Nice, I just learn that the other day my winter beater's inspection is two months expired (opps lol)

I got a family member to buy me 20 lotto tickets yesterday in Cali. And one of the winners is from Cali.

[PoorMansCamaro]

But none of them hit. :(. Back to work I go!

[kjkjr27]

I would play the megamillions if I actually new how to. Whenever I see someone buy a ticket they say random ass numbers that make zero sense. Wtf is 50/50 straight blah blah blah

Since I'm still employed by the state today, obviously I didn't win.

I have no idea what they're talking about. You just walk up to the counter and tell them to give you "XX dollars Mega Millions/Powerball/whatever."

[PoorMansCamaro]

i didn't realize the mega millions odds are way worse than powerball. they added more numbers in mega millions. somewhere around 70 something numbers, so you only have a 1 in 256million chance of winning. Whereas in powerball, you have a 1 in 176million. Granted powerball is more expensive, i'd spend the little extra, to have that much of a better odds. lol

Mega Millions is getting ridiculously hard to win. That's why the jackpots are getting bigger.

Only got one number last night and it wasn't the Megaball.

[PoorMansCamaro]

i got 2 megaball numbers right, and a couple of tickets with 2 correct numbers, but none of those two had the same megaball.

[pgustavson]

I think their trying to push the jackpots higher and higher by decreasing the chance of winning to get a more "rabid" response from players as well as draw in more folks that normally wouldn't play. Just a way to take more money away from the most people possible.

All right I have a dumb question and I feel like an idiot but whatever.

I have a plastic front plate from a GMC dealer on my Envoy and it cracked the other day, so I went to take it off. The screw that holds the plate to the bracket won't unscrew. It just keeps spinning.

I'm about to head back out with a flat head to push it from behind while unscrewing from the front, but if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it.

If you use the flat head, be sure to put something soft around it.

Why don't you just take the entire front plate off?

[FenwickHockey65]

I got it. The screw has a section where there aren't any threads, just plain metal (I'm guessing to serve as a buffer where the plate/bracket are), and that needed to be pushed forward before the threads would bite and unscrew.

And because the bracket is one of those stupid ones that had to be drilled into the front bumper so I'm stuck with either the bracket or having two stupid looking holes.

Fill the holes up.. Lol
