Tonight I bought an easy pick for both Lottery games. After getting the Powerball ticket I played those easy pick numbers on Mega Millions, then played the easy pick Mega Millions numbers on Powerball.

I either lose a few dollars or we have an awesome story to tell.

Wow, that's time for an intervention.

Interventions are available but capacity is limited so you have to enter a drawing…random selection process…ah heck, a lottery to have a chance of getting in.

Did you guys know lottery winnings in Canada are tax free?

Just thought I'd mention that.

I think I'd also get a Waffle House in one of my houses.

Numbers have been drawn:

15 23 53 65 70 and Mega Ball 7

Good luck to you all. As expected, I didn't win.

That lucky 7

That means that 9 people will be splitting the prize and tomorrow night's single Powerball winner will actually take home more.

Spent $20 on quick picks, got a single power ball, so only out $18. Oh well.

I could retire on that sort of money and not even have to work at the Waffle House inside my own house (for the healthcare).

My house will have a Taco Bell. Just as many tweakers at 2:30am but only through the drive through,  no fine in.

I also think that I'd clone myself then join my clone in college in 19 years, as a social experiment, to see whether or not young not too terribly horrific looking, athletic me, or more well traveled, able to make your student loan debt disappear me does better with the co-eds.

Indeed.  My old boss had his own jet (well - technically - the company he owned possessed it) and I know he wasn't worth anywhere near this much.  That said, I'm still not sure I'm enough of a flying enthusiast to want to deal with the hassle, even if I can afford to pay someone else to deal with most of it.  I think I'd rather just charter a plane when I needed one.

In reply to Ian F :

Yea, owning one is just ego. You can get a nice charter for $2500 an hour.

That kind money could build a pretty nice racetrack. SoloNats will now be held at my house after wining.

$679M after taxes with the cash option in pa. $1.3B with the annuity. 

Decisions decisions. With minimal work, a 10% annual return on the cash option could be done. That's $67m/year without touching the principal? berkeley. That's a touch over a a million a week. 

How many Ferraris did you have to buy to get on the invite only list? Then how many of those can you demo derby before they quit selling them to you?

Bugatti rally cross anyone?

One my clone's 18th birthday we'd have a devil's threesome with a beautiful woman who I'd no longer be able to ravage with the ability, strength and stamina of 18 year old me, but would wish that I was able to.

If a million gets you 2 chicks at once, a billion gets you a devil's threesome with your clone when you're nearing elderly status.

I spent $13.99 (plus tax) on 2 dozen red roses on sale at Costco for my lady yesterday.  

I figured the payout would be better.

It would seem with this much cash, you could almost do a hostile takeover of one of the big 4 automakers.....
