It is about 280 to 320 million cash after taxes. Depending on which state.

700 million is if you take 30 yearly payments.

It ranges from 10 million a year at the start and then finishes up near 50 million.

Office pool. I don't care what the odds are, no chance I'm going to be the one left working.
Can't wait to see which one of you all turns to a life of meth and collecting trans ams when you win. GL!
I was thinking about this earlier. Let's say every teacher/assistant/lunch lady/custodian at my school buys into a pool. That's about 65 people. Going with the cash option and planning for hefty taxes, every grown up at the elementary school has at least 4 million in the bank. I'd probably show up Monday to prove I'm not a completely awful person, but I'd say about half would disappear as soon as their cut hit the bank.
You know what, in this litigious society, I'd probably not show up. Parents will be telling their kids to jump off the monkey bars hoping to get some money out of it.

If I win it. I'm going to give a good portion away. Then I'll go travel world first class. Smoking meth on every continent
It's meth.
Office pools used to win a lot. Not sure what has happened but individuals have been winning more lately. Lady from Florida was 80, showed up in a ford focus, had never played before, and bought about ten bucks worth, walked out with 280 million. I run the office pool and lots of people always owe me. Maybe when we win I will get the 100 bucks or so they owe me.
Closest my wife's pool was 1 number away from 50k each. Ended up with $500 as a whole group
There will be so many playing this time that a winner is likely. Maybe multiple winners. Especially if lots of numbers are below 32. Birthday numbers often lead to multi winners.
If you win 9-10 Million, your gonna give a **** about $100?
You might wanna treat your Dad to his own Netflix account first...
Ha ha ha, is gold plating your testicles considered a "thing"
Joking.
The point is when you run the office pool for 20 people. And 3 have consistently stiffed you including this last time. Are you one of the office stiffers?
Actually think its a great idea. Was it a freak accident thing? Or does gold plating your testicles actually kill ya? Don't waana be the first of anything.
I was too. Fantasy Football Commissioner for 10 years... I felt like I had to get a couple mobsters to make the tightwads fork up their cash. Douchebags.
If I win the lottery, nothing so trivial will matter.
Why do I feel like your adventure would start out like this?
And end like this ?
Ha ha ha ha, dude you nailed it
It's always the same types that win these things.
They're either already rich or they're a convicted felon or they're old as ****.

I have a brother that could win Saturday night and he would be bankrupt inside of 5 years.
I'd say there's a huge population like that.
I remember when I lived in Ashland, this redneck criminal, David Lee Edwards, won the lottery. He would go to the mall and to Wal-Mart in a limousine and dressed in a trench coat. He bought some big house in Florida and lost it within five years. He also got a personal jet and so many cars his house looked like a car lot.
He was a meth-head though and died with no money after getting HIV.

Who could have foreseen this guy going bankrupt and having a problem with drugs?
Oh, this is how it turned out for him.
About a total of 5 in my office are not in the office pool. Now I am getting paranoid because I am one of them. I guess if they win it would be a great time to ask for a huge raise since I would have to cover a lot of areas for awhile.
You'll never forgive yourself if they win. That's why I always had to go in with office pools because no way in hell am I going to be the guy stuck with the **** job while they're living like Oprah.
Let's start a paddock pool. I really want to see willy crash and burn on crushed xanax at a hostel in brussells.
It could be like the game clue. Willy in brussells with the xanax. Willy in nepal with the opiates. It would always be willy.

Not my brothers problem. He would have lots of toys.
The guy in WVA that won on Christmas day a few years back died broke. He won over 200 million. He got hit in head by stripper while he had a briefcase with over a half million dollars in it. That is not what killed him.
If you win, tell the folks who didn't pay to touch off.

That guy had a load of problems. He was totally cursed. I think a lot of people around him died as well. Very weird thing. West Virginia is sure as hell one place you don't want to announce that you're crazy rich.
But as far your brother, definitely not implying he would be into drugs; just saying a lot of people can't manage money and they buy stupid crap. Athletes and rappers seem to be total morons when it comes to their money and buy jets. Very few people can afford the maintenance of a freaking jet.
But yeah, my wife and I have siblings who would piss it away. They are in their late 30s and still can't manage money. Oh, you can't pay your mortgage this month but you had money to go play cards and buy a four wheeler? Unbelievable
I wouldn't even buy stupid toys. I just don't want to be around many people and work a pointless job. I'd be like Daniel Plainview and get enough money to get away from everyone.
