$500 MILLION: Mega Millions sets all-time lottery jackpot recordReply
I have plenty of money, and I do what I love for a living, and have for the last 25 years. You have no clue who I am. Sometimes brutal honesty hurts but I don't sugarcoat the truth. I am not the one posting in desperation of a jackpot like you and others are, and I am not overly-excited because I am not delusional. If I win it great, if not so what. I am simply trying to cushion the fall of those gullible enough to buy into the hype. Odds are the fall is going to be long. You know nothing about

$363 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot raised due to heavy salesReply
Like I said I won't need any extra returns. I don't need to live a super high-end lifestyle, although I would be anyway with that much money even after the FIRST year's payment. I have no need for even more money, taxes, and risky investments. Plus I would continue to work because I am an artist who does what he loves. This money would just allow me to do it or anything else whenever I chose to, as opposed to having to do it to survive. It would buy me all the financial security that I needed. I

$356 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot nears recordReply
I would be more than happy to share...as long as you hold the other winning ticket! I knew I could count on a response from you Rdgrnr, but I was actually referring to lucky MO $258M PB jackpot winner Chris Shaw who showed off his toothless grin when he won. Instead, I will be showing off all of my pearly whites! I still haven't purchased my all in tickets...still got $98 to go. The QPs will be easy, but I am just trying to get the vibes on my own picks. If I don't feel anything too strong,

Ohio lottery ticket wins $261.6M Powerball jackpotReply
I hope this jackpot will enrich many lives. That said, I live in SW Ohio. I am happy it was Ohio. We need the money. People tell me it is stupid to play the lottery but you have to have one ticket to win. I wish I had won a big jackpot when my brother and mother needed a bone marrow transplant and liver transplant at the same time. I didn't have enough money for the transplants and I lost them both. I went bankrupt paying medical bills. I have type 1 diabetes, MS, hepatitis B and a few other pro

Winning Powerball lottery ticket expiring soonReply
I believe this For99c. I see the clerks handle the machine when it jams up and I don't think they cancel all those tickets, they don't seem to like doing the job at the lottery machine in the first place. I don't go to stores like that anymore, I go to one place to play where they LIKE me, call me by name, take my numbers seriously, gives me my tickets the exact way I have them, sneak in a winner every once in a while for me by doubling my wager on a number, and give me freebies like tickets an

N.D. Lottery wrestles with credit card buying optionsReply
LuckyLilly writes: I just wanted to make the point that just because someone chooses to charge an item on their credit card doesn't mean they're running up debt. I totally agree, Lilly. I think you misunderstood me. I wrote that comment tongue-in-cheek in response to Mr. Brooks in the article. I was really saying that I don't like people telling me what I can or cannot do with my money, credit card, body... Yes, there are many people who need guidance and protection from their own bad habi

Lottery winner goes from rags to riches to ragsReply
I agree with the remark about the financial advisor, but it's possible that Mr. Edwards insisted on taking out the loan. I don't trust all financial advisors, but I also know from experience that you can't stop someone from being irresponsible. When I sold cars or furniture, people who didn't have a pot to pee in would want to finance all sorts of luxuries. I learned the hard way that trying to help people will make you poor. Once a couple drove into the dealership with a car that had only 3

Mega Millions jackpot increased to $265 millionReply
Uff Da...you are generous in spirit and forgiving. Before I sit on my soap box is it better to have a chef or own a restaurant or two or three? Now back to Uff Da .... you have a smaller family then mine. although i have one brother(whom i would share) there are 11 aunts& uncles, 30 first cousins and 39 little cousins I can account for(i just calculated it on on 8x11 sheet of paper, although I do not know all their names i know how many kids each cousin has withing a marriage, i am not accou

Powerball lottery winners talk about hitting the jackpotReply
I know I shouldn't write this, because most people think I'm fooling myself, but I honestly wouldn't want to have an extravagant lifestyle, so I understand their attitude. Maybe a lot of this comes from personal experience, but I had a little money (not millions of course!!) and then got sick and ran into other problems, and realize that the most important things in life are health, happiness and being around people who love you. That being said, anyone who says money isn't important and doesn'
