I'm getting my 2 tickets tomorrow. I don't think I'll get five more.

@Dhedmo:

Can you imagine if that Powerball winner was a much more likable person, used all that money to run, and actually beat Trump? He'd be insanely furious. LOL

Transparency is necessary to ensure decent staff members get elected. Members need to know when staff are misbehaving, so members can be informed voters.

They should split the lottery up into multiple smaller draws when it gets this big.  I would play for 10 chances to win 200million in a second.  If nobody wins one of those then they can roll the missed numbers into the winning number.


Another interesting one:  You could purchase every number in the powerball with around 584 million bucks and guarantee a win. It looks like you would still come ahead in this one as long as nobody else won.

Welp,


I think its up to $1.5B now, prolly hit 1.6 or 1.7 before the draw tomorry.


Agreeing with Z etc....,


I think the Lotto People would get much more CONSISTENT players, if instead of very few ppl winning an obscenely large amount, if many people won a life-changing amount.


Maybe each week there would be 20 (twenty) winners, who would get a cool $5M (after taxes), or maybe even 40 (forty) winners of $2M after taxes.


If there was such a system, I would be willing to plop-down $2--$5 to play that game every week.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------


** Anyhoo, so the lump sum now would be close to $1B, after taxes. 


If you took just one-tenth of that, say $100M as your principle, and placed that in a typical bank savings account, at 1% interest compounded monthly, it would earn $1M every month.


Most would just let THAT ride and accrue, and after a year, you'd have:
$112682503

BUT, if you left the principle as it is, and had the monthly interest sent to another account (say your checking account, or account where your debit card draws from), you'd have a cool $1M each month just to fuck around with.

Plus, it would be a low-risk investment that would provide you with everything you could need.  No stock market volatility, high-risk/high-reward shit.  Just a good, stable income.

This is just something to play around with for the rest of your life, remember that the other $900M you can do some really cool shit with, like place it all on 27-Red at the Roulette Table in Vegas.

Its fun to fantasize about, isn't it?

The thought of living in Europe or other exotic locations around the world is enticing as well.  Of course, you would be the BIGGEST FUCKING TARGET for every half-bit, criminal/ kidnapper in the world.

I think even without kilograms of coke and meth to addle one's brain, the paranoia factor would be sky-high; and not much one could do to minimize the actual risk.
