1. Now the real crazy begins. Media will descend on the store

Some poor bastard's life is about to become a spectacle.

Lucky shit.

2. Just one?

I really wish there were multiple winners

[W_HAMILTON]

4. Apparently that's just CA reporting in...

...they are waiting for other states to report in, so, I guess it's possible there could be multiple winners still.

9. If the odds hold out to be reliable ...

there should be about six winning tickets. That is if the odds are around 250 million to one.
And of course that is purely theory. Last time according to the odds there should have been
four winning tickets and of course there were none.

14. that one winning ticket might be part of an office pool....

3. Stole my ticket.

Mine, I tell you.

Maybe he was driving thru Chino...

8. I got friends near there too.

Crossing fingers.

10. I won $8

...or as I like to put it I lost $2.

11. Chino Hills trends R, unfortunately.

If the winner is a resident, greater chance of not being a dem. Bummer!

More info from Wikipedia:

"Chino Hills was ranked 34th in Money magazine's "Best places to live 2012."[7] It is also the 6th highest income place in the United States (with population 65,000 to 250,000)[8] and was ranked as the 13th safest city in the United States in 2008 by the FBI.[9] Chino Hills is a part of the Chino Valley."

12. So how much was collected nationwide in the Tax on Stupidity?

and how little of it will actually go to schools, as it's often touted?

13. 8-27-34-4-19 and Powerball: 10 - somebody is in shock in Ca. n/t

[dhol82]

15. Well, got one number and the power ball

Guess that gets me bupkis. )

16. saw on the news there are at least 2 other winners in some other state(s)

so they will "only" get about 300 million or even less if they take cash and after taxes.
