Surprised there was no topic on this already. Tonight's drawing is for 1.04 billion.

Could you imagine what you could do with all that money?

I swear, there are so many fucking lotteries that it's hard to keep track of them all.

Monday, Wednesday and Saturday apparently. I was kinda surprised that there was one today. I just kinda knew it was high and drew soon when I bought my ticket today. (Tempted to buy more now)

I'd like to try it just for fun but I'm so broke that I can't reasonably buy lottery tickets.

If I won the lottery, I'd eat three full meals a day. Maybe even have dessert!

It's probably better to win the huge amounts of money than the smaller ones.

Can't accidentally blow through a billion the same way most million dollar winners do. >.>

with the lump sum at $478.2 million, you will get about $300 million after taxes assuming no one else hit the jackpot (happens occasionally)

Yeah because someone will eventually win but you do need a ticket to win.

So just 1, out of the entertainment budget.

I just tend to joke about my circumstances. It's not that bad but I do in fact only eat two meals as a cost cutting measure, breakfast and dinner. Probably not healthy but the last time I had a lunch was when I was in school and they had those free lunch tickets.

You'd be surprised. People are terrible with large sums of money and no experience, from athletes to lottery winners.
I think most lottery winners go broke as much as we all seem to have a plan

I guess it depends on what you consider "rich" and a "full meal". I know a few people who live comfortably and eat well but I don't consider them RICH. Better off than me sure but that isn't a high bar.

Looks like ticket cutoff time is an hour before the drawing. So I got 57 minutes to decide if I wanna be rich or not

well I literally don't think I've had a full meal for breakfast in my entire life

and usually if I have 'dessert' that means I skipped dinner and now I have the munchies so I'm eating junk food

Nah, you're setting the bar a bit too high there. I grew up middle class and we always had 3 meals per day. Not always desert too, but that's mostly because I don't have a big sweet tooth

I've been buying the tickets for a couple years now. I do most drawings, but have skipped some either by forgetting or too depressed to leave to get a ticket. Aside from fixing up my house, I'd be able to help many of my loved ones and do many donations annually.

your parents had time for that? I had to be at the bus stop at 6:45 in high school. I had time to get ready and maybe grab a granola bar to eat on the bus and that's it

If I win I'll probably do some occasional giveaways for games ond money. Can't promise a house though.

Isn't there some sort of rule on how much we can give away on here too? There used to be iirc.

Welp I got 12 and 47 on 2 different tickets. I guess that means I lost.

Dumb machine gave me 13 for the powerball on 2 out of 4 tickets. Picking my own next time.
