I bought 5 tickets for this past Monday, won $8. Rolled that into 2 tickets for yesterday, & bought 5 additional, & won $4. I hope someone wins the jackpot on Saturday so I can stop wasting money on this crap.

Me either. Might slow it down to working only 12 hours a day from the current 14 though.

I'd buy CF & fire every stinking mod. I'd then let Knooger start his own porn feed on it.

That was then... this is now. I'd quit. Oh, wait I quit 7 years ago. Never mind.

Estimated Powerball just increased to $1.6 BILLION.

So, if you are fortunate enough to live in a great state like FLORIDA with no state taxes:

You get $783 cash upfront, less 37% taxes (I believe you only pay 25% at the time you take the lump sum, the remainder, estimated at an addtional 12% for tax year 2022, is paid when you file--that is a long discussion), nets you $494 MILLION.

If, and probably a good-betting if, it hits $1.8 BILLION, in FL you would net $556 MILLION.

I have rethought my selfishness, I would probably donate all to The Onebadcad Charity Network for Broken Hookers.

I love the comments of "I would pay off my house, I would pay off the kids house"....Fuk that.....Id just leave the doors unlocked and just walk away from anything I currently own with maybe the exception of my Gasser project. With a billion bucks I would buy everything new for me and the kid. Plus give a mil to my ex GF and each of her kids. That's just for starters....

AND...YES I bought tickets....

Leaving the property open and walking away does not relieve you of liability. A better approach would be to quit claim title of the property to someone and remove yourself from ownership and the liabilities and responsibilities that comes with it.

I’d still work…but it wouldn’t be for anyone but myself. I’d do the things I’ve wanted to do and never look for a dime in repayment for any goods that may leave my possession. I’d have hundreds of acres somewhere there is a heathy deer/elk/moose population and a couple of fun projects on four wheels. I’d also have the space to utilize those fun projects on my own property. I’d vacation regularly, and take care of those who have taken care of me, never asking for anything in return. I’ve been very unfortunate and fortunate in the same breath. Those folks deserve more than I can ever repay monetarily.

My fellow workers all chipped in $2 so we'll have $60 worth of tickets. I spent $10 myself.

$12 isn't going to break me and besides, I figure it's a 50/50 chance of winning.

You either win or lose.
