Retire Move the wife and my family out of Houston By an island Buy some new collar stays Get Band of Brothers on Blue Ray Buy another lotto ticket
Depends on if you get 5 numbers right and miss the powerball...or get 4 numbers right and hit on the power ball. Either way, you miss one number, but the payout is 250k for one and 10k for the other.
Invest the vast majority in low risk funds Buy a nice, but modest home and maybe a 2nd modest home near water Buy a boat Travel a ton Buy my parents a nice home for retirement Give a bit to close friends Donate enough to Clutchfans for whatever upgrades Clutch needs Find worthy causes to donate Even a few hundred million is not going to shift the global manufacturing landscape to increase our domestic manufacturing. You'd make more money by offshoring the manufacturing and then paying those people you laid off to get educated in something that we are more efficient at as a nation. You make more money, we increase our workforce in areas of efficiency. I digress...

^^ Always picm my own numbers, doesn't feel right otherwise. Have certain numbers and combinations that look good for me, wouldn't want it otherwise.
For the Texas lotto, I use numbers from fortune cookies that my wife and I both received within a week of dating that both had the same fortune that was very appropriate to our relationship. But now that I've been told that the chances of actually winning a lotto jackpot are quite low, I doubt we'll play any longer.
It's only technically 0 if you don't buy a ticket. It's technically 0.00000057% for each ticket bought.
I think I heard the chances are the same of me saying, call me on the phone and you will win the jackpot. But you have to guess the phone number.
