Thanks for the info. You do know why the powerball odds are definitive and the clearing house is an estimate right?

Sorry man, it wasn't real. All in your head.

Some obscure hardly known company not even my parents remember was his company of employment American Family Publishers ..

And CNN, Golden Girls, Roseanne, Chevy Chase movie, all are as wrong as we are.

Even David Letterman show.

Do you even Star Search, bro? That was bigger for Ed than anything else. He was a legend.



Being second-fiddle on the tonight show, scooting further down the couch as each new guest arrived, was still bigger than Star Search.

Sadly, there probably would've been so many more winners if only people had placed the stamps on the entry ticket correctly.

What a great scam - spam mail magazine ads to people, a portion signs up thinking it helps their chance of winning, Publishers Clearing makes hundreds of millions and only pays out a small annuity each year.
