No one won the massive jackpot, so it's going up to $1.7-2.0 billion: Saturday

Powerball nears record with $1.3 billion jackpot for tonight's drawing

The dumbest lottery winners of all time

• LIVE: $1.4 billion Powerball — What to know before buying a ticket + real winner stories

(ABC7) Powerball nears record with $1.3 billion jackpot for tonight's drawing. Sept.. 3, 2025: The Powerball jackpot for Wednesday night's drawing has soared to an estimated $1.3-$1.4 billion, the fifth-biggest in the lottery's history, after no one claimed the top prize earlier this week, winning a measly million (before taxes). abc7.com/post/powerball...

It looks like this will end up being the 4th biggest

(SunnyV2) Playing the lottery is already incredibly stup*d. However, of all the stup*d lottery winners, there are going to be a few who are extra d*mb, including people who won the jackpot then lost everything.

From accidentally throwing a 3-million-pound (dollar) lottery ticket in the bin (trash), to spending a $16.2 million dollar prize in under 90 days, these are the absolute dumbest and stup*dest lottery winners of all time.

What's karma got to do with it?

Dhr. Seven and Amber Larson, Wisdom Quarterly 2025

For one who knows and sees

The biggest mistake I hear when listening to people talk about karma -- other than mistaking the results (fruit) for the actions, the reaping (harvest) for the sowing -- is the implicit assumption that it's what one did in this life.

When we look at someone and judge her or him, that is a judgment. It is not a reality. The unseen reality is that that person is so much more than can be seen. People are the results of their previous actions, what they did long ago and what they are doing now at this moment, both. It may be possible to do something now and seem to get the opposite result.

However, when we examine ourselves under successful meditation (profound calm and the pursuit of insight or samatha-vipassana), we can see that most of the welcome and unwelcome results manifesting now were planted long ago.

How to win? Liquify LUCK (Dr. Gallenberger)

All we do, say, think follows us with fruit.

It is relatively rare for a recent action to bear sudden results. There is usually a period of maturation, bearing fruit, ripening. So it is wise to persist in the good (skillful, wholesome, harmless) as it will surely bear fruit at some point.

Likewise, it is foolish to persist in the bad (unskillful, unwholesome, harmful) because it does not seem to have yet borne any unwelcome results. What is "good," what is "bad"? That is very easy to answer, though it may be unbelievable, in karmic terms. The real "karma," according to the Buddha is the cetana (motivation, intention, impulse) behind an act, not the act itself. With this in mind, there are six major causes or roots of ALL actions (karma):

1. greed (craving, clinging, lust, selfishness)
2. hatred (aversion, fear, anger, annoyance)
3. delusion (wrong view, ignorance, confusion)
4. nongreed (letting go, giving, generosity, selflessness)
5. nonhatred (loving kindness, compassion, forbearance)
6. nondelusion (insight, wisdom, knowledge, understanding, right view).

Karma: It's everywhere you're going to be.

For any act (deed, impulsive acting out, conduct), we can reflect and seek out our own underlying motive.  In this way we can know the intention (motive) behind our karma (act). It will be rooted in one of these six. The first three invariably lead to eventual harm, both immediate in terms of disturbing our mind/heart and conscience if we still have one to save us and eventual in terms of bearing fruit long after the seed was sown (planted). This is a universal law (niyama) and not the Buddha's doing. He made it known to help all living beings be happy here and now and be liberated at some time in the future.

But isn't it wrong to WANT to be a millionaire or billionaire or trillionaire? - No. Wanting is normal. Any wanting may lead to that much disappointment, and certainly if greed (tanha become lobha, thirst become avaraice) gets a hold of us, that is very likely to lead to some very unskillful karma (deeds).

