Winning $129 million lottery ticket bought at Detroit-area porn store Quote:
Why were they in a porn shop? Hmmm Lets think about this. Why would anyone go into a porn shop? Perhaps to... shop...for.... well... porn? ![]() Quote:
I did not know that the store selling the winning ticket gets money. Is this a common practice or only MI? In any case $50,000 to a porn shop is my type of stimulus. ![]() Quote:

When you pick the single lump sum payout, the prize is reduced. $128mil is based on 28 annual payments. The lotto commission makes a bigger profit that way since they are recieving interest from various investments that allow them to make the larger annual payments. If you take the lump sum, they can't invest that weeks proceeds, so they have to offer less. |

That's a bit tight. Bet that's not in the adverts! I wonder if our national lottery thing does the same?
