Lottery, gambling, whatever thread

Holy cripes ... no one won the Megamillions ... it's up to $1.6billion ... with the cash option of $904million???? Holy cripes ... I honestly would be afraid of winning that at this point.

 

But yeah, okay, I'll still buy a ticket.

 

But holy cripes. Seriously. What would you do with that? After giving away as much as I could to family and friends, there would still be tons left ... even after giving millions to charity, which I would do ... or pay off peole's hospital bills or buy an entire building and dedicate it for homeless families or elderly ... or ... sheesh ... I wouldn't know where to begin or where to end.

I don’t do this, but if I did and won probably endow scholarships in the humanities.

I would go completely off the grid. No one except immediate family and the team of lawyers/financial advisors needed to keep the money safe would know I won. Winning that amount of money is a curse.

BTW, there is no way only one person is winning this jackpot. It'll be split between 4-5 different people.

What time is the deadline today? I'm buying a few for good measure, could be worth the 2 dollars...

Central time I think it's 10pm?

 

I bought 2 of each ... my standard when it gets to the 100s of millions mark ... and I remember to do so. Usually it's worth a few bucks for the imagination.

A small investment like that is worth the 2 days of build up to eventual let down.
