Anomaly Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 As usual, I did not play. I used to play the number drawn type every couple of years for fun but would not want the drama with all that excess wealth. My wife and I would live off $400,000 a year for life, give our kids, siblings, parents, nieces and nephews between $60k to $10k a year for 30 years depending on their age. About $1,300,000 a year. The vast bulk and balance we would give away running a charity organization run by us, two family members, and three paid outsiders. All requests would go through our charity board review. That way we could turn down people but after review by board. It's may be easier to say NO, others with greater need came first. We are well aware that a couple of family members would never be satisfied and would be homeless and angry if given $5,000 a month for life. So we don't play...

dUSt Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 But think of the cathedral one could build in their diocese with that amount of money... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 The jackpot is now 1.3 BILLION. The highway billboards can handle that number - the show 1.3, with BILLION in red lighted letters below it. But the Handy Pantry sign doesn't have that capability - they show 999 MILLION. I guess you have to talk to the blue-haired lady behind the counter to find out the actual number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And BTW, I buy only one ticket for any given drawing, and the jackpot has to be over 100 million. Cuz I don't want to be a little bit rich - that really would be a bother. If I'm gonna be rich, I wanna be filthy, lousy, STINKIN' rich. I matched four numbers! I was so excited until I realized that I was looking at Lotto numbers and not Powerball. That is the ultimate bummer....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 At this point, I very well may buy one. One billion is a heck of a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
