If I win the Mega Millions tonight I will.....

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

 

...wonder at the miracle of how I won without wasting money on tickets.

 

I'd buy the Pacific Ocean.

 

i would "shower" your moms with "gifts."

 

The very first thing I'd do is give my mom a blank check and wish her a happy retirement.

 

Or hire a bunch of fat midgets to do it, that way it'd be more humiliating for the guys here.

 

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.

 

Fixed.

 

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...

 

Updated. The jackpot is now $500 million.

Cash option is $359 million.

You guys understand that your chances of winning the lottery is technically 0 right?

 

NO ****ING WAY!

 

What is Vince Young up to these days?

 

so do u all pick your own numbers or let the machine pick for you?

 

^^
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.

 

Join the hype. Don't be a Debbie Downer.

 

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.

 

I had no idea.

Thanks for the info.
