I wonder if the powerball is going to go even higher, 1.3 billion dollars is a lot of change, but you've given everyone 4 more days to spend their dollars at gas stations to drive that grand prize up even more. poo poo is god drat crazy. I think last year people freaked out when it was ~$600 million, and it ended up being split between three people, to which each got a solid 89 million or something.

gently caress, if one person were to win and if the actual lump sum payout was a billion dollars, that person is literally going to rise up to the .000001% or whatever class of richy rich mother fuckers that we house here in the land of the free.

That poo poo is scary to even think about especially if the individual is a loving idiot. The problem is, that usually when we hear about the powerball lottery winners who got 40-50 million and blow it in 5 years, this dude can easily live the life of an idiot spending millions a year for decades. And you know that he isn't gonna be like the people who win the 1 million/2 million dollar mini powerballs and "invest" that poo poo.

Hopefully they do some story on the person who wins. I'm going to invest in whatever retarded thing that they like to do if it's linked to a publicly traded company and just bank that he will pump ridiculous amounts of money into copenhagan or pall mall's, or try and see if i can get some ownership in the trucker strip joint that he'll be throwing hundreds in at fat strippers.

or if it's a fat woman, then I dunno because I don't really know what fat women do aside from eat and complain about their fibromyalgia and PCOS.

Dude will reach a climax of superiority but lifelessness with his newly obtained richness, will buy a tank, may end up owning people that live on his property and will ultimately shoot some dude which stems from a long history of family abuse, or huffing paint.
