For anyone who cares.

Well, I have many friends in Baltimore County. We'll see tomorrow if I get to hit any of them up for a loan...

1. I hope, that whoever wins it...spends it wisely....

[Tx4obama]

2. I hope they are a Democrat and not a GOPer :) n/t

[Broken_Hero]

4. I was just hoping that whomever won, wasn't

a Lex Luthor apologist....but Goper works for me,

3. If I hit that, I'd want to stay annonymous

And get the reward in a single payment (even though it's lower).

5. Yes.

I would have had two of the numbers. I never have more than two of the numbers. Which is why I didn't buy a ticket.

I also hope the winner makes a huge donation to Planned Parenthood. For kicks.

12. yeah, i was thinking i would rather get like 10 million and remain anonymous

than win the hundred millions and be known.

6. A new one percenter is born.

7. Right...

Everyone knows that people with money are the "1%"

What an assinine response...

[Hassin Bin Sober]

11. Do you have a problem with math?

I would say winning $640 million would make you a 1%er. No?

[Earth_First]

13. Do you have a problem with semantics?

The understanding of '1%er' has changed recently...

[Kablooie]

14. Your understanding may have changed. Mine is that sudden riches make someone a member of the 1%.

And that does not necessarily imply evil.
There are many 1% ers who see the inequality and support the movement to correct it.

15. I remember Al Franken wrote on the back cover of one of his books.....

....."This book is doing so well I'm now for the flat tax!"

(tongue planted firmly in cheek of course)

[SamG]

8. Guess I'm gonna stay a poor Democrat ! n/t

[madmom]

9. I hope it is someone who truly needs it and not a horder. Aside from that, I have lots of

family that live in the area...

[Eugene]

10. There are three winning tickets.

16. I know a guy who won the lottery, $40-some million, took the cast option of $14M and changed his

phone number and moved immediately.
