Thanks, Lawrence. You did good for once. We need more murderers to finish themselves off.
Sure he was a screw up, and he did it to himself and has no one to blame, but this is what I have come to expect from the internet community.
You took the time to type this up when you could have just thought it to yourself. Stay classy.
So funny people will trash others on this site for having another opinion about football, but when it comes to character the true test is at times like these. It really shows the person you are.
Wishing people death or enjoying ones death makes you no better than someone who would take a life in my book. Death is a miserable thing even if the person deserves it. Should never be celebrated.
I also dont know what this guy posted below, but I am almost certain his true character was revealed too.
This post is hidden because you have chosen to ignore posts by JuniorNB. View it anyway?
I said Phillips was a great guy and he will be missed.
Even funnier is that he can't read what you just wrote. That's what one gets for putting someone on ignore. He missed his chance at a share of the winning Powerball ticket. Costly use of the ignore feature.
I can see when you quote him, please dont. But, I'll take my chances on the Powerball seeing as how you have the same chance as I.
-The adjusted lump-sum payout is around $675,000,000 and growing.
-The cost of 1 ticket is $2.
-The odds of winning are 1 in 292,000,000. Terrible odds, right?
-Let's say you buy all of the ticket combinations for $584,000,000 (theoretically guaranteeing a win. I know...just keep reading).
-Investment is $584 million, return is $675 million (or more). While the odds are awful, the return is massive. Using these numbers, the investment to return ratio is *theoretically* 1:1.16.
-Continuing with the math, every $2 ticket gets you 1/292,000,000 of the $675,000,000 jackpot. Divided out, that creates a potential return of $2.32 per ticket. There it is: $2 will get you a ticket theoretically worth $2.32.
Okay, I know...lots of fallacies. Mostly, no one can buy all of the tickets and there is a high probability that there will be multiple winners (thus, reducing the jackpot). In my completely unqualified and unsolicited opinion, I think buying a modest number of PowerBall tickets is far less than stupid when the potential monetary return per number combo exceeds the cost of the ticket. I would be interested in hearing from an statistician or economist on the numbers as I'm sure I'm missing some crucial factors. Nonetheless, I will be investing.
