you are very well blessed to have that little girl thank God for both good health and remember life is short,cherished the time you have.a can of pork and beans is a buffet in north korea or china.to be able to see and walk,and able to smell the roses and see all gods splendors is more peace then most rich people enjoy.teach your child all the things to be thankfull for and in your old age she will bring you more happiness then riches could ever bring.

See my signature below. Having said that, a smart thing for big lotto winners to do is donate a fair portion to various charities. Makes dealing with the dreaded tax portion a lot easier.

Welcome to the boards. Pardon some folks manners as they take the negative route in responding.

Firstly its not uncommon to be caught up in the *They are richer-so give to the lesser folks* mentality when one is going thru hard times. I applaud you for your truthful expression of frustration. Its not for us to judge your feelings . They are what they are. Ignore folks who just toss antedotes of Get a better job or deal with it mentality. As a single parent who Im sure is doing the best

What should really worry you is that their vote counts the same as yours.

I wish. Arkansas gets 6 votes in the electoral college, which is about 1 for every 450,000 residents. In NY we get about 1 vote for every 630,000 people, making his presidential vote worth about 40% more than mine. If he moves to one of the states with only 3 votes his vote could be worth about 3 votes in NY (or a handful of other states with large populations).

Yeah, help everyone and then not only have nothing left, but have huge tax debts as well. Not to mention what could happen to those that are helped at tax time as well.

As I said in previous topics, if I won the big one it would be awhile before I helped anyone and even then it'd be extremely limited. Call it greedy if you want but I call it good sense.

So where do you draw the line ?

Let's say one of us wins the PB for 15 mill - 7 mill after taxes, that will give me 4 mill to live on, 3 mill to 'give away', so why you ?

Why you and not someone else ?

Guess what - you are not alone, there are probably 25-50 MILLION people in your shoes, but at least you have a job, and you live in a climate that doesn't freeze in the winter nor does it get to 105 degrees in the summer, so kwitcherbitchin and be thankful for what you DO have.

Anybody remember the movie California Split or California Suite with Elliot Gould?

He and another friend are gamblers and hit a cold streak where they can't win a bet......then they go to the track and hit a few ponies.

When they get out to their car in the parking lot, there's a stick up man. Elliot Gould looks at his friend and says, You believe this, finally win a bet and now this. Then he looks at the guy and counts out $500 and says, Get out of here.

My observation is that its like bingo... nobody ever comments on how much you lose, but they certain take attention when you win. If they day arrives where one of us members wins something good, you'd hope you could just get the thousands of dollars you spent into winning it back. You'd be lucky to just help yourself, and if you can helps others good, but to recover the cost of what you play is luck enough.

Hey, as the commercial goes: life comes at you fast! While you're complaining, life (time) is passing you by. Sir, you willnever see this day again or this year. My motto is: you make your bed, you lie in it! [Oh, by the way, do not hold other persons (including family), accountable for the mistakes you made.]

Sure, there are the lucky (who deserve their windfalls) and the not-so-lucky. However, the lucky lottery winners we hear about...such as the rapist who won the lottery, or...the... [ More ]

I would say you have it a lot better than me. You probably have it better than a lot of other people too. Most people who are rich are rich because they took the extra steps to get there. Anybody can do it, even you can. It's really a matter of determination. Instead of complaining about not being rich, you need to become more ambitious. Maybe you can come up with an invention that you think a lot of people would like to use and patent it and then sell it. If you're a good cook, maybe you can co... [ More ]

If you're making $28K a yr living in Arkansas, you probably living as good or better than half the LP members so don't expect them to feel sorry for you or anybody else rather than spend some of their hard earned money on lottery tickets and dream about winning a jackpot. I'll never understand where idiots like you get the ideas that other people owe you something because you can't afford everything you want in life.

If you're poor, get use to living like you're poor or get a better job, t... [ More ]

To all what winners? Who?

Somoene must have started some kind of rumor that has really created misconceptions about this site-

Is it a bunch of people, a large bunch of people, trying to figure out how to win, and what they'd do if they won? Yes indeed.

Is it a group of people who have all won jackpots? Hardly.

Pretty soon we're going to need a No Solicting rule.
