A person with a ticket matching all six Powerball numbers in Saturday’s $1.3 billion jackpot came forward Monday to claim the prize, Oregon officials said.
The lottery ticket was purchased at a Plaid Pantry convenience store in the northeast part of the city, Oregon Lottery said in a statement.
Oregon Lottery is working with the person in a process that involves security measures and vetting that will take time before a winner is announced.
“This is an unprecedented jackpot win for Oregon Lottery,” Oregon Lottery Director Mike Wells said in the statement. “We’re taking every precaution to verify the winner before awarding the prize money.”
Do you spend every single dollar you get responsibly? Do you have zero vices?
Just because you’re different doesn’t mean you’re better. Get off it with this rhetoric and let people live their lives, especially when it has zero impact on you.
If by ‘vices,’ you mean spend money on something on the chance that I might get something good out of it but probably not, no. I do not have such vices. I spend money on things that benefit me. I don’t really see the benefit of buying a lottery ticket since it will almost always lead to disappointment.
I’d encourage you to look up what a vice is.
It’s glaringly obvious your vices are different but I guarantee you have your own that some or many of us would find to be wildly irresponsible.
Okay.
Unless you count using cannabis for medical reasons and not for recreation in a state that isn’t legal a vice, I do not have any vices.
I see you skipped the contextual definition immediately below the last one. Let me help you out:
“A bad habit”
Yes you do have vices.
If you know that I have them, you can tell me what they are.
Idiotic take. You’re human, you have vices. It’s that simple.
Here’s some more help: https://factmyth.com/vices-and-virtues-explained/
Do you drink soda or alcohol? Vice.
Do you eat comfort foods when you aren’t strictly needing substance? Vice.
Do you binge watch television? Vice.
Do you doomscroll? Vice.
Do you do anything at all that you look back on and say ‘maybe that’s not the thing I should be doing’ and then go on and do it again? Vice.
No one is so virtuous as to be absent of vice and your self-aggrandizing, holier-than-thou sentiment is disgusting and abhorrent and in my estimation, a vice.
Game, set, match
If you drink one glass of wine a month, that is neither bad nor a habit.
Again, if you do this occasionally, it is neither bad nor a habit.
How is that a bad habit?
How is that a bad habit?
I do everything I can to avoid this.
“Saying you don’t have vices is a vice” makes not more sense than “saying you’re not a racist means you’re racist.”
I never said I was virtuous. I said I don’t have any vices. You certainly haven’t shown that I do, you’ve only shown that you don’t understand what ‘habit’ means and you have a very conservative idea of ‘bad.’
Habits are something I try to avoid unless they are beneficial.
By definition, once a month is a habit. Alcohol is technically poison. It’s not much of a vice, but since you are going for technicalities, it fits the definition. But no one can prove you have a vice over the internet. But the odds of any given person not having a vice are about as small as winning the powerball.
