I try to eat what is on sale. Today, I found avocado for fifty cents. Lucky Store has decided to open a grocery store in a bad neighborhood. They are discounting certain items to get people to go there. To save a few cents, I was willing to risk my car being broken into, getting shot while driving through the neighborhood, and potentially catching a disease if I accidentally pick up a prostitute and share a needle with her. What could go wrong? I love avocados. I even grow avocado trees in the yard.

How do you accidentally pick up a prostitute?

It happens. That's what Eddy Murphy said. He was driving around. He thought that a man dressed as a woman, standing around on a street corner, could have been in distress. He likes to help people. " Are you lost? Do you need anything? Get in the car. Where are you going? Let me drive you. " Not that it ever happened to me. I can see how innocent misperception could happen. I am not a wealthy entertainer. I lack the resources to aid everyone less fortunate. If I win $1.2 Billion from the lottery, I'll be more cautious about boys wearing girl's clothes.

Never heard that Eddie Murphy likes to help people. That is cool though.

Good News! Nobody won (as if 1 chance in 292 million).... It's now up to an estimated $1.5 billion. To put that in perspective it's $1,500,000,000.00. That would allow you to spend $5 million per year for 300 years. (or $300 million per year for 5 years (sounds more fun (or work)).

I would be forced to take a 1 time payout. I probably won't live 30 years to collect the annuity. After the taxes, there's not much left. Maybe a measly couple of hundred million. Not enough for cocaine and hookers.



The world is a sad place when winning the lottery is not a good thing. But the news is cheering me up.


Underwear. 3 way sex. Violence. And a Canadian, who came into the U.S.A. from Mexico.

Once deported, he will return and try to kill Nancy in DC instead of her home.

This guy crossed the border as a temporary visitor in 2008. He never left the country. I've been warning everyone, for years, that Canadians were coming into this country illegally, stealing our jobs, sending our stronger US Dollars back to Canada, and weakening our economy.

This guy must be a covert military asset of the Canadian government. An attack on an elected official, in the line of succession to POTUS. This is an act of war. An outrage. We need to launch a drone attack against Trudeau. Get him while he's eating poutine.

$1.5 billion? Maybe I should buy a ticket........ I would have enough money to fill up my diesel truck, buy a piece of chicken and money left over for a beer.

Go ahead and splurge. You only live once. Get a whole bucket of chicken, and a 6 pack.

If I win that kind of money, I can devote my time to starting a nonprofit. Something I've had in the back of my mind for a long time. Not having to work for a living would allow me to devote my time towards being a productive member of society. Instead of just another schmuck who punches a time clock, and hopes that there is overtime at the end of the shift.

That is a lot of money. Even if the government let you keep half it would be a lot of money. I would not even know what to do with it. I mean yeah, buy a house somewhere secluded, and maybe a Hellcat Challenger, but after that? Maybe buy a warehouse to store my auto collection in. Don't have one now, but with that kind of money I would start one.

You could take the whole thing over 30 years. Or take a little over $750,000,000. Taxes will be around $300,000,000. $450,000,000 left for you, from a 1,600,000,000 win of a lifetime. You only get less than 1/3 of the advertised $1.6 Billion. Hardly worth it. You are better off not even playing. It will only increase your tax bracket. What are you going to write off? Legally, you can write off gambling loss up to the amount of winnings. Do you think that The IRS will believe that you bought 800 million tickets at $2 per ticket? You don't need the headache and liabilities.
