Is that enough to afford Scarlet Lot passes for life?

 

[rufeelinit]

It has now passed my threshold to actually waste money and buy a couple of tickets.

lol - you should start a new thread "Top 5 Worst Possible Powerball Winners" or something like that. Could be an early candidate for thread of the year.

 

[OntheBanks]

I bought my 1 ticket and hope to double my money and get $4. :pray::pray::pray:
If I happen to win the top prize my wife and I will be leaving for
a warm destination the day after the money is deposited into my account.
We'll be packing an ample supply of blank checks that we can write out while
relaxing by the pool & beach until we return home in May.

minus taxes you will ONLY walk away with about 325 mil. Almost not worth it...

For that amount of money Rutgers may be able to reinstate men's fencing.

 

[Bamm Bamm Rubble]

can anyone say private island

Not if it doesn't have natural resources.

 

[Machiavelli23]

If I win, then I will definitely splurge and buy club seats. Haha

There's a waiting list. But if you donate enough money, they might kick someone else out to make room for you.

If I donate a building or something like that, I think I can jump the waiting list. Haha

 

[mikebal9]

If I win, I'll have my own club box built. That's how you skip the line.

My own club box WITH a private bathroom!

Bwahahaha.... hey, he IS honest!

 

[mildone]

Bwahahaha.... hey, he IS honest!

Pretty sure he's about as serious about it is I am w/all my hookers and blow comments. I mean, I've never actually had sex with a hooker. Not that there's anything wrong with it.

I like that he kept a straight face.

 

[Spare130]

I've never played the lottery before but just bought 2 tickets.

Come on. Nobody has THAT MUCH laundry.

 

[RUwoz]

When I win, I'll pay whatever it takes to bring Flood back for a lifetime contract

So here's the amazing thing. If you take the lump sum payment and figure a 45% net tax rate (federal and state combined, but taking the deduction for paying state income taxes), you'd need a jackpot around $1.7 billion for it to be a fair bet. (Odds are 292 million to 1, and tickets are $2, so you need to net around $590 million to hit fair bet territory. The other prizes don't really move the needle very much, so you can ignore them.)

 

[soundcrib]

You can finally build your own box on the visitor side of the stadium.

Powerball is state tax free.
