If i win everyone in here gets 10,000..from this point on you don't count.
So who is buying a Powerball ticket?
- Thread starter Robcatt24
- Start date
If I win it tonight. Everyday, I'm going to call my bank at the local branch and I am going to ask them my balance just so I can hear them say to me "Willy, you have $250,6550,355.68," Then I'm going to tell the person, "Yes, yes, I do"
I'd have it delivered in a truck and then with armed security guards outside my house, I'd all dump it in the living room, look at it and then Scrooge McDuck that SOB.
I would purchase midgets as servants and then have them ride around on big dogs as if they were horses and have them perform dinner theater like Medieval Times.

Dude, you're killing me.
Bought my first ticket in years last Wed. Bought another today. It's nice to daydream, but damn, if I actually won the shock would probably kill me.
I really hope you win and post a video of the Medieval Times reenactment.I'd have it delivered in a truck and then with armed security guards outside my house, I'd all dump it in the living room, look at it and then Scrooge McDuck that SOB.

Wrong. We didn't even match one number.
Unless website has wrong numbers I did not win. :sunglasses:
There's a whole population of midgets that hope I win. With my new midget dinner theater, they'd no longer have to worry about playing elves in Hallmark Christmas movies as their only means of income.
Not sure I really want to win THAT much money. Winning several million and getting to retire early sounds like fun. Becoming an instant billionaire does not sound like fun. Sounds more like a curse when you think about it.
I'll likely still play and hope I get one of the smaller cash payouts. Matching the five numbers but not the powerball gets you a cool million. That would be sweet.

1.3 billion would give you about 560 million take home after taxes if you take the cash option. You could probably get a pretty good tax break when you announce you are going to build a badass arena for the Wildcats on the UK campus.
Or you could spend a 100 million or so to renovate Rupp and use a big chunk to buy the Yum Center and rename it Welcome Everyone - Stand Up and Cheer Kids arena, or something to that effect.
Whatever you do when you win, I will have six dollars invested by the next draw and if you could see it in your heart to give that money back to me, I would say nice things about you on the interweb.

I won 4 dollars on my 2 dollar ticket going to let it ride towards the 1.3 billion
My wife will divorce me, but I would take the annuity. At 1.5B, that is a cool $50M a year for 30 years. If I just live three years, that is $200M (you get $50M up front, and 50 more for 29 more years). It would give me time to plan taxes (including estate taxes), set up foundations, arrange to buy an island or two, etc. You can say you could die, but even if I did, $50M is more money by a huge margin than I ever expect to see in this lifetime, and you don't just give away hundreds of millions off the top in taxes. And if you did die sooner, rather than later, estate taxes would take another huge chunk out of it.
You could also buy yourself a number of very high term life policies, like 20 separate $5M policies, paying your beneficiaries a cool $100M if you kick the bucket in the first couple of years. And if you happen to live a long time, you are a certified billionaire!

It is not 50 mil for 30 years. It balloons with time.
Usually I say don't do that but it would not be bad with the amount. Concern is lottery going broke. See Illinois.
That is good to know, once I win on Wed night, I will check back in for investment advice. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
All kidding aside, has anyone else considered that winning a lottery of this size could be equivalent to Gollum finding the One Ring to rule them all? Might be a curse instead of a blessing.
Like what do you even do with that type of money? Obviously I'm not working a **** job anymore and you'll get a baller house but you're pretty much expected to create some type of business or empire with that type of dough.
Do you buy/create a freaking record label or movie studio? Part owner of a sports franchise?
Those are numbers I can't comprehend. I don't even make six figures. [laughing]
If I seriously won it, I would tell no one not advertise it. I'd buy the house near the beach away from everyone, buy the midgets, pay Vince McMahon to let me be on the WWE creative team, maybe try to get some type of control at ESPN just to fire Skip Bayless and Stephen Smith. Create my own brewery and fund a ton of straight to DVD action movies staring myself and
@Willy4UK in a reboot of the Tango and Cash franchise.
Then just give a huge chunk away to people I know who would need it, are good people and work hard.

At current interest rates, taking the annuity would be downright stupid.
I always like to think about how my life would change if this were to occur.
1) Love my company, but I wouldn't work for one second after I won. In fact, my company intranet portal has a place where you can resign. I'd likely hire somebody to click on the link for me the moment I confirmed it really happened.
2) They say the move is to take a very long vacation the moment you win, and not buy anything big until the vacation is over. That way you kind of get used to having the flow. I'd be out for a year. I'd move the family to Colorado and ski until April. Then I'd uproot the children again and move to Hawaii until next December. Stability is important for children, but they'll be screwed up anyway since they'll be so stinkin' rich it doesn't matter.
3) Once my year-long vacation is over, I'd present a ten-year annuity totalling $3M to my parents and brothers, $500K to my cousins and aunts/uncles, and $250K to extended family / good friends. But with that annuity comes a contract. And the contract states "if you bring up money or even a business proposal to me over the course of the next ten years, the annuity is cut off immediately."
4) I'd play Augusta - a lot.

1.3 billion dollars allows for stupidity. I think the pot is big enough now that my brother could win it and die with at least 500 bucks in the house.
You know that place just smells like a mixture of glitter, ******, body spray and *****.
So, basically the same as Minardi Hall?
No, just a roommate if you choose to move in. But it is a roommate that can throw a hell of a party.

Until he ***** himself in the kitchen and you're the only guy there.... No nursing work and that is one hell of a deal.
I'd hire a busty 20 something year old in home nurse/maid to take care of him and me. Win/win on all angles I can see.
Or maybe he still has 2-3 girlfriends running around that can clean up. Either way I think I could handle it.
Man, we both know that ain't happening. Those girls wouldn't let their 5 inch heels get 1 square mile away from Hef's doo doo squirts.
Just think of the Yoda/ Luke relationship you could have. Learning the ways of the force might be worth cleaning up a little ****.
This is really the best and smartest post of all. You could fund an additional $7M per year for 10 years for a total of $70M. That, added to the $3M we currently spend, would give us $10/year to buy Saban. I'd prefer to go with Urban Meyer, but Saban would work.
If it worked out, you'd be a hero in this state.
Everyone knows the guy with blue tinted glasses behind the UK bench. If I win I will be the guy in front of him with white tinted glasses.
