This is one of the cool things about LP, Todd could have easily erased my mini-rant, but didn't. This is why LP continues to get my vote for the diamond web awards.In reply, the view is much different on the front lines...take a piece of paper and write down the names of as many people that you know personally, then add them up... When NAFTA first reared it's ugly head in my own life, it did not just single me out. That number from the people you know, subtract it from 6,000... that's how many p... [ More ]

Jake:I thought that all Super-7 players could choose all their numbers.Imagine if some Mega Millions states required the Mega Ball to be quick-picked...NY and TX do not allow the cash option to be selected after winning (only before).

Some jurisdictions in Canada do not allow players to select all their numbers. For example, in Ontario, you can select the first set and the second and third set are quick picks.Good luck,Jake

Colin McDonald won't have to worry about a business assignment that was due this week, or the cost of books and rising tuition fees.He won last Friday's $20 million Super 7 jackpot, and intends to indulge his love of skiing and snowboarding instead of trying to get a job in the business world - at least for now.The 28-year-old Loyalist College student, who lives in Belleville, had the sole winning ticket for the Jan. 16 Super 7 draw.
