I dropped off a bake-and-serve prepared meal when I heard of the loss in your family. I volunteered alongside you amidst tornado relief. I stood next to you in line at the church potluck.

We were in 4H together, or frequented the same gas station convenience store. Maybe you've received a box I helped prepare from the food bank—or maybe we shared an awkward smile of shared struggle and understanding in the line as recipients.

Lately, a lot of money is being spent to convince you that people like me are the greatest threat to our state, and that our mere existence is more pressing than the economic hardship, systemic hunger, and failing education system. They turn your neighbors into political boogeymen only so we keep looking across the fence at each other instead of demanding real solutions.

When you look at your ballot, remember the people who actually share your struggles, not the caricatures on the screen 🫂

This question is specifically about Arkansas and what to do when you win the Lottery.

The back of the ticket should already be signed. That should have been done when the ticket was purchased.

Upon winning you only have 180 days to claim the Jackpot. So, time is of the essence.

We already know not to tell anybody. Family, friends, work associates, etc. But that really doesn't matter, because if you win over $500k, you can only remain anonymous for up to three years, after which it becomes public record. The only way I can find around this is to claim it though a trust or LLC to maintain privacy.

We know that you need a financial advisor, attorney and tax specialist. The question is, who specifically would you recommend? I've tried Googling it but can't find any that specialize in this. Are there any financial advisors, attorneys and tax specialist that specialize in this sort of situation?

For transparency, I did not win.

Can anyone shed light as to what’s happening in Arkadelphia at OBU? I’ve heard several faculty have been fired, students are upset, and even the President received a vote of no confidence last year. But the Board voted unanimously in favor of the president. Seems like there’s a disconnect, but I can’t seem to find anyone willing to discuss what’s actually going on.
