700 million dollars

[Master]

Spent 15 minutes in line for a 60 second transaction after work tonight. Everyone and their grandmamma was buying multiple tickets.

On a side and at the risk of sounding like a commie, 800 million dollars is far too much for a single person to be awarded

It is obscene amount and will ruin you should you win.

What would you do with it? It's a lot and I am fairly frugal. I guess I would give a million to every poster above 10000 posts and those on my friends list. Then thats still 660 million. Maybe 30 million for family. I am careful, so put plenty away for life and retirement. Lots of gold and silver and property. I will rent the property to poor people cheaply on the basis that they get a job. Still a lot left over. Maybe finance a coup somewhere poor and become leader. They would love me in a few years as I would want to do for them what happened here in the 60's, just a bit more Castroesque. That's all.

Oh and thank you, Reggie. You are so sweet.

You will become a communist leader who abuses his power because absolute power corrupts everyone in that position. I would have to start a revolution and shoot you down and I will take over and become a dictator. Walrus will shoot me and Brock will shoot him....ect all revolutions will come from the money you gave us.

I can honestly say I wouldn't have a clue how to buy a lottery ticket, I've bought scratch cards in the past but the lottery hsa never grabbed my attention

am I right in saying that you are just as likely to win by having the number 1,2,3,4,5,6 as you are for example 1,11,16,25,34,42?

I suppose I should make a point of putting them numbers on now because they will probably come up if I don't

[Batman]

actually thinking about it if I was to put them numbers on would I be able to buy a ticket with the same numbers twice?I'm just thinking if there is some bastard out there thinking they can take half of the money, would I then get 2/3 of it?

You Americans on here need to stop buying power ball tickets. I just bought mine and I'm going to win. I'll be too busy making a fool of myself with 22 year old strippers to be processing refund requests.

Nobody won. The jackpot for the next drawing starts at 1.3 BIllion dollars. When I win I am going to rent out an arena - the conference room at a Holiday Inn?- to throw a party for my about to be ex friends.
I'll buy everybody a Big Mac and a Mountain Dew. And I'll hire somebody to tell them all to duck off, and somebody else to tow their cars.

Shit I bought 3 tickets, matched one number on one of them. It's gonna be funny seeing how far this gets up to.

A Staten Island New York man accidentally played the pics 6 Mega Millions when he had intended to play the Powerball lottery and he accidentally won the Mega Millions to the tune of 68 million dollars

I love how the government busts everyone's balls about gambling business but they are the kings of it.
