Okay - minds out of the gutter! This coming Saturday the Powerball jackpot will be well over $500 million - perhaps the biggest jackpot in history! Depending on state taxes a single winner could net $250 million and more. For fun - name three things you would do with the money. No saying "charity" as that's a given knowing all the wonderfully giving people who visit this site.
I know the odds are one in a bazillions but the fact is - someone DOES win!
I believe when it was at 9 million, they said the lump sump payout after taxes would be around 5 million - that's still a heck of a lot of cabbage!
Glad, It would be just like you to share all that $$$. It would be a full time job just managing it all!
Me, I could play for years and never win, and at a casino the "fun" would only last as long as it took to put my money in the slot. I always figured I may as well toss quarters in the toilet and flush, but then there wouldn't be flashing lights and bells lol!
And yes, I bought my tickets. I figure someone has to win, and I can't win if I don't play. I won't really regret buying a few tickets - we're not talking spending hundreds on them here, not even $20 - but I would definitely regret it if my numbers won and I didn't play them.
Did you hear about any riots in the lotto lines yet?
07. Number of times you'll recheck this ticket before accepting you never had a chance.
25 Number of years you'll have to continue working at your awful job.
35 Number of car payments you still have to make.
45. How many dollars you presently have in checking account
69. Number of major life mistakes you've made that led to a near-impossible lotto win being your only hope for a debt-free existence.
...meh.
And have an animal sanctuary.... all kinds of animals... because I would own that mountain I live on....
I would have a picture taken with me laying in all that money, and send it to my two Ugly Sisters, with a note saying... OHH, but you should have been nicer people.....
I would have to help people somehow... I have been helped so much in my life that not paying it forward , well, I just could not do that... This would be another big list.
I would travel. I have always wanted to go to Switzerland. And anywhere else I wanted to go... I would get a Harley and have a grizzly biker dude be my driver !!! Oh man... when we come down from this we are sure going to be cranky... lol
One thing I do know is that, for me, a brain without a functioning body must be like a prison sentence. A functioning body but no brain is a prison sentence for those around me. Nope I just don't want to grow old. in fact I would settle at being able to take a pill on my 75th birthday (or earlier depending on my health levels) and then say bye bye world, it was fun while it lasted
