Seems like California has been winning all the billion dollar jackpots. I smell some bull shite going on.


Maybe it would be a good idea for southern states to dump the lottery scheme. The biggest pile of bullshite I smell from the whole affair is that only states can run lotteries and gambling in this form. Private entities such as casinos or businesses are prohibited from creating a lottery. (Wonder why that is?)

The lottery isn’t real. It’s a CIA op to get black ops funding off the books.

Drive to the state line in any direction and buy a ticket when you cross over.

$2.00? You can hardly get a drink from a vending machine for $2. My last paycheck was $900 lighter due to federal tax. I'll take a chance on $2.00 two or three times a year.

There have been 17 Powerball jackpot tickets sold in Louisiana. I think we're tied with Florida for seventh most out of all the states that offer it.

Only losers think that they can “win” in lotteries.

Can't do that. He's the only person I've ever heard of winning the damn lottery. So, pretty easy to narrow down if you knew him.

I know it was at the Publix right by you but I think they were visiting from New Jersey and purchased the ticket on vacation or something like that

Seems the big PB and MM are always California or New York. 

Your starting to notice the trend. There may be no conspiracies but it does seem strangely coincidental.
