I bought a Powerball ticket, first time ever.

Agreed. The last thing I would want would be for my name to be anywhere attached to it. I'm not that much concerned for myself, but no amount of money would be worth a family member (that I like) being kidnapped.

 

@Dave K : PM me your adress!!

 

@Dave K would end up in jail for killing the Slim Jim stealing cat

 

See! Win-win!

 

I really haven’t had a slim Jim since my sidekick died (and then, got me hassled by the cops as his last FU to me). They just don’t work anymore without having to do battle with a runt Maine coon.

 

Whats your price? Name change for a year.

 

Because that $150m isnt worth your time.

 

Haven’t paid attention, why am I being offered payment of spiced meat sticks?

 

Mostly to do what you might do for free.

 

I have the same mindset when it comes to our lotto. I know what a colossal waste of money and "poor tax" it is, but I still get sucked in every few months when I'm pumping gas, and that sign in the window is flashing 70million (our jackpots aren't as big as the powerball). "That's pump #6 and give me a lotto max with no encore". It's only $5, and that drive home from work is a whole lot more enjoyable thinking about the earth scorching ways I'd quit my job . OLG gets about $20-30 a year from me, and I'm ok with that. I DO know 2 people that have won 1 million though. One spent it all, and the other is doing just fine. Traded his C4 for a C7 when he won.

Which brings up another point, all these jackwagons that say "I'm just going to keep working, and live the same". Bullshiat, I'm making two phone calls. One to the lottery to make sure I actually have the winning ticket, and two, to my boss. Actually I'd probably hand deliver that news...... I wouldn't alter my lifestyle drastically, I'm a pretty simple guy, but with 70million, but you can be damn sure I'm not getting up every day and going to work for somebody else. That's a lot of money, and invested wisely would mean me and my family would be financially set for life. I'd also have no problem telling leeches where to go, and how to get there. It would actually be enjoyable to me .

 

Swear like an 87 year old Italian grandfather on Christmas? Give Sean a bunch of shit over who knows what? Rattle on like grand pa Simpson? Do shit that I and two or three others find high-larious but leaves everyone else thinking “what is that loon talking about now?”

Eh, I’ll look later. Might be something worth doing to pop myself.

 

Bump

 

Post your name and address, here, on the beeb and with your FB friends so that everyone -- friends (and friends you didn't know you had) -- can all send you 'Congratulations' cards...

 

That just seems wrong. To be okay with that.

It gets complicated when a likable family does, in fact, like the family member that you find unlikable. Especially if we're talking about 'likable' Mom. All Moms can turn up the guilt factor to eleven.

 

I'm fresh out of those.

 

Concerns or family members?
