Why is the cash option for the $1.2B Powerball drawing so low? The answer might surprise you - mlive.comLANSING, MI – It’s a question that lottery players both casual and hardcore ask themselves and others when talking about winning the multi-million-dollar jackpot.
“Would you take the cash option up front or the annuity for the full prize amount?”
With the annuitized prize valued at $1.2 billion for the drawing on Wednesday, Nov. 2 and the cash option worth an estimated $596.7 million, it’s something players will have to consider if they are lucky enough to win...
“Would you take the cash option up front or the annuity for the full prize amount?”
With the annuitized prize valued at $1.2 billion for the drawing on Wednesday, Nov. 2 and the cash option worth an estimated $596.7 million, it’s something players will have to consider if they are lucky enough to win...
- The cash option is determined by the numbers of tickets actually sold during the run of drawings that haven’t had a winner.
- Powerball is also required to have the total value of the cash option on hand to payout immediately if a player selects that option, meaning Powerball estimates that $596.7 million worth of tickets have been sold (or will be sold prior to tonight’s drawing) since the last winner was bought on Aug. 3...
Ohio sees massive voter turnout on GOP ballot question to protect state constitution from liberal activists | Fox News
Ohio sees massive voter turnout on GOP ballot question to protect state constitution from liberal activists | Fox News:
Ohio voters on Tuesday will decide on a ballot measure to make it harder to amend the state constitution, a change conservatives say is needed to protect the state from a radical anti-gun, abortion and education agenda that could soon find its way to other states.
It's an issue that has already prompted a massive early vote turnout – one that has some election offices straining to manage the load.
Worth you time!-----Medicine, changes and intimidation
Great to learn from professor Robert Clancy. Every time I learn so much.
- Robert is a consultant physician and pioneering immunologist, professor of medicine, emeritus professor of pathology, doctor of medicine, doctor of philosophy and doctor of science, author, teacher and broadcaster.
Also holder of the Order of Australia.
@DavidW.R."I always work on the basis that every patient is smarter than I am." Best quote I've ever heard from a doctor. Wish every doctor practiced with this very attitude.
@francisgriffin1Robert Clancy is the best person that John Campbell has on his videos. He is modest, extremely good at explaining complex issues to laypeople and never blames people for their errors. I could watch/listen to John and Robert all day long. I think that the guideline process discussed today has been coming for years. During a relatively recent trip to my GP (4-5 years ago) it was clear that she was looking at the computer screen for proposed medication for my numbers and it was only when I refused to take an additional blood pressure tablet that she even looked at achieving the same effect with different rather than additional medication. If doctors only respond to guidelines it won't be long before they're replaced by bots.
Social Engineering Is Now The Primary Objective Of Woke Corporations | The Daily Wire
Social Engineering Is Now The Primary Objective Of Woke Corporations | The Daily Wire - By Matt Walsh"It used to be conventional wisdom in the field of economics that corporations should do everything they can to make a profit and maximize shareholder value.
That was the whole point of a corporation...there was this idea that, if for some reason a corporation decided to spend a ton of money on social causes, instead of growing the business, then they were doing something wrong.
They were misusing shareholder funds.
They were engaging in a form of social engineering, which is unethical, and maybe even illegal.
Pretty much everyone agreed with that.
In the last decade or so, though, this reasoning has fallen completely out of favor...

"You can't even have solar in a home if you have trees that are too tall. How are you going to drive around the city and have a solar-powered truck in the concrete jungle?" Lachterman asked. "It's just ridiculous. You're going to have product costs going through the roof trying to convert something is crazy, and if you go battery, I'll need something twice as long to hold the batteries to run it."

A New Day, a New Type of Election Fraud - American Thinker
A New Day, a New Type of Election Fraud - American Thinker - By Jay Valentine"Seems like every day, someone is finding new, fun types of election fraud.
This is not accidental -- this is exactly how industrial, at-scale, organized fraud is uncovered. We call it spiraling to accuracy.
- When our team was hired by State Farm, GEICO, USAA, and other top insurers to stop organized auto fraud rings, we found the easy stuff fast -- the equivalent of phantom voters.
- When we cracked eBay’s on-line auction fraud -- we were dealing not with organized rings, but individual crime entrepreneurs who sold a computer, took the dough, never delivered, were kicked off eBay, changed every identifier, and rejoined eBay with the same scam..
- That is happening in the election fraud space with new variants -- SMURFS, algorithms, and shape shifters...
Deeper analysis shows tens of millions of dollars in illegal, outside contributions coming in, then being carefully redistributed to leftist candidates all over the country.

When one of their players scored a goal against Britain’s team in England a few years ago, she faked drinking a cup of tea.
The team rallied the world against them because they are mean, petty and obnoxious.

EXCLUSIVE: 'We Are Totally Awash in Pseudoscience': Nobel Prize-Winning Physicist on Climate Agenda | The Epoch Times - By Nathan Worcester
- His speech 'postponed' by the IMF, John Clauser speaks out
- "I believe that climate change is not a crisis," Mr. Clauser told the audience at Quantum Korea 2023.
- He also described the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) as "one of the worst sources of dangerous misinformation."
- The physicist said he believes that objective science on climate has been sacrificed to politics.
- The preeminence of politics is all the worse, he said, because so much money has already gone to climate initiatives.
"We're talking about trillions of dollars," he said, adding that powerful people don't want to hear that they've made "trillion-dollar mistakes."...

IN DEPTH: Banks Take Lead in Establishing Personal Social Credit System, Critics Charge | The Epoch Times"Large money-center banks appear to be in the vanguard of a movement to build a system of personal social credit scores.
- This week, British bank Barclays became the latest to be accused of shutting the accounts of its customers for political or religious reasons. That followed revelations in April that Coutts, a private bank owned by UK bank NatWest, was alleged to have closed the accounts and publicized personal information of conservative politician Nigel Farage, one of the foremost Brexit advocates and a supporter of the policies of former U.S. President Donald Trump.

China, Russia send naval warships near Alaska, triggering forceful US response | Fox News:
China and Russia conducted a joint naval operation near U.S. territory earlier this week, triggering a large response from the U.S. Navy, Fox News Digital has learned.
The joint operation, conducted by two significant American adversaries, consisted of 11 ships and neared Alaska's southwestern coast, according to Sen. Dan Sullivan, R-Alaska, who was briefed on the matter earlier this week by U.S. defense officials. Sullivan said the U.S. Navy ultimately mobilized four destroyers to guide the Chinese and Russian ships away from American waters.
