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.”
Once a month on average is not a habit. A habit is a regular thing.
Sure it is. You regularly average one drink per month.
No? Some months I might have one drink, some months I might have three, some months I might have none at all. That’s what ‘on average’ means.
In other word, it is not habitual. It is occasional.
If you go to the movies five or six times a year, are you a habitual movie-goer?
You can try to change the word, but I am not falling for it. If you go to the movies 5 or 6 times a year, you have a habit of going to the movies. If you drink 5 or 6 glasses of poison a year, that would be a bad habit, and also a vice.
That is not what habit means.
Going to the movies 5 or 6 times a year is neither settled nor regular.
Now look up tendency. Any number range per year is a regular tendency. Per year is regular, and any nonzero number is tendency. The English language is shit. I before e except after c and several hundred other exceptions.
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?
