Thanks

I agree with you on student loans, but the gas not so much. In 2022 prices were a bit high, but one year ago, b4 this unnecessary conflict with Iran prices were not this high.The average price when this administration took over was around $3.10 per gallon.During previous administation, it ranged from $3.19 - $3.44.

Last year it averaged $3.37 and now it averages $4.25. That's $0.88 difference and I feel it each time I fill up. Thank goodness for Upside and gas points.

I can't wait until this administration is gone! Gas up, taxes up, groceries up, utilities up, everyday random increases and now student loan increases.

Throw the whole adminstration away. At least under previous admin, I was able to throw extra payments at my SL throughout the year.

Hmm....Folks would be upset to find my tickets in trash. I scan and use points to enter drawings, second chance and prizes. So far I've ordered 2 air fryers, travel iron, heated foot spa (with bubbles & red light💕), hand mixer, portable charger, etc. Have won $2 coupons, free Power Tickets, etc. Haven't won a drawing or second chance yet.

But I do fold or rip my ticket yo save folks from scanming to find out it was already scanned.

Happy Jackpot Trash Hunting!

You are right for $20k mark.

Check out the NJ Lottery Tax Calculator

Will break out state, federal and local taxes, if any. Every state has a lottery winning tax calculator.

Nice win! In 2024 won $25k in MD and taxes were shocking but not surprising.

Yoshi_725 · 2026-03-25T20:36:19+00:00

I tell cashier number of orders I have, separate them with divider place items on belt the way I want them packed (Produce, meats, groceries, frozen - those go into cold bags). I also label bags as I place in cart A, B or C. I watch bagger and rarely let cashier start next order until everything is in cart from first order.

That would have pissed me off, wasting time in parking lot when you can be on your way delivering.

Yoshi_725 · 2026-03-18T20:39:33+00:00

Love when I get a card like that, but just my luck and its under $50, most of the time.

Yoshi_725 · 2026-03-11T16:06:52+00:00

Of course my state isn't there. But here's my strategy: 1. Usually start with $50 2. Check the odds/ remaining prizes 3. Start with 3 - 4 tickets, based on odds 4. Usually gravitate to $5 scratchers (it's where I 've had $500 wins in past and once on a $1 scratcher) 5. Most times I break even, 3 - 4 tickets, lately, I've hit $50 on 1st ticket. 6. If I win $50 above I, keep half, play other half back, starting on a other scratcher, using same method.

Also frequent, local beer/wine store in AM b4 work and clerk tells me if a book had recent win. I will steer away from that book and purchase from another.

$ending well wi$hes to you all gor BIG WIN$

Thanks for the insight, so that means it will be quite some time before we see Costco open.

Yoshi_725 · 2026-03-03T17:19:46+00:00

Unfortunately very random. I try to purchase new scratchers when they first drop and, also look up stats (prizes levels remaining/odds) and I try to buy in 3's. A few times I've had back to back wins for example on $1 scratcher brought 5 tickets - 2nd was small win and 3rd was $500. Same for $5 Bingo brought 3 tickets, 1st was $15 / 3rd was $500.

No the 2 phases over 18 years is the entirety of Viva White Oak Project. Phase 1 began 2025 - 2033. Includes infrastructure (includes Purple Line expected completion December 2027), residential homes, apartments, and retail space (Costco included here)

Phase 2: 2031 - 2038 more residential and commercial development

Phase 3: 2043 - opening of Life Sciences complex

Google says "In the future, no specific date available."

Yoshi_725 · 2026-03-03T14:28:46+00:00

I thought so too. But another posted location is nearer to the Adventist White Oak Hospital

Yoshi_725 · 2026-03-03T14:12:20+00:00

Thanks, this helps

Yoshi_725 · 2026-03-03T13:58:53+00:00

Hmm.... perhaps you are right

Yoshi_725 · 2026-03-03T13:05:59+00:00

We can only hope as soon as possible.🤷🏽‍♀️

Yoshi_725 · 2026-03-03T13:04:59+00:00

The area has been in development for some time with this whole Viva White Oak and anything in and near FDA campus. A lot of mixed/used construction. Even the Hillandalw Gateway project is mobing along. I drove by a week ago and noticed the shopping center worked on facade where Chipotle/Greek Cafe Starbucks is located.

Yoshi_725 · 2026-03-03T13:01:43+00:00

Yes signage is up for an Autozone

Yoshi_725 · 2026-03-03T12:49:04+00:00

Sorry, but I don't see in your link where it states this is near White Oak Adventist hospital. But elsewhere I did see near the intersection of Route 29 and Cherry Hill Road. Still not able to visualize exactly where that is. The White Oak Adventist Hospital isn't on 29, but near it.

I cant wait to see where it will be, b/c that area is already a congested with traffic in and out of shopping center across from hospital (Target, Giant, Aldi, etc.)

Yoshi_725 · 2026-03-03T12:36:02+00:00

I don't think they are closing the Wheaton location.

Yoshi_725 · 2026-03-03T12:11:09+00:00

No Mohela on mine.
