Thank you Dog, Happy New Year!!! I didn't realize you lived in Long Branch during your military stint at Fort Monmouth. Yeah, when they closed the army base it took a lot of commerce out of my city of Eatontown. We still have the Monmouth Mall however.

The Borgota in Atlantic City in beautiful. I've never stayed overnight there but the casino is nice. I've never walked out of there a winner though.

golfer1960...Happy New Year. Couldn't think of your 'handle' to send you a Happy New Year's wish.

We had a blast @ Borgata over New Years. Played your Cash 4 Life and MM while there, so far $10 won.

You're right Meatman, there is a Little Silver train station that runs to NYC. I live in Eatontown but worked in Little Silver for years.

noise-gate, You caught me! I could use a couple of hundred grand.

My picture may be posted on their website. If I ask politely it may not be.

Good Luck with Power Ball tonight, $42.8 million after taxes. Now, this is the serious money we all talk about. Of course, all of my income for 2019 will increase my taxes as a whole. To be paid by April 15, 2020

The White Beaches await you and can you hear the siren song calling you noise-gate

The ticket is worth Only $300K. Nice knowing your present checking or savings account exceeds that amount music..lol.

*On a side note, that is some serious walking around money. As someone once said l could always use another hundred grand.

NO, I did not win the 2nd level prize in MM. The ticket is worth only $312,703.00 before taxes. That is Fed taxes only. CA does not tax lottery products. East Kings Canyon Blvd is a six-lane road. It leads to the National Park of Kings Canyon.

When I do win big I will be silent for a period of time.

Thanks TheMeanman2005. Clicked on your link and there it was. I used to live in Long Branch, NJ when stationed @ Ft. Monmouth. Three block walk to the ocean! Thanks to BRAC which I never personally agreed with, that post closed. Most military bases in the Northeast closed. Same for the hospital in Nuernberg where I was stationed, it closed too.

Congratulations to Ms. Spagnola! I hope she still has some left since claiming on April 21,2018

Lottery officials often wait weeks or months to announce prize winners This should give some hope to the winners in the States that do not grant anonymity. Ask to be treated the same way.

Best gift of all, sharing it with APPRECIATIVE loved ones. Congratulations.

Little Silver rings a bell for me, will have to get Atlas out. Reminds me of a train stop I'd take from Ft. Monmouth area to NYC...help me out NJ LP members.

A New Jersey woman who received scratch-off lottery tickets as a gift from her father won big when one turned out to be worth $2 million.
