...Unlike those Powerball lottos where if you want it all at once you lose a tone of it, and then have to pay over 40% taxes on what they do finally give you.

Oh, you've done it now, KazamaSmokers. Now some Canoodia Farker will get all snooty and point out their play money is pulling up close to the US dollar on the exchange rate and somehow we're supposed act like it's suddenly real money. If it's real, how come vending machines won't take it, huh? Answer me that one Canuckistan!

You must be doing it wrong. They work great for me.

Huh. Well, in all fairness, we don't see too much Canadian currency floating around this far south.

well, it is pretty easy to spot. As soon as you realize that 5 dollar bill in your hand isn't ugly, you know it's Canadian.

Oh Canada, you've always been my favorite hamlet town country to the north. To whoever wins, how about sending me some Timbits?

Capt_Evil: Once I win the $42 million, I'll buy Timmys for all the TFers.

Now that's what I'm talking about!

/Good luck

Capt_Evil: Shut your goddam mouth. Tim Hortons is now and always will be Canadian, I don't care what anyone says.

their doughnuts have gone to shiat since Wendy's cut back on the quality to make it more "profitable". Their Creme Supremes are now laughable farces.

I prefer to buy the doughnuts my SU sells, and the coffee they sell...columbian black, peels the paint off the walls and dissolves your stomach lining in record time, and it'll keep you awake all damned day.

Ever since they went to the frozen donuts shipped out from a central location thing, I've noticed a difference, too.

cream supremes used to be a veritable explosion on epic 100-man-bukakke proportions. Now there's barely enough cream in it to call it a cream-filled doughnot, let alone a "cream supreme".

I never understood why they'd dramatically change the formula. I remember Tim Horton's employing at least one baker per location, 2 in busier locations, to bake fresh doughnuts all day. They used to be plump and always soft. Now they are compacted and totally taste like they've been in a freezer for several months. It's a travesty of a tradition, and I refuse to buy their products.

Riche: And NOW big lotto payouts that actually deliver what's promised?

that whole lotto-payout-thing isn't new around here...we haven't paid taxes on winnings (lotto, gambling, etc) from as far back as I can remember.

CheddarPants: If I were to win the lottery, I would spend a summer touring every Major League Baseball park. I would rent the party deck at every stadium, and throw a Fark party each time.

You, Sir, may be my new personal hero.

make that all NHL games and you'll be a cool guy in my books.

if I had 42 million, I'd save a bunch of it, and then set aside enough to spend a year following the Oilers, going to all 82 of their games, and every playoff game I could attend. Then I'd get my ass on the waiting list for season tickets and get decent seats for life.

Actually, if you take the lump sum and actually invest it properly, you should easily end up with more money than you'd have gotten if you'd taken the yearly payout, because the lottery commission will invest that money very, very conservatively.

Or you could end up like that dumb-ass in West Virginia, and getting $900K of it stolen from your truck outside a titty bar, and buying your granddaughter a huge house to die of a meth overdose in.

Your Name Here: That's assuming the Oil manage to make the playoffs again anytime soon.
