A person with a ticket matching all six Powerball numbers in Saturday’s $1.3 billion jackpot came forward Monday to claim the prize, Oregon officials said.
The lottery ticket was purchased at a Plaid Pantry convenience store in the northeast part of the city, Oregon Lottery said in a statement.
Oregon Lottery is working with the person in a process that involves security measures and vetting that will take time before a winner is announced.
“This is an unprecedented jackpot win for Oregon Lottery,” Oregon Lottery Director Mike Wells said in the statement. “We’re taking every precaution to verify the winner before awarding the prize money.”
Nonsense. It’s entirely relative.
Per year is regular for a medical checkup.
Per year is not regular for eating an egg salad sandwich. Especially when it is an average of once per year and not definitely once per year.
Is getting a medical checkup a habit? If so, is it a vice? Because, again, I don’t deny I have habits. I’m denying I have vices.
Nothing in the definition says anything about relative. You are applying your interpretation to the definition. But everyone can have a different interpretation. So you can’t do that and still be “technically” correct.
Are you seriously claiming that having, on average, one egg salad sandwich a year is both a habit and a vice?
Pretty sure I never said anything specific about egg salad. But yeah, English sucks. Technically it is a habit.
No, I said something specific about egg salad, on average, once per year and you said it is a habit.
Me:
You:
So basically everything anyone could possibly do from swallowing a thumbtack to dying of listeria is a habit.
I keep trying to tell you that english is a shifty language. I believe you can exclude one time events if you dig into the definitions of the words used in the definition of habit. But that is probably the technical limit of things truely excluded.
I see… So if you eat a plum when you’re 6 years old and then never eat another plum again until you’re 90, it’s not a one-time event, and therefore is a habit and a vice.
Yes on the habit technically. Thats a once every 45 year habit. But a vice? Well I don’t think eating a plum is bad for you unless you are allergic or something. So not a vice I think.
I don’t think you will find a single other person on this planet that would agree with you that doing something two times over the course of your entire life is a habit. Not one.
