Granted, by showing you this I slightly decrease my odds of actually winning. But I'd be happy to see one of you fuckers win it too. Good luck to you all.

When I win, I'll just sell it, and get a house on Lake Travis. East Texas sucks.

It's in Tyler, ugh. I lived in Dallas and had to go there on church trips for conferences occasionally. That city is a hole. At least they give you $250K with the house, cause you have to pay taxes yourself on it.

Yeah, and who pays the property taxes on the land, the house, and the car? Who pays the car insurance?
Oh, the winner. But I guess you do get that quarter mill, which probably comes to about $48.52 after taxes.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, wouldn't the gov't want to tax the value of the house and the car at the same exorbitant rates that it taxes lottery winnings? If so, I bet thats what the $250,000 is for.

Yeah, I signed up, and would probably throw a drunken party there, then sell the bitch. Who the fuck wants to live in Texas?

But I can't enter because I'm Canadian?

No one wants Canadians. Yeah, get too many Canadians living in America and you may not continue to turn into Nazi Germany.

I think it's a wonderful idea to fill America up with Canadians. Especially the froggy ones with nuts... those are my favourites.

Man, we're getting screwed compared to the Germans! Ottawa's a polar bear infested arctic wasteland, the women are fatties, and instead of crepes they've got poutine. At least Paris would be a decent town once you rule it with an iron fist. Ottawa? Not so much.

Not to mention the irrational hatred of Southerners, Texans and the French! A WINNER IS US!

I sure hope we get more threads that detail sweet deals on magazines and contests we can enter because I sure don't get enough of that crap in my inbox.

Have you tried the internet? It's made out of millions of people missing the point of everything and then getting angry about it

All I get is penis enhancement offers and home mortgage offers in my inbox. As a degenerate gambler and compulsive Lotto player I enter every damned legit contest I can get my hands on.
