I suppose you also order what horrible names some tacky places give menu items when you are forced to go to them. "Yes, I would like this item please", "You mean the super fruity spectacular vegan br-egg-less explosion?", "Yes, I want that, I will not say that ridiculous name."

If you're going to a place that has tacky names on the menu, the server doesn't give a poo poo whatsoever what you call it but you're wasting time trying to call it "a linguini pasta with alfredo sauce and chicken, mushrooms, peppers, garlic, and spinach" instead of "Popeyes chicken alfredo". You're not embarrassing yourself by calling it something like "rooty tooty fresh and fruity" at ihop, that's what they expect to hear. Would you sit there and point at the menu until they acknowledged the item and eventually let you say "yes I would like this item please."? That's a pretty huge red flag to the server that you're a gigantic shithead and probably going to tip poorly no matter how hard they take care of you. Congrats, you've just told the server at the start of the meal that they can make more money by taking care of the other tables.

I just saw this and was finally going to buy one but I am in Las Vegas this week and apparently they don't do lotteries in Nevada? What the gently caress?!

If you really want one, drive 30 min south on I-15 to Prim. It has a bunch of casinos sitting on the state line with one solitary building sitting on the other side of the street, which is the state line, to sell Lotto tickets.

My old man messaged me today saying that if the lotto didn't win tonight to let him know he thinks he has some "numbers as a message from above"...

I thought even he was immune from this poo poo, but I guess when we're talking about a billion dollars everyone starts to get a little bit loopy.

A trust which invests in a bunch of different mutual funds. Keep in mind that if it's all in a savings account you can be sued for it. And you would be. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon. And for the rest of your life.

Yes, but you'll have a lot of money and be able to buy nice things & really good weed. Also you will get a lot of random whores coming up to you, some of them might be worth plowing and you get to choose which whore to plow.

I'd try to avoid Prim. Last time I was there it was overrun by escaped criminals, the local sheriff's deputy only got the job because his sister was was married to the Sheriff, and he was less than useless.

This right here.

I don't understand the whole appeal of letting people know and holding that press conference where you get the giant novelty check and letting the world know you won. In about 48 hours everyone you have ever met in your entire life will hit you up for money. I mean, sure, attention and news cameras are nice, but you're essentially just putting a target on yourself for the rest of your life.

First get a lawyer, then get a financial planner, never give power of attorney to anyone, don't tell anyone, and learn how to say "no" in case people do find out.
