Yeah, I'd probably duke 'em all a grand.

I got a lotta respect for working people and everybody could use a helping hand once in a while.

They'd appreciate it and it would make me feel good too so it'd be a win-win situation.

I agree, I get other things at the gas station and I am always treated well.

I didn't take it his statements expressed entitlement , more of just wishful thinking. Al may very well be the owner (my guess) and may be from a different country which could explain his wording . Considering the source....sometimes things get slanted in the process.

Nothing wrong with NY Post as a source. It broke the Hunter laptop story, which turned out to be real. Sure, they cover a lot of pointless celebrity crapola, but even CNN reports on Kim Kardashian doing this that and the other thing.

I used to buy The NY Post a lot when I lived in upstate New York.

As far as a source for pro sports reporting goes, The Post has some of the best sports reporters that can be found anywhere. I should add that I didn't pay as much attention to other content they published. But that's only because I wanted to get to my copy of The Wall Street Journal. G5

This poll is inspired by this article https://nypost.com/2022/07/31/nyc-deli-that-sold-1m-lotto-ticket-hopes-winner-shares-wealth/

To paraphrase:

Workers at the Bronx deli that sold a $1 million Mega Millions ticket hope the local winner returns to share his pot since their shop doesn’t get any sale bonus for non-jackpot prizes. A worker at the deli said that a previous customer who won $1 million in Powerball in 2017 came back and "blessed" random customers by giving them large cash gifts. That winner supposedly spend around $50,000 giving out money to people in the deli.

If you were the winner of the $1M prize, would you go to the deli and "bless" the workers and customers there since the shop does not get a sales bonus?

I thought the majority of LP posters were in favor of anonymity and I'm pretty sure if the winner gave the store $50,000, lots of people will know his identity.

As for "since the shop does not get a bonus", shouldn't that include every player that wins anything?

Nope. Was thinking how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, things to do with Wendy's Ghost Pepper Ranch Sauce, and who decided you need two chopsticks.

Climate change is keeping me from winning the 4/35. So I need to write a program to determine how climate change affects the lottery balls to thwart that.

Sticking your fingers in everything is the reason you don't get invited to dinner parties.
I know your mom tried. She asked you a thousand times, "Do you know where that finger has been?" before listing the dreadful things you'd done with it.

Rule #1: It is math-a-matistically impossible for 35 bonus balls to be drawn in 15 draws.
Who didn't know this?

*Applying math-a-matistics to real life drawings, we know that it takes an average of 142 draws for every bonus ball to hit as least once, with the low being 83 and the high at 271 draws.

But let's not get sidetracked with small details. For the test purposes we only need to know if it hit, not how many times.

*You should read a probability book!

Glad to hear it.
Respect Joe's wishes.
