WM BARR . =ABSOLUTE TRASH

Some moron won $450,000,000 on the Lotto yesterday. Are you HAPPY? Can you see how sick this Lottery is?

Do you understand how sick it is to give some idiot who spent one dollar this kind of financial power?  

Doesn't there need to be a cap on this lotto thing?     Let several people win 20 million?   This is dangerous.  This is a waste of money and just so sad.

Every person that has won a prize, does not really deserve anything.  It was luck and it was fortune.  It speaks to how little this world appreciates bounty when they can just thrust that many millions upon any individual who spends $1 on a ticket?  $5?  or $10.   Whatever those tickets cost.

I say, there should be a CAP on the lotto and when it is reached, another drawing needs to be for the remainders of the pot. 

How about for every dollar you have to throw away for a ticket, you have to pay $1 for some organization to stave off world hunger?

That $450,000,000 would go very far to feed America, or South Africa, or India.   You get me?

Do you want $450,000,000 to go to your idiot next-door neighbor who "GOT LUCKY"?    I think $5,000,000 is all the happiness I can share on his behalf.  $450,000,000 is way too much for anyone who shells out a ticket for something.

    I understand that bitching about the schools getting only $889 million in my state last year is ridiculous.  I also understand that Joe the Plumber, "ignoramus" that he is, is likely to spend the bulk of his winnings into the economy.  That's a win-win-win in my book. 

    I do not feel standing up for one's beliefs is a waste of time..just complaining about it is.  And yes, I have seen grassroots campaigns bring about change.

    This from the exact same woman who only a few days ago defended her anti-Trump ranting and raving on AnswerMug as some noble political rally and social upheaval that is expected on their own to unseat him?

    Come on!

    You seem to be all giddy making some point that totally escapes me.

    Thinking that unseating Trump by posting tantrums on AnswerMug is just as fruitless as attempting to change the lottery system. One you advocate, the other you recognize as futile. Point clarified.

    It's insane. I'd give it all away---every last cent.

    I don't have enough to begin with to give it all away.  I'd keep a little to be comfortable on.  But I have no business keeping that kind of insane haul.

  • I don't play the lotto, but always felt bad for those that do. Yes, of course I would be the first to grab that winners check. At the same time, I've always figured the majority of people that are routine players, are probably the ones that can least afford it. I'm talking about the hard core players, dreaming of making it big.

    So, what has this to do with the point of this question.

    1.  It sure seems to be 100% on topic to me. It addresses the post quite directly, in fact. 

    2. Your closing punctuation should be a question mark.

  • Nothing much really ... like the people who play the lotto, really feel sorry for them, and for you. Misery makes people do strange things with their money and their mouths. All this ranting and spewing of what others do, or how the system is structured. Yet, all you can do is rant, nothing more. Some people must indeed live a miserable life.

    I get a lot of notifications in my mailbox that I have won the Irish sweepstakes or some other lottery, but I never collect the money, I am too enlightened for that :-))

    Jacob, I forgot to tell you that I'm the sole living heir of the late Nigerian disposed statesman Prince Dydnar, and the government there froze his bank account with a balance of of the equivalent to $60,395 US.  By Nigerian finance laws, I cannot access the funds alone, I would need a viable co-signer to release the account to me.  If you're willing to assist me with the 1% transaction fee, I will reimburse you five-fold, or 5% of the total.  All I will  need is some of your personal information . . .

    I've always thought it was be better to give 450 people one million dollars.  I brings the state a lot of money and many 1,000,000 dollar winners would be wonderful, much more than one person getting hundreds of millions.  That's not even fun; that sounds like a burden.

  • Had 450 chosen the winning numbers this would be the case.  However only one person chose the winning numbers, thus one winner.

    That is the obvious, but not the point.  The point is to have multiple big winners. Every time.