Living in an Abrahamic society that calls itself Judeo-Christian, we are taught to believe that, "Money is the root of all evil." While this is not incorrect as such, it is incomplete. It's not what the Bible says. Look it up. The popular KJV says that it is the LOVE of money that is the root of all evil, and that seems closer to what we find. "Desire" is not bad, as many Westerners misunderstand Buddhism to be saying. Craving is, which is to say, greed motivates many unskillful deeds, and these will have very painful results for a long time. We can see in ourselves, with no external authority telling us what's what, that the moment craving arises, unsatisfactoriness co-arises. With these springs hopes, plans, schemes, expectations...we're just setting ourselves up for a bigger and bigger fall. But say I want something -- more food, more comfort, more Avenged Sevenfold songs, more sex, more more more whatever -- and I'm willing to strive for it and worry about it and waste my time for it. Okay. So long as it's done in a lawful (codified consensus reality of the rules of our society) and harmless (ahimsa) way, that's fine. That's good. Go for it. But be aware, at least, that it will not satisfy greed. It will not (cannot) fulfill us. And in the meantime, we have not been cultivating the skillful that would lead to welcome results now and in the future. Compassion and wisdom pay great dividends, as does mindfulness.

Money, beauty! How can I love debt?

CEO Kiana Danial wants to get rich by offering to make you rich on linkedin.com

.

Kiana Dufour signed. Wants rich spouse?

Do our names have anything to do with our life paths?

If one names a daughter "Kiana," will that benefit her more in terms of money or beauty, the main driving forces of a worldly life?

It would be best if she were virtuous, accruing profitable (kusala, wholesome) karma the Buddha called merit to gain the five most desirable things in this world, at least when looked at in the long term.

SUTRA: Five things everyone wants

What you want, get it by karma.

The Buddha: "O [rich householder], there are five wished for, pleasant, and agreeable things that are rare in the world. What are they? They are long life, beauty, happiness, fame, and [rebirth in] a heaven.

"But of these five things, O householder, I do no teach that they are to be obtained by prayer or by vows [making deals with God or the universe, promising to do something in exchange for a boon]. If one could obtain them by prayer or vows, who would not do it?

"For a noble disciple, O householder, who wishes to have long life, it is unbefitting to pray for longevity or to take delight in doing so. Instead, one should follow a path of [practice in] life that is conducive to longevity. By following such a path, one will obtain long life, be it human or divine.

"For a noble disciple, O householder, who wishes for beauty... happiness... fame... [rebirth in] a heaven, it is unbefitting to pray for them or to take delight in doing so. Instead, one should follow a path of life that is conducive to beauty... happiness... fame... [rebirth in] a heaven.

"By following such a path, one will obtain beauty, happiness, fame, and [rebirth in] a heaven." (AN 5.43)

How to get rich right now

I'm the most beautiful Kiana in
the world (Morales/listal.com)

There’s a huge misconception between good debt and bad debt. 💸 Both sit in the "liability" column on a balance sheet, but there’s a huge difference between the two, which is the critical differentiator between poor people and rich people:

Poor people have bad debt. 😖 Wealthy people take advantage of good debt. 🤑 In fact, right now, debt is my favorite type of income!

Our Million Dollar Family Accelerators have accomplished so much using leverage.💰 But be very careful not to confuse the two types of debt in day-to-day life. 🚨

OD Martinique: Kiana (Quebec MOI)

📉 Bad debt is a liability on something that doesn’t make money — like luxury bags, cars that depreciate in value, cable TV, and all the other things poor people go into debt for to look like what they think a rich people look like.

📈 In contrast, good debt, also known as funding or leverage (gearing), is defined by the money one may owe to acquire an asset, an investment. It’s something that reproduces after itself to make more wealth — like a skillset gained that will keep on giving for years to come.

Here are some debt strategies wealthy people use to generate wealth:

• 🏠 Leverage in Real Estate: Taking out a mortgage to invest in property can amplify returns.
• 💼 Investment Loans: Borrowing to invest in appreciating assets like stocks or funds.
• 📈 Business Expansion: Securing loans to expand or start a business.
• 💰 Tax Advantages: Borrowing against investments to fund purchases without triggering capital gains taxes can optimize wealth growth.
• 🎓 Education and Skill Development: Loans for education or skill enhancement that leads to higher income potential.

