Your loved ones have already purchased a hundred tickets for this game as your holiday gift, ho ho ho!

Zeta Reticuli Star System United States Member #30469 January 17, 2006 11537 Posts Offline | I don't se any problem with it, but of course somebody would claim to be offended by you stating you believe in
Santa. Those who run the lotteries love it when players look for consistency in something that's designed not to have any. So many systems, so many theories, so few jackpot winners. 
There is one and only one 'proven' system, and that is to book the action. No matter the game, let the players pick their own losers. | | |

BobP NOT ON HOLIDAYS We All NEED THE JOY OF MAGIC EVERY DAY ! L@@K every day, you have to wade through a relentless surge of soul-less facts.The experience tends to shut down your sense of wonder. Sadly, we are rapidly experiencing the death of imagination = I Imagine Time, Magic, Spirit and Laughter -  Open our eyes to 👀 all he magic that surrounds you will simply astound you - not bound by time or space only limited by our own imagination. Creativity can solve almost any problem

MD United States Member #1701 June 18, 2003 9722 Posts Offline | Saw this on the internet ATTENTION TO ALL PARENTS WHO NEED TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT SANTA 🎅
Son: "Dad, I think I'm old enough now. Is there a Santa Claus?."
Dad: "Ok, I agree that your old enough. But before I tell you, I have a question for you. You see, the “truth” is a dangerous gift. Once you know something, you can't unknow it. Once you know the truth about Santa Claus, you will never again understand and relate to him as you do now. So my question is: Are you sure you want to know?"
Brief pause...
Son: "Yes, I want to know"
Dad: "Ok, I'll tell you: Yes there is a Santa Claus"
Son: "Really?"
Dad: Yes, really, but he's not an old man with a beard in a red suit. That's just what we tell kids. You see, kids are too young to understand the true nature of Santa Claus, so we explain it to them in a way that they can understand. The truth about Santa Claus is that he's not a person at all; he's an idea. Think of all those presents Santa gave you over the years. I actually bought those myself. I watched you open them. And did it bother me that you didn't thank me? Of course not! In fact it gave me great pleasure. You see, Santa Claus is THE IDEA OF GIVING FOR THE SAKE OF GIVING, without thought of thanks or acknowledgement.
When I saw that woman collapse on the subway last week and called for help, I knew that she'd never know that it was me that summoned the ambulance. I was being Santa Claus when I did that."
Son: "Oh."
Dad: "So now that you know, you're part of it. You have to be Santa Claus too now. That means you can never tell a young kid the secret, and you have to help us select Santa presents for them, and most important, you have to look for opportunities to help people. Got it?" Big John says. You don't hit the number. The number hits you!!!! I'm not Big John, I'm Four4me, Big John's a friend. | | |
