A question for those in the US and Canada. Is there a maximum amount that can be won on your lotteries? Or is the jackpot 'rolled over' till the next week if not won? The largest in the UK I think was around £20 million, (around $30 million US). We've still got some way to go before we reach Spains level - 33 million Euro weekly jackpots are quite regular.

"The largest Powerball jackpot was captured last year by a West Virginia contractor who won $314.9 million on Christmas Day. The richest lottery prize in U.S. history was $363 million in the Big Game jackpot, split by two players in 2000."

Wow! Lovely! Hope they all deserved it.

I know they have an anonymity box for lottery winners over here. A fella from Yorkshire won about 22mil after it rolled over a few months and nobody knows who he is. Very low profile geezer.

My first purchase would be a Lamborghini Diablo VT Roadster that they have in Modena Cars just round the corner to where I work. The next would be 500 gallons of petrol and a stack of new tyres.

And the rest on speeding tickets?
:)

Oh, and a five mile patch of Bonneville salt flats...
I did the "geting caught at 106mph" a few years back!

I heard that had been lowered to $5k not long ago. Part of the terrorist tracking thing. :dead:

Take note of any mid-east looking geezers trying to buy Howitzers for $4999.95. Them buggers is up to no good!

Hmm... Lets see... You've already been done for 106mph, and you want to buy a monster Lambo. Wouldn't it be a good idea if you started with, say, a Robin Reliant and work your way up? At least until you grasp the concept of speed restrictions? :)

Ah, but that's why I want a patch 'o' the Flats too. It wasn't that bad, I only got two weeks off the road, £250 fine. And I got sent to work in Ireland for the first week of the ban. Bonzer!

But don't you think running up and down a patch of salt flats is a waste of this cars posing potential? Could you really resist thinking every time you went past a 70 MPH sign - "my car can do nearly three times that"?

"Speed restrictions" is an oxymoron. ;)

Bonzer?

A less dangerous type of moron that I see every day on the road!
