mocking him and/or his policies is not 'racist'. Get over it.

Congrats to the winner. He will soon learn $1k per week before taxes is not retirement at his age. That $1k per week will be worth less than half that in about 30 years.

Congrats Shamus, that's not enough to retire on, hope you pay off your home and put some away for your old age.

Or one of the smartest.

Maybe he's just not a moron. He'd have to be exceptionally stupid to think that a pre-tax income of $52k is really enough to retire on at 34 years old.

I don't play win for life because the prize is too small for my taste. I like the big jackpots of mega millions and powerball even though I have not won them yet. But maybe some day I will.-weshar75

golfer1960 — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 04:04:19 GMT

If you think the president is a dumb dumb, that means you're a racist?

Only people on the left who agree with Obama's social revenge, muslim terrorist sympathizer, and socialist feelings think that he's a genius.

He's not a dumb dumb, all the people who voted for him are dumb dumbs.

an additional 2,664 a month will come in handy, just spend wisely and don't make any new friends.

hearsetrax — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 01:25:31 GMT

well I hope he manages his money well enough to enjoy it for the rest of his years

but roughly $666 a week after he pays of his mortgage and etc etc

I reckon he can't get into too much trouble with that amount

Comment #5

BukeyeStateLuck — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 01:11:27 GMT

Is prolly an English word? And only a racist would use Odumdumcare for the president

Comment #4

inittowin — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 00:38:06 GMT

It's prolly a good idea that he still wants to work. Winning that much money will allow him to at least pay for his health insurance in a couple of years with Odumdumcare! By then, it ought to be at least $1500 to $2000 a month for someone his age...

Jon D — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 00:27:02 GMT

Since this is a *true* For Life prize, not one of those 20yr or 25yr pseudo-4-life games, and he's still young at 34, he can get a nice haul, a few million over the decades

Oregon Lottery winner won't retire

Lottery Post — Wed, 26 Feb 2014 00:00:15 GMT

You've just won the Oregon Lottery Win for Life game, so how do you celebrate?

By dining at Marco Polo Global Restaurant, of course.

That's what Shamus Harmon did last week after claiming his Win for Life prize at Oregon Lottery headquarters.

I am one of the most boring lotto winners, I'm sure, he said.

Or one of the smartest.

Harmon, a 34-year-old safety trainer who lives in Salem, said his first plan for the windfall is to pay off his mortgage within five years.

He will rece... [ More ]
