Do I want to win it?  YES!  :thumbsup:
Am I going to win it?  Probably not.  :(

Can't hurt to try  :D

I think there's been only one winning ticket ever in NJ.

I'll be putting in my $10 for a ticket, you can bet on that.  Even if I had to share it...well let's just say the Democatic Party would be VERY happy.


Hmm, then I could really start a business venture...Internet television, subscription based with on-demand original programming.  How much revenue COULD I make by making made-for-internet television?  What broadcasting regulations would apply?  Could I show full nudity on some shows without worrying about broadcast decency requirements?  Boobies for straight guys and lesbians, male appendages for women and gay guys...Hmm....why wait for the millions from the lottery?

Time to put together a business plan and get some investers.  Maybe some of those folks asking to invest in my script?  I've seen people do small-scale stuff with individual shows...but I mean actually trying to make money off of this?

Okay, yeah, hmm, thanks for the idea guys!

SBC and others have already been lobbying for internet T V, something that has royally pissed off Time Warner cable TV and Dish and other networks.

Let the battle of the pocketbooks begin!  ;D

Not me!!   :'(

The winning ticket in NJ was purchased in Cape May County (southernmost part of NJ).  I bought my tickets in North Jersey.

We do have some members in South Jersey, though  ;)
