Buying a lottery ticket is actually tax deductible since you can claim it as a donation to education, but only up to a certain amount I think like $100 a year.
So, uh, supposedly nobody won. Early estimates/rumors I've seen is that the jackpot goes up to 470,000,000. http://www.usamega.com/
Maybe we should start a clutchfans lottery pool. Everybody pay 10 each and if we have enough to beat the odds. We can distribute the winning evenly to whoever participate.
Friday Mega Millions jackpot rewrites the record books as the largest lottery prize the world has ever seen Jackpot may grow even larger before Friday By Todd Northrop There will be a lot of daydreaming going on this week around America. Dreaming about what it would be like to win nearly a half-billion dollars. That's because Tuesday's Mega Millions jackpot did not produce a winner, sending the game into uncharted territory. The new jackpot for Friday, March 30, 2012 — $476 million — has officially broken the record for the largest lottery jackpot ever offered worldwide. And if past ticket sales are any indication of what will happen this weekend, the jackpot may get bigger — much bigger — by the time the drawing kicks off. Doubtless, there will be a rush of media pundits clamoring to cite the tiny chance each player has of winning. There will probably be a thousand different analogies designed to explain how small the chances are. Maybe someone will compare it to the odds of getting hit by lightning while at the same time being eaten by a shark. But no matter how hard they try to convince people to resist the urge to play, the pundits are up against a simple fact: there is enough money at stake to make even the most pessimistic person fork over a buck or two at the lottery ticket counter this week. To get an idea of how many tickets are being sold, the Mega Millions jackpot estimate was raised a staggering $113 million in just one drawing. It normally takes at least 9 consecutive drawings to raise the jackpot by that amount. Likewise, the lump-sum cash option of Friday's jackpot is $341.4 million — an increase of $81.6 million from Tuesday. Unimaginable. from Lotterypost.com
Would have houses in Houston, LA, one on a tropical island. Courtside seats for Rockets and Clippers. I'd build basketball courts and soccer fields. Buy some hot chicks to play games there, the offical game attire would be bikinis&strings. Every two months there'd be a "No Clothes All-Star Game".The league would have daily games and I'd have a chair in front of the showers. Get a hot model wife because apparently you can get any girl with enough money. Ohhhhh I can imagine it, glorious life
Went to the men>men on backpage for the lulz. Then I saw this: "Hopeless bromatic"-->paulftsk is that you?!
it would certainly be nice to have that kind of money. it would instantly **** your life tho. the initial emotion is of course elation, but it would easily turn into paranoia.
Well the expected value of a ticket even including taxes is greater than 1 so if you buy a lottery ticket it's not a suckers bet.
Hire a lawyer and a financial wizard. Take care of my family/friends. Disappear and travel everywhere. Donate a crap ton of it.
