Lol thats what I would do. I'd either give one word answers or answer every question inappropriately. "What are you going to do with all the money you've won? Donate to charities?" "umm I'm going to pay a different girl, each day, for the rest of my life, to give me BJs everyday until I die." " *akward silence* Okay.....anything...else?" "Not really. I just want BJs." :grin:
Debbie Downers unite! (or, advice on what not to do if you win) link But yes, I am anti-lottery since it gives false hope and makes the poor poorer.
Poor mans tax... However, I'll be buying some shortly... Season tickets to all Houston teams and Cowboys and Stars... Donate to church, give friends and family $$$ and travel the world for about 6 months and then come back and chill...
I think the SciGuy (from the chronicle) put it best: when you buy a lottery ticket, you’re not really buying a chance to win. You’re buying a daydream. I don't mind paying a couple of dollars for a nice daydream.
Well, whomever wins is one lucky SOB. Or, is one cursed SOB if you look at it from the other side of it leading one to ruin. I would not come out to the public if I won. No way in hell.
It's more fun if your friends or office workers pool together. That's all we've been doing all week, just talking about what cool things we can do with the money.
I would buy a house and fill one room with 5 million in ones. Then, when I have guests over, I'd show them around my house and say "this room is where I keep 5 million in ones. Anytime I feel down, I just go here and swim in money"
The poor getting poorer is not the fault of the lottery...it's the stupidity of the poor. If you can't afford to play, then you shouldn't. Anyone who is struggling financially AND plays the lottery...well, that explains why they're in the position they are in.

Can you imagine how much people would hate it if someone famous who's already worth 10's of millions, like Justin Tuck or Shawne Merriman, won the jackpot?
Spending that much lottery tickets seems to make sense at face value, but stepping back it is even dumber than spending $25 bucks.
b*stard. Just reading this is making me feel depressed knowing my chances of winning are dropping significantly.
The money wouldn't change me that much. I'd buy a piece of land and built a house on it. Buy my immediate family houses and cars. Probably create trust funds for my family's kids. I'd probably use less than 10 million on myself, personally.
I would honestly give about half the jackpot to my parents. They deserve every penny. Then with the remaining money I would definitely invest it in business opportunities and find ways to multiply that money.
um, but obviously the more tickets that are sold the less chance you have at winning the whole jackpot.
Doesn't matter the number of tickets sold to win. There's a finite number of combinations and only one combination is the winning number. So... 1:175 million. Didn't notice that you said whole jackpot. Let's say 10 people chose the winning number and you were one of them. I think 35-40M is enough to last a lifetime.
Multiply that money? Seriously that's more than enough to even waste investing. I would make sure I never make any business calls / meetings for the rest of my life.
