@Rainman said in $1.55 Billion: Jolly, you don't know what you're missing. Why don't you want to be rich, or at least somewhat wealthier? It's so easy to buy the tickets, I just don't understand some people. LOL I guess that is why the most tickets are sold in the poorest sip codes.

@George-K It would be interesting to see Amazon stealing rate vs. other grocery stores.

Those folks cannot catch a break. Not for the past 45 years anyway.

NPR’s report on this: https://www.npr.org/2023/10/05/1203845886/women-tech-conference-men-grace-hopper It quotes a TikToker’s comment on the phenomenon: "the Kens had taken over Barbieland."

But isn't that true of most good domestic pet breeders? I don't think they do it for the money.
