As promised before

With lottery fever growing everyday, the current payout is $1.4 Billion comprised of 2 lotteries, the Mega $970 million and Powerball 8, $430 million. I'm buying the winning tickets tonite and as promised before I will spread the cheer to every Escape owner I meet over the next year @ $1,000 per Escape. In addition I'm going to donate at least 50% after taxes to charity, so send me good wishes and I'll see you on the road......

Lottery

Don’t matter how much money he’s got, I’ll
still give him a zucchini and some garlic.
I am richer than any lottery winner and tonight
The luckiest man on the face of the earth.
Hey here’s a 1950 Cockshutt tractor that’s a beauty.

No Jim these are all collectors and they are having a 12 mile tractorcade Tomorrow. Then they’re gonna parade the campground. There’s also several pioneering activities and demos.
Last year they backed an Oliver tractor up to an Oliver trailer. About 50 some egg campers and around 7 or 8 Escapes.

i've got a 1947(?) Ford 8N here, but its nowhere near 'pretty'.... it did run OK, i use it occasionally to drag a disc tiller around the back couple acres of my property... its been parked a couple years now, so I probably need to get another battery, and add some fresh fuel and clean the carb (again) to get it running.

Well, good news and bad news, I hit one number, so it pays for the ticket, other than that, no winners, the pot is now a combined $2.04 billion. Another drawing tonite for the $470 million package. Then next Tuesday for the $1.6 billion which will probably exceed $2 billion by then....
I'm feeling lucky as I'm still in the game.....

Hmmm, now I'm thinking, if I win both drawings, I could buy every forum member a new Escape, purchase the entire years production from Tammy and Reace, call it the
"cpaharley2008 special edition model", you could get a new one and sell your old one, reap double the benefits of my good luck!! wish me luck..... why worry about a small tariff increase!

Anyone who wins this thing will have to disappear. They will have no choice.

Well unfortunately it is not I, not the winner that is. But no one hit all the numbers so it has grown to 620 million and the combined is estimated to be $2.5 billion, the largest ever. Mike is right, this amount exceeds some small countries GNP....hecht, the yearly budget for York City is $100 million!! But yes, Mike is right, one would have to become anonymous to prevent harm from those less fortunate.
