Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments
and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism.

We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.

You know I thought a lot about this. I think winning would ruin my life. Everything would change. Everything.

Why don't they split the jackpot into smaller chunks?

A billion dollar will make you only slightly happier than 10 million dollars. But 10 million dollars will make you much happier than (close to) 0 dollar.

It's not about making people happy, it's about making the state happy.

And large jackpots make the state happy.

Reminds me of that prayer that made the rounds a few years ago: "Dear Lord, Please give me the opportunity to prove that winning the lottery won't ruin me."

I've never thought (seriously) about winning. For one thing, I don't buy tickets. The best definition of a lottery ticket I ever came across is: A savings account for morons.

Your buddy is probably wise enough to handle the situation.

Oh, you'd be able to handle it. Really, I think you would.

It would make you stupid.

You keep enough to take care of the family and give the rest away.

It's one thing to make yourself stupid, but if you did it to your children that would make you crazy.
The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy

LottoMax, Canadian equivalent to Powerball has a max prize of $50,000,000. If it gets above that the rest is split into smaller prizes of $1,000,000 each.

So say it gets to 75mil, they do a draw for 50, then 25 draws for 1mil.

Correction: According to wiki, in July 2015 they increased the maximum prize to $60,000,000.

Only 1 million? It doesn't surprise me anymore that Canada is often considered a socialist country ;)
