This means that no Web site exists for this URL, even though someone owns it. If you care, you can find out who the owner of this nonexistent Web site is by going to the Whois function at Network Solutions or another registrant. Only two of these 184 auctions actually include existing Web sites - the rest of them are simply lottery ticket URLs. That's right - thirty million bucks. Try putting that in your business plan.
Nothing is sacred.
It's the new lottery. When you make that big bet on a URL and it pays off, you stand to make millions. Gambling income includes, but is not limited to, winnings from lotteries, raffles, horse races, and casinos, as well as the fair market value of prizes such as cars and trips. For now, the IRS doesn't classify the huge cash windfall that can come from the sale of a choice URL as gambling earnings. And if you sit at the high stakes table and register more than 2000 URLs in a month, they'll cut you in on a very special deal, which you can discuss with them in the secret room at the back of the casino.
