Current Events > If you won a 20 million dollar power ball

(+) Yeah! (+)

but the week prior it was 1.5 billion, would you be appreciative or would it sit in the back of your mind, eating away at you?

That's still more money then I could ever spend, so I'd still be just as happy.

I'd be too busy building my castle to care.

I'd probably be a little annoyed at first, but then I'd remind myself that I still never have to work again so long as I don't spend my money like an idiot.

So overall grateful.

Honestly it would probably be for the better. If it was 1.5 billion legitimately everyone you know would be expecting some type of handout. At 20 million it wouldn't be the same.

And even at 20 million it would easily be enough to retire and never work the rest of my life. I'd be happy for the 20 and it wouldn't eat at me at all.

Either one is basically "never have to worry about money again" for me, and much of the difference would probably have ended up donated to various causes anyway.

I'd feel a bit miffed for like 5 minutes, but then not care because they'd draw more of the attention.

I'd be too busy spending the money to care about the lottery.

Oh, I'd be pissed that it's not enough to bankroll my Animorphs anime adaptation, my dolphin sanctuary, and my move to Japan. I guess I'd still be appreciative on some level though.

(but why the fuck would I be buying a ticket when the jackpot is at the minimum though)

I would be happy and buy a nice house. But like I also wouldn't buy a Powerball ticket the week after the jackpot.

They're both amounts I'd never have otherwise, and while I would be upset that I couldn't have gotten more to help my loved ones with, $20mil (or half of it after taxes) would greatly help and I could probably retire.
