I love the people who win $100m and think they are going to stay in the same neighborhood. Enjoy the nightly kidnapping and extortion attempts. If I won I'd hire temporary security detail and rotate between hotels for a month. I'd probably have to pay off my family with settlements too. Here's what you get, upfront, don't ask me for money again.

If you are young and not close to family and friends I think it would be pretty baller. If you were all old and homesteaded to some midwestern town it would be pretty awful.

Little known pro tip: Ask the gas station attendant to print all 40 tickets on separate sheets. They knows it increases the odds. so keenly wink at them as you do so.

The machine was down at the gas station last night and multiple people in succession got really pissed off and accused the attendant of lying lol.

What are the rules regarding gifting money? If I come away with a half billion in cash and I want to straight up give 50 million to my brother, what's the procedure? I've always wondered where you even stash that kind of cash when it comes in. I'll just put the half billion in my checking and get my balance in a text and show it off. :getin:

It is $14,000 per recipient per year per spouse without triggering any taxes.

I'd play craps all day every day. Endless sucker bets and free buffets and drinks. Still just the $5/$10 tables but do it at Casino Royale and play 1000x odds.

There was a guy that played work pool every week for years and was out on sick leave when his coworkers won. He successfully sued for a share based on the persistence of his past participation. :unsmith:

I honestly have no idea what I'd do. Like im at a point in my life where I want a job and to work to feel value, but at the same time I could easily see myself just wasting space and having lots of money for the next 70 years.]

The only thing I know for sure is, 1 debts paid off, make sure i give as much to my parents as I can that isn't tax deductable and make sure they're taken care of for the rest of their lives.

Being a philanthropist would be incredibly sick. Going to free $500 meals and donating money to seemingly humanitarian causes would be a job in itself.

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 just think it would be funny.

I would just hire Mr. Bungle to play Mr. Bungle. That would be sweet.

I was thinking of starting a company that basically does debt consolidation. The rub is, you have to move into a dormitory (which you must pay for, but is pretty cheap and basic) and all of your expenses are tracked in detail and you must meet with a counselor once a month to keep things on track for repayment.

Basically a voluntary debtors prison except you can leave to work.

Also if you try to bail before you finish repayment then there's some contract that basically you are hosed forever in the harshest possible way.

I actually would buy old hotels and turn them into free transitional housing for the homeless and unemployed.

Not to mention isn't the full prize only if you take the annuity, which

a) isn't transferrable to my knowledge, and your chance of dying during receiving it isn't 0
b) because of the net present value concept of money, the money you get later on in the annuity is actually worth a lot less

The lump sum cash option will be over $1B by the drawing tomorrow. Even after tax you are talking a half billion easy.

I'm literally playing numbers I saw in a dream because I am an easily amused idiot who makes poor life choices.

You could play literally any numbers and it doesn't make a bit of difference.

Colbert showed his numbers last night on the late show. I do wonder how many people are going to buy those same numbers now.
