Impresive...the line at the lottery machine at the store

First time I have to go around people. And it wasn't just one, two bucks either...dreams. One person had three hundred from her savings.

People are truly going to spend money they don't have. As is, miscomunication, we bought five more than intended. So we got ten. Our ods, for those who really don't get it, improved none whatsoever.

Good luck... But I was impressed by that.

7. Well if I won, and yes I have been hit by lightning

I would use some of the proceeds to help those in my community, yup in my case homeless vets.

I guess to each own. At this ammount, Monday call lawyer and financial advisor

21. I had that talk with my mom one day

Priority one, fund college for all nieces and nephews, trusts...

Priority two, invest so it grows.

Priority three, a foundation to help those who need it.

I would also buy an ICU rig fr the Red Cross, fully equipped. Maybe put a few medics through paramedic training in oh Seattle.

And yes enjoy life...

Before any of that of course, I need to be hit by lightning again, wait, those odds are better.

23. Really? You've been hit by lightning?

Well, that goes a long way towards explaining some things...

19. I can deal with that too! in reference to a primitive comment not brought over

Honestly this is a pitiful argument really.

If you made the, getting hit by lightning s far more likely you would have a far more likely scenario.

For the record, I have been hit by lightning while in my car.

14. Back in the early 90s, Powerball was sitting at almost 120 million.

I had a few bucks to burn so I ended up buying a total of about 70 tickets.

When the dust cleared I made $3 back.

Since then I bought two scratch-offs in Arizona nearly 10 years ago when I traveled to Tempe to meet my wife-to-be for the first time. Nothing there either.

**** that noise.

22. That's because of the odds.

The Mexican lottery has better odds.

It's also the oldest lottery in the new world, no serious. It's mandate is also different...

25. Wrong. Again.

"Amazingly, the Netherlands Lottery, which was founded in 1726, is still in operation today. It is officially the oldest lottery in the world."

37. new enough for ya?

"An English lottery, authorized by King James I in 1612, granted the Virginia Company of London the right to raise money to help establish settlers in the first permanent English colony at Jamestown, Virginia.

Lotteries in colonial America played a significant part in the financing of both private and public ventures. It has been recorded that more than 200 lotteries were sanctioned between 1744 and 1776, and played a major role in financing roads, libraries, churches, colleges, canals, bridges, etc. In the 1740s, the foundation of Princeton and Columbia Universities was financed by lotteries, as was the University of Pennsylvania by the Academy Lottery in 1755.

During the French and Indian Wars, several colonies used lotteries to help finance fortifications and their local militia. In May 1758, the State of Massachusetts raised money with a lottery for the "Expedition against Canada."

"The history of the Mexican Lottery stretches all the way back to the 18th Century, with the Royal General Lottery of New Spain."

28. I hope you win. I will miss you on DU.

BTW. Have you priced the spaceship you would need to get away from the sum of the earth that shows up at your door. If you do win, don't run to the lottery office to turn in the ticket, quitely put the ticket into a safety deposit box and find reliable legal and financial advisers. Try to set the proceeds up in a Trust.

nadinbrzezinski (103,163 posts) Profile Journal Send DU Mail Ignore

31. Well if we win, calling the lawyer and financial adviser

On Monday. The ticket goes to the lottery office at the same time.

There are several things that need to be done in tandem. Fortunately, due to parents, we have both in contact lists.

Now why would I disapear from DU?

Indeed, it does.

I feel sorry for the lightening.

If I win, I will offer Nadin a scholarship to Hillsdale, if they will take her.

[Freeper]

Geez you would think the DUmmies would just donate all the money, if they won, to the poor.

If I win, I will buy her an island she can go live on by herself.  That way there will be nobody around to disagree with her.

As long as she doesn't venture out too far on one end, she should be okay.  Wouldn't want the island tipping over on her.

For some reason, this visual disturbs me.  Greatly.

I should get off my ass.....

I dunno why, but it does.

Does anyone know anything they bring up over there that NadaBraininsky hasn't done?

Tom the TiTboy has a new handle, huh?

I can't believe someone could be so conceited as to say they've been hit by lightning! If Nada isn't the center of attention she'll say she was the first human to walk on Jupiter! I'll bet she can dog paddle in ammonia gas!

I sure miss TomTiTboy! he was much more entertaining, and I can't remember a soul disagreeing with him and his tall tales.

Nada is just too full of shit to be taken seriously! And that's sayin' somethin' since TommyBoy was the most decorated Navy boy in Nam, guarded nuclear weapons, shoved a shotgun in the face of some dignitary of the gubmint, (Can't remember which one), had the Police Chief of WhereInThe**** lettin' him slide havin' an automatic weapon even though he was a felon after bein' in prison for sellin' weed, and ran an upscale Art gallery!

I does kind of bring up a nasty mental image that involves sweaty skin stuck to a vinyl chair, it's enough to make me shutter (that's a nadinism).

It's definitely vinyl, because if it was cloth, her skin would have already grown into the fabric.

In all fairness to nads, I have actually met a woman who had taken a direct lightning strike and lived.  

When I was 17, I did a 32 day National Outdoor Leadership (NOLS) course in the Wind River Range of WY.  My instructor was a woman named Kerry, she had been a NOLS instructor for four years when I came through.  

In her first year, her and her group got caught in a lightning storm at high altitude and she took a direct hit.  She was evacuated and managed to recover, and continue to teach.  When I met her, she had a burn scar around her neck from a melted necklace and her left toe was blown off as the lightning exited her body.  I remember that I had such a huge crush on her.  She was a tough, beautiful lady.

nadin would try to upstage Christ on Calvary.

Or, given her background, the Burning Bush speaking to Moses.

No, no, I was actually thinking of a more-disturbing sight.

Because I can't hear, I'm always inadvertently walking in on things.

Even though there's locks on bathroom doors, some people refuse to use them.

Brrrrrr......

Actually nada the statician, going from $5 to $10 has doubled your ods. Of course, those ods went to no way in hell from no f*cking way in hell but they did double your chances.

If you flip a coin 100 times and 67 heads came up, what are the ods the next flip will be a tail?

nadin reminds me of Linda Moulton Howe, this woman that calls into Coast to Coast AM with these crazy-assed predictions that are usually wrong.  When her predictions don't happen, she disappears for a while before being invited back on the show to hand out more wacky, impossibly inaccurate predictions while acting like she was never on the show before.

Well, of course that's true, and I've been hoping one of the DUmpmonkeys would challenge her on it, setting off a classic brawl.

But no one has.

DUmmies, in addition to lying all the time, do not do math.

That's why Diebold can get away with manipulating election results in whatever way the boys in North Canton feel appropriate, after consultation with Lord Rove.

Only one DUmmy ever caught on, and he got tombstoned.

Can you imagine the entertainment value of a violent disagreement between nutcase nadin and DUmmy TruthIsAll?
