May the road rise to meet you,

may the wind be ever at your back.

May the sun shine warm upon your face,

and the rains fall soft upon your fields.

And until we meet again,

may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

No disrespect here Dannyct- but California is the most populous State in America. One can purchase lottery tickets just about anywhere out here. Pharmacies, grocery stores, gas stations, etc,etc. You could have your head on a swivel look in almost any direction see a Play here signs. I mean everywhere! Perhaps the subscription theme you guys push works down under, given that your population sticks mostly to your coastline, but California is covered, bigtime. This State is revenue driven, if they...

You remind me of another member from down under by the name of myturn who everytime he posted it was about subscriptions.

The California Lottery should start a subscription service, it would raise additional revenue for the state.

Not exactly Music. We have both always wanted to visit the Seychelles, it's the subtle hints l would be throwing along the way. Like ordering a $500.00 bottle of champagne, first visiting Zanzibar * per Teddy's advice, then heading onto the Seychelles. Doubling down on the entertainment. At some point, she would ask.After all, l didn't marry an idiot.

noise-gate, You have your beautiful wife on a flight for a dozen hours and she waits until the two of you are on the beach before asking the question

l'm from California too- but l am telling no one Music. I want to be in the Seychelles, in a hammock for two, with my ravishing, gorgeous wife. While l'm trying to get my straw to work on this mimosa l can picture her turning to me and asking Honey, what's going on? Then, and only then will l let her know. Perfect timing wouldn't you say?

* I'll tell you what, that vacation kicks into another gear altogether.

. I will notify two family members by email the first night then a phone call the next morning. I will notify the rest the day before I claim on the next business day.

My adrenaline will keep me awake that first night. Maybe for a lot of nights? Who knows. I guess that the size of the jackpot and the number of other winners come into play.

I have a written plan which I update and change as needed.

I am slowly recovering from not winning MM nor PB. Oh Well here comes another chance.... [ More ]

Thank You, Todd, for the correction and direction of where to sail to. I googled maldives.com

$46.5 Million dollars! Tax-Free!

How about visiting the colonies? LOL! ahem, I mean the States. USA can offer great vacations.

The Maldives are islands in the Indian Ocean -- very remote islands that are supposed to be quite beautiful.

Todd, Love the look of the EuroMillions Logo Graphic.

Maldives? Isn't that off the Coast of Argentina? The British won that war. The Argentinian Generals who were in charge of the government were soon deposed peacefully. Now it is a favorite vacation spot.

More votes for Anonymity. Texas is the latest State to offer it. A winners name, photo, and video will last a lifetime. At least we have not seen many crimes related to the lottery in the recent past. The last one was in Georgia when... [ More ]

l took the liberty of looking up the Irish Mirror of Jan 2017 which had a 88 million winner from Cork MM, and noted that the store that sold the winning ticket was paid 25,000.l am guessing this store will get less than that..l think.

Congrats to the lucky winners.

The story doesn't say how much the shop that sold the winning ticket will get.

Does anyone know

Collecting their prize, the ecstatic family said that the last week has been a blur and revealed they a... [ More ]
