Germstore posted:There's no legit way to buy lotto tickets outside the states that participate in powerball. Apparently some mob has gotten licenced or some poo poo to sell tickets for international lotteries. Been on the news here and everything. Not like I'm gonna win anyway, so it doesn't really matter if my 30 bucks went to a legit thing or scammers lol

soy posted:uhh your odds are nowhere close to that with 100 tickets in powerball It was $300 worth of tickets so that's 150 tickets. With your fuzzy math someone would buy 100,000,000 tickets but have a 1 in 192,201,338 shot of winning!  That's US gov't budget math / hollywood accounting. boom boom boom posted:I'm surprised it's not 1.6 Billion yet. It hit 1.4 two days ago and 1.5 yesterday Lottery officials are probably pocketing the overflow at this point.

The last giant rear end Powerball we had someone in my county won it. She is currently spending millions on bailing her boyfriend out of jail on heroin charges and is in jail today!

 You can't win if you don't play Get your tickets early! i must say tho, the best thing about working in a quiet office mostly full of antisocial millennial nerds/basic bitches/autisticks is no lottery pool and the annoying poo poo that it carries along. ive stopped going to the conveinence store on the way in tho because i cant even imagine how many losers and old ppl are backing up the line to get their Quick Pics and Mega Millions. if the government was smart theyd orchestrate this poo poo around the time all the tax rebate checks get sent out.

OK I finally played the lottery for the first time in my life. I'm glad to be a part of this  experience. Also, hahaha you can't play the lottery in anything but cash, because of course you can't People with "good credit" and "debit cards attached to large accounts" don't play the lottery

People would just absolutely max out everything buying them as soon as they were granted any credit at all. Probably buying scratchers.

If I win the lottery, I really don't know what I'll do. It's so much cash. I just don't know what I'd do. I really can't fathom not having money concerns since my husband's active duty military and we've moved cross-world 6 times in 10 years.

The winner will be part of a pool consisting of 10 people. However, the previous drawings had 12 people and they won a few bucks and flipped that around into more tickets. Now the two people who didn't invest in this pool will sue on the basis that their contribution to the previous lower-prize winning pool were flipped into the jackpot winning pool and they are entitled to 1-8% each of the total winnings. It will drag out in court for months until a settlement is reached where someone who just wants their loving money gives them a fraction of their winnings to just get on with their lives.

Zogo posted:Lottery officials are probably pocketing the overflow at this point. When it gets this huge, what they should do is start funneling it off into a separate jackpot at the $1B mark. People are still going to play for only $1B, BUT once that is won, you've instantly got another ongoing jackpot of of maybe $300-$500M which could easily climb back up to $1B within a few weeks from the momentum.

I like the idea of the cash payout getting higher than 1 billion after tax. Just imagine opening your bank account and it has a billion dollars in it. Would your bank just explode? I know how FDIC insurance works but can you even have that much in an account? loving god drat.

A bank failing with your $1B will be like a real world version of when Rockstar resets your GTA Online account when they think its full of money from some exploited money hack. You didn't work for the money, you got it really easily, and *poof* it's all gone. edit: At least I still have my cars and apartment.

FDIC only covers $250,000 per account. But that's per bank, and per type of account. You could easily get a few million insured by spreading it across multiple banks and accounts. You probably wouldn't put the vast majority of the money in a bank though.

I am assuming they give you a huge fuckoff check and you gotta put that somewhere before sending it to your investment accounts or whatever.

However, from the FDIC webpage, there is this: https://www.fdic.gov/deposit/deposits/brochures/your_insured_deposits-english.html You have to split it between several different banks (and not branches of the same bank) and under multiple types of ownership categories to maximize your protection. I guess you'd also have to run the risk of future bank mergers that might end up consolidating your insurance coverage to a fraction of itself, too.
