ok i've been running a few iterations of the powerball simulator that was posted earlier. http://powerball-simulator.com/

if you select max speed the sim seem to run at about one year per second.

sim1 is using quick pick numbers and hit a million bux after 625 years. it's now at 35.5K years and has hit $10K 11 times but nothing bigger.

sim2 i picked the numbers and it's been running for 22.5K years and is a poor performer giving only 10K twice.

sim3 i started a few minutes ago and picked clown option 1 2 3 4 5 and powerball 6 and it hit a million in 52.4 years (less than a minute of sim time).

i'm suspicious of the RNG in this thing :raise:

also i was thinking about blowing 2bux on the next drawing but these simulations are really showing how futile the whole thing is so maybe i'll just buy a cookie instead.

So are sports franchises. The intangible assets involved in the purchase (which is a huge percentage of the total value) are tax deductible over like a decade. :ssh:

Hell, I wear a burka every day since it helps combat Islamophobia and subverts gender norms at the same time. I'm very forward thinking.

NE way, if I win the lotto, I'll hire Mr. Bungle to play the greatest hits of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, record it and then spread the tracks all over the internet in the hope that, eventually, the versions of the songs I recorded replace the originals in people's minds.

I'd probably go somewhere where money can really influence local elections and become some regional political kingmaker and grift my way from several hundred million to billions. Possibly get into construction, architecture & engineering and get myself no bid contracts, etc.

That powerball simulator is old and broken. The odds are different now and the grand prize will likely give 10-30 times more than $40,000,000 by Wednesday night. If you have infinite $$$ and infinite time you 100% want to play now.

If you really wanted to be a dick you could go into a real small town and buy out all the commercial property and shut it down then pay off the a chunk of the city council so rezoning public or residential area takes years.
