    you'd have to do a lot of things wrong to lose 450 million dollars. if you were the only winner.

    but then again, add in inflation and 30 years from now, it'll be gone if you squander the money.

    I wouldn't never have that problem because I am a practical person by nature. I'd build me a dream home; (not a micheal jordan, compound), but a practical place; a practical car and buy some cloths.

    The things I like to do don't cost a million dollars a night. Like i would never spend a week at a hotel for 20 million dollars getting pampered. That's just plain dumb.

    But hey; Micheal Jackson was pretty much flat broke once he died; so it can happen to anybody; not just the uneducated.

    1) I would write a blank check to my parents and by grandma
    2) I would travel the world and make a documentary of basketball and sports and how they bring people together even with language barriers.
    3) I would start a charity for educating and saving children in the slums of the world.
    4) I would buy 3-6 condos/houses in the most exotic beautiful places around the world.
    5) I would make investments and start a business.
    6) Season tickets to the Rockets and Texans.
    7) Lay low and just explore what life really is and continue my pursuit for happiness.
    8) I would make sure to stay humble and nice to people of all types of life.

    Thats because the decimal number is too big to fit on the calculator screen. Whatever number it gives you, move the decimal over to the left how many times according to the number that is to the right of "E-".

    1/175,000,000 = 5.714 E-09 = 0.000000005714

    Thank you for your opinion kind sir. I would put most of the money in the bank and a portfolio. I would make sure to hire a good team of financial advisors and accountants. I would not really buy to many toys my man. Plus I am 21 years old, and mainly just want to life a good, happy life. I will make sure I will not go poor, but I will take care of the ones that have took care of me throughout my life.

    Based on number of tickets sold 8 or 9 people should win.

    Yup, there will be winner(s) tonight.

    CNN reports that if there is no winner tonight, the jackpot will increase to a whopping $975 million.

    Also reports Canadians driving through the borders just to buy tickets :mad:

    If nobody wins, do these tickets get recycled for the next drawing?

    I would imagine this is the last drawing. All the numbers combinations have been used up and they know which stores sold the winning ticket(s).

    First time ever playing the lotto and I looked like a ****ing idiot.

    Had to get back in line twice because I didn't know what the hell I was doing.

    accidentally filled out 7 numbers on one of my picks

    My dumb ass tried to pay with a credit card so I could get reward points...

    I was the laughing stock for a good Hour at the local 'stop in shop'

    When I win... when I get this Scrooge McDuck Paper... I'll teach them to laugh at me... I'll show them all....
