Better to LOWER lofty jackpots, but RAISE the probability of winning jackpot. LottoMax ought offer MORE chances of winning SMALLER slices (of the same pie). Rather than one winner hoarding $70M — scherz0
2-6 possible winners to share the jackpot. Maybe add 1 extra set of numbers per $50m so that (e.g.) a $300m jackpot would consist of generating 6 sets of numbers — 180 Proof

The English Collective of Prostitutes (ECP) is a network of sex workers working both on the streets and indoors campaigning for decriminalisation and safety.
We fight against being treated like criminals. We’ve helped sex workers win against charges of soliciting, brothel-keeping & controlling – the last two most often used against women who are working together for safety.

Wanna see some soul-crushing, ugly building? — Lionino
I'll wager the apartments in that building are far more spacious and varied than most of today's apartment blocks — Jamal
It's a famous example of organicism — Jamal
And here's a better image of the exterior: — Jamal
What makes a structure "beautiful"? You find these buildings "magnificent" and "photogenic", but lacking in something, "humanity" you refer to. Could you show some buildings that do quantify what you would call "beautiful" or "human"? — Outlander
During Stalin’s rule, the priority was to build grand, imposing buildings like wedding cakes — Jamal
I don't think the building (Moscow State University) is a beautiful thing — Jamal

Wouldn't this mean that your existence is eternal? — Metaphysician Undercover
