"NOT ENTIERLY"
Quote: avianrandyAs someone who has played the lottery in occasion on Florida,do you know if the numbers are drawn by computer or ping pong balls? I have seen the mega millions and Powerball drawings and they use ping pong balls. In the state I live all state lottery draw games they use a computer with exception of daily 3 and daily 4. They have a fireball option however which is chosen by computer and it is the same number for daily 3 and 4. The evening draw is the same way. I am going to be putting $10 on 1-4-6 straight as I don't think it has been drawn in a while...any suggestions on what would be a good date? The Texas lottery uses ping pong balls for all draws but they don't draw on Sunday at all. You can watch all their drawings on their website. In the state where evenbob lives,they have a game called poker draw where they draw 5 playing cards. The other day they drew 5 diamond playing cards which I thought was unusual. I wish you much good luck next time you gamble

The balls USED to be drawn by hand when I was a child, but they are now drawn by computer. Eddie Tipton got caught, arrested, booked, tried, and and sentenced because he was a Lottery Employee or something like that who played the Lottery himself and was hacking the computer drawings in his favor. IIRC, Lottery Employees and Lottery Management are NOT supposed to be playing the Lottery because of a conflict of interest understandably.
Eddie "won," on a lottery ticket due to him hacking the computer drawings and claimed the multi million jackpot wearing a hoodie and looking DOWN. Lottery Staff were alarmed that the "winner," was concealing his FACE from the surveillance camera and launched an investigation and Eddie was arrested, booked, tried, and sentenced and spent years in jail and was just released about a year or so ago. 💡
Quote: billryan$2,000 sounds right if she waited until her full retirement age, but the trend is to take it much earlier. The majority of my friends are taking it at 62. I don't get anywhere near $2,000 from SS, but I've multiple revenue streams.
I hope to retire by 62 and start collecting SS. That is three more years for me and my estimated SS is about $2500 a month at age 62. I hope it is not much less because they will force me to change some plans. For me the biggest concern at retiring at 62 is medical insurance. I am hoping my SS will cover it until I qualify for Medicare at 65.

Thank you for your condolences. 💡 She was REALLY young when she died, she was only 20! 😭

If you retired at 62 in Nevada, you could be eligible for ObamaCare for those three years. Florida never expanded their health coverage.

Are there no maximum net worth or income restrictions for Obamacare? I am not familiar with it.

When I moved to Nevada, it was based solely on income. If you were over 59 1/2, the only qualification was if your income was below a surprisingly high number. The states that expanded Medicaid were able to offer programs and grants. Before I turned 65, I paid $317 a month for my insurance and got credits for $339, no out-of-pocket. As ridiculous as it would seem, Medicaid/Obamacare is only income based, while Medicare for Seniors is asset-based. My income would qualify for dual Medicare/Medicaid if not for the asset-based portion.

have you ever seen or played this slot machine? I am familiar with dancing drums but not dancing drums tower. This was at hard rock Tampa

I've never seen Dancing Drums Tower. 💡 But, it does say that it's in Seminole Hard Rock Casino in Tampa. I haven't been to Tampa in a VERY long time. 💡 Your post reminds me that I haven't seen Fu Doa Le (The laughing babies games) games for a couple of years now. 🤔💡 I guess Fu Doa Le games ran their course and got overtaken by Dancing Drum games and Lightning Link games. 🤔💡
Quote: avianrandyOk,I knew you were in florida but not sure where. I think you have mentioned in the past their are a few casinoes you are near to. Kelly and her husband couldn't do any good on it or a huff and puff she tried,but she more than made up for it on video poker. She hit a royal flush and then 4 ace's and a 3 kicker. Thanks for responding. Kelly and her husband post some very good videos gambling. Her slot channel is casino kelly but heir main channel is beyond blackjack on youtube.

I live in Miami. 😀 Speaking of Kelly and her Husband doing badly on Huff And Puff, Huff And Puff got stupid recently. I remember Huff And Puff paying out REALLY well a couple of years ago but nowadays, Huff And Puff has horrendous payouts. I saw a Player get a FULL screen of the orange measuring tape and he ONLY got around $15! 😱😳 After losing $200! 😱😳 That's beyond pathetic. The Wolf sure "Huffs and puffs and blows... Player's Bankrolls. 😐
Quote: billryanForty years later, you can name the superintendent of your elementary school. I can't name mine and doubt anyone here can name theirs. Sounds like a great teacher to me.

Hey, I am only 41, not 48! 😉🤣🤭You do have a great point about me STILL remembering my Superintendent's name from 8 years old. 😀😉 I can't remember the name of who was my PRINCIPAL at 8, 🤔💡 but I sure do remember Octavio Viseido being my school's Superintendent when I was 8! 🤣🤭
