$350 MILLION: Powerball lottery jackpot soarsReply
No. I meant $350 - $500 JP, not the payout. I'm aware that after the total 39.6% federal tax and 5, 6, 7% state tax, $350 would really be $120 or so, give or take. Even on a billion dollar JP, you'd only end up (*laughs* ONLY) end up with maybe $350 after the cash payout and taxes. But Joe Schmoe won't look at you as a multimillionaire. He'd look at you as a billionaire, and that change from an m to a b will make people do crazy things. Do you know how many comments I've read on news article

Irish $16M lottery winner still claiming over $6,000 a year in benefitsReply
I don't care what the socialists in Europe do but I would compare it to Social Security here. I'm retired with an income and when I'm old enough to get Social Security I'm dam well gonna take it cuz I paid into it all of my working life and I'm not gonna let the government piss it away on studies to determine the impact of men washing their genitals in Africa. I couldn't care less if they do or don't. And if some lib perverts wanna go over there and watch them wash their genitals, let them pa

Virginia woman dreams of Obama, wins lotteryReply
The same America-hating, left-wing looney-toons were around spewing their hatred for this country long before the internet was around too, janet. And the next time you accuse someone of having limited intelligence, learn how to spell the word first. Makes you look kind of dumb. And if you're so concerned about slavery, why don't you do something about it? It's still in practice in Africa. Go save them. Or do you just prefer to stay here, whining and complaining in comfort?

Atheist converts after mock prayer to win $1M lottery is answeredReply
Hey guys. I have a question for the Christians, but first allow me to divulge in my background for the sake of context. I used to be an active member in my Presbyterian community, attending church retreats twice a year without fail, going on mission trips out of the country to spread the gospel, but have since seen the evils in this world that really made me doubt there is a God out there protecting the innocent. I am now an agnostic, and I must say I find myself depressed more than I should be,

S.C. man facing foreclosure wins lotteryReply
I believe I have proven my point. Religious people are squarely focused on the money in one's pocket, wallet, purse, bank account. I always believe that I can make more money than what I currently have in my possession (faith). So I think I am the mature one if I should have the faith to spend my last dollars or even charge it on a credit card to believe that I will be blessed with the ability to earn more money to pay all of my obligations. BTW, I never been late paying any of my obligations si

$116M Georgia Powerball winner claims prizeReply
Louise, believe me, if there was any racism displayed by Tea Party Members, the President's Cheerleaders (the news media) would have been all over it. I am in the Tea Party Louise and I swear to you there is no racism. I have never seen the monkey/Africa thing you speak of and I can assure you that it would not be allowed by the Tea Party members. I did see George Bush depicted as a monkey and with a Hitler mustache on the internet for years though. Everyone seemed to think that was funny. Th

"I don't think so," Dubeau replied when asked if he would give them money. "I have no idea. I don't think so. In the short term, I don't think so. I am the only winner."

British Columbia Lottery taking bets on US electionReply
P.S. Maybe the worst thing is that they want to convert the working class to their worthless ways. My question is, if we all converted, then who would feed us. Maybe Africa, or Iran would send billions of aid to rescue and feed us. Not all democrats fall into the category and I don't have to call any names. Just watch the wondering mindless masses walking around on the news. If any democrats feel like joining them then, well they are what they are. We allowed Obama to try and solv