Remember, leveraging debt for wealth requires caution and an understanding of the risks involved.

SUTRA: Reasons for getting rich

Are we all agreed that these five are good?

The Buddha: "Householder, there are five reasons for getting rich. What are they?

"... A noble disciple with riches through work and zeal, gathered by strength of arm, earned by sweat of brow, justly obtained in a lawful way, makes oneself happy, glad, and keeps that happiness; one makes one's parents happy, glad, and keeps them so -- likewise wife and children and assistants.

"...When riches are gotten in this way, one makes friends and companions happy, glad, and keeps them so.

"...When riches are gotten in this way, bad luck... is warded off, and one keeps one's goods in safety.

"...When riches are gotten in this way, one makes the five oblations [pūjā] to one's kin, guests, spirits, kings, and deities.

"...When riches are gotten this way, the noble disciple institutes offerings of lofty aim, celestial, ripening in happiness, leading heavenward [to the deva planes, akasha loka, sagga], for all those recluses and good people who abstain from pride and indolence, who bear all things in patience and humility, each mastering self, each calming self, each perfecting self.

"Now if the wealth of that noble disciple, heeding these five reasons, comes to destruction, let that disciple consider: 'At least I have heeded those reasons for getting rich, but my wealth has gone!' Therefore, one is not upset.

"And if one's wealth increases, let one think: 'Truly, I have heeded those reasons and my wealth has grown!' Therefore, one will not be upset in either case." (AN 5.41)

Judge bankrupts Trump: $454.5 million fine

Ashley Wells, Sheldon S., Seth Auberon, Pfc. Sandoval (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

The judge can't fine me that much, can he?

Trump has been handed an eviction of sorts: He's out of the BBC, the Billionaire Boys' Club, because he can no longer afford the steep membership fees.

• UPDATE: Fine now $454,500,000 because of backdated interest
• Nooooo'oh! Donald Trump ordered to pay $354 million in New York real estate fraud lawsuit (MSN)
• The total fine for the convicted Trump fraudsters is more like $364 million because sons Donald and Eric were also hits with fines and all are barred from being CEOs of any company in New York for three years.

Don't compare me to my dumb nepotistic sons!!

He may have to open up Mar a Lago to Airbnb rentals to cover his expenses.

He has allegedly run up a bill from defense attorneys of $500 million, or half a billion. He was fined $5 million for the rape of a woman he repeatedly defamed and was recently fined an additional $83 million for defaming her (and she has enough evidence to sue him again for doing it again after the trial).

Today's fine is $354 million. And he still faces about 90 criminal cases that may land him in federal prison unless he pays all the rest of his money on better defense attorneys or MAGAots rise up again and break him out of jail through another attempted insurrection that results in a second U.S. Civil War. Let's add it up:

• 354,000,000.00 (today's fine for fraud)
• 500,000,000.00 (defense attorneys' bill)
• 083,000,000.00 (fine for defamation)
• 005,000,000.00 (fine for rape/sexual assault)
• 500,000,000.00 (future legal fees)
• = more than the billion he started with

Will this cost Trump a young trophy wife?

Melania: I'll be taking my half and going now.

If Don John Trump started with a billion (1,000 million), and that's a big if -- given that he was convicted of financial fraud in New York for lying about how much his assets are worth or what he's spending his hush money on, and most of his tax documents do not seem to be examined by the mainstream media that allegedly worked so hard to have access to them -- he is down to almost nothing.

MLK: Where do we go from here? (speech)

Dr. King via Gabe Gentry, Aug. 26, 2011; Pfc. Sandoval, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. - "Where do we go from here?"

(Gabe Gentry) After spending almost an hour detailing the many successes of the civil rights movement up to that time, Dr. King asks the question, "Where do we go from here?"

What followed was 14 minutes of soaring oratory, condemning the inherent economic injustices found in a consumption-based economy. Within a year, he was assassinated [for questioning our war-based society and economic system, making profits for the few by dropping bombs on Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos to be able to order new ones] while protesting for universal living wages on behalf of Memphis sanitation workers.

