Not to hijack this thread, but SavageX, If you fixed the bug in FR where if you have the sniper rifle zoom on and you die, and you are still zoomed in when you respawn, that would be great. You could do it pretty easily ;)

I know that you believe you understand what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

why not, in some countries, the money won in a lottery is alot less, but it is all given out in one go.

He's known about that for a while, believe me. I'm one of the beta testers who noticed it and told him. :) (At least... I think I told him.)

About this lottery thing... I suppose worse people could have won it. It sounds like she struck a balance between paying off debts, helping her friends, and buying herself a little expensive present. Much better than the bozos that win and then blow all their money on houses and cars and end up more broke than when they started. :p

Not to hijack this thread, but I love Total.

[EDIT:] before this meesage gets deleted, I'll add something legit: don't they have a law against winning money over that amount twice?

There is no "lottery" tax. There is a "gift" tax for any amount of money that is given over $11,000 (I think)