["You can question our morality, Reverend, but you will not question our capitalism, our addiction to war, or our fundamental racism and caste structure with Blacks and Natives at the bottom and brown people in general" -- seems to be the message of the assassination. While it seems many civil rights activists supported him, in fact he is great because they turned their back on him for speaking truth to power at a radical (roots) level.]

I want to be RICH but avoid wrong livelihood

Access to Insight; Dhr. Seven (trans.), Pat Macpherson, CC Liu (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

Right livelihood, right livelihood, what is "right livelihood"?

Right livelihood is the fifth of the factors of the Noble (Ennobling) Eightfold Path. (Noble or aryan means "enlightened"). This factor belongs to the virtue division of the path.

The Buddha's definition

"What is right livelihood? A disciple of the noble ones (enlightened ones), having abandoned wrong livelihood, keeps life going by right livelihood. This is called 'right livelihood' (samma ajivo)" (SN 45.8).

"If one's outgo exceeds one's income,

one's upkeep will be one's downfall."

-Dhr. Seven, quoting wise business advisors

SUTRA: right livelihood

How rich? I want my own rocket.

"Here in this Dharma (Doctrine), Vyagghapajja, a householder knowing one's income and expenses leads a well-balanced life, neither of extravagance nor of miserliness, knowing that one's income will exceed expenses, and expenses will not one's income.

"Just as the goldsmith or apprentice knows, on holding up a balance, that by this much has it tilted down or by that much it has tilted up, even so a householder, knowing one's income and expenses, leads a well-balanced life, neither of extravagance nor of miserliness, assuring that one's income exceeds one's expenses, not one's expenses one's income" (AN 8.54).

Right livelihood's relation to the other factors of the path

Is it good to give our time? Yes, volunteer.

"How is right view the forerunner [of the path to enlightenment]? One discerns (knows and sees) wrong livelihood as wrong livelihood, right livelihood as right livelihood.

"What is wrong livelihood? Scheming, persuading, hinting, belittling, and pursuing gain with gain, this is wrong livelihood...

"One abandons wrong livelihood and enters upon right livelihood: This is one's right effort.

"One is mindful to abandon wrong livelihood to enter and remain in right livelihood: This is one's right mindfulness.

"Thus, these three factors — right view, right effort, and right mindfulness — revolve around right livelihood" (MN 117).

Wrong livelihood for lay Buddhists

Lie, cheat, steal!

"A lay follower abstains from five types of business. What are those five? One abstains from [trade, commerce, attempting to profit from]

1. business in weapons,
2. business in human beings (exploitation, buying and selling humans, prostitution),
3. business in flesh (meat),
4. business in intoxicants (alcohol and drugs of abuse), and
5. business in poison" (AN 5.177). More

The Best Democracy Money Can Buy (free download from Greg Palast)

.

U.S. elections are rigged? Guess investigative journalist Greg Palast has been right all along. Democrats hate democracy and love power as much as GOP Republicans: One party goes from the "bad guys" to the other.

All cursed Kennedys before long become Dead Kennedys, like the classic punk band noticed.

DKs vocalist Jello Biafra

Democrats won't stand for a populist leader reminiscent of beloved JFK, assassinated by the CIA and it unindicted coconspirators. Republicans wouldn't mind rigging vote counts if it meant having Trump back. What a mess. We've never been a real democracy, just one in name only (nominal).

We are not like the ancient Buddhist system (the Buddha devised for the running of Buddhist monastic communities of self-governed nuns and monks), the Greek system that seems founded on that earlier model, or European predecessors to our corrupted system checks and imbalances.

The country is ashamed and embarrassed by senile Biden, humiliated and horrified by Trump, and now another Kennedy has risen to prominence -- and the powers that be won't stand for it. We have a one-party system with two wings, left and right. It's the Money Party and it won't stand for Greens, Independents, Libertarians, the People's Party, or anyone else.

The purpose of the Money Party is to make money, and WAR makes money
