Mega-Millions

[Industrialsize]

Did you buy a ticket? I never play the lottery, but even I bought a ticket, well 10 tickets. How do you collect your winnings and what the hell do you do with a check for 640 million dollars. I think I'd need a financial adviser BEFORE I picked up my winnings. I read your odds of winning are the same as being struck by lightning 260 times,

nope :frown:

my current location ain't friendly with the Mega-Millions tickets. i overheard a group of folks talking about a road trip to buy tickets.

not sure i would want that much money.. pretty sure some of my distant relatives would kill me for a chance of inheritance.

eta: second thought.. totally want that much money.. i'll just hire a fleet of body guards and ninja babes.

When I win :biggrin1:, it will only be a portion of that, because taxes come out 1st :wink:

*keep your slimey thoughts outta my money :tongue:

 

[NotSoDumb_Blonde]

Ha! Now, come on. I bought some tickets....and now you're saying I have a better chance of getting hit by lightening....how many times??? !!! There goes my plans to travel for the rest of my life!!! Down the drain. I think I need another drink!!! Bartender? Make that a double.

darn it!! And hands off Country. You're all set in Ca, you don't need money, right?

HA!! lol. I just lost my drink. Too funny. I'm sure he wouldn't mind. :biggrin1:

Mr. Country can buy you a new drink, Ms. Blonde
*randomly, Ms. Blonde is ever so Reservoir Dogs. :biggrin:

I only buy tickets when it's these huge jackpot payouts like the drawing tonight. The way I look at it is someone will win; it might as well be me. All it takes is a dollar and a dream. Good Luck everyone!

I bought $10 worth. $4.00 I picked the numbers, $1.00 my BF in Florida (where they do not have MM) picked the numbers and then I got a $3.00 computer picked and a $2.00 computer picked (at two separate days/stores). I have a system. Hope it works. hahahahaha. Tuesdays drawing 47 people hit 5 numbers (no mega ball) and got $250,000. 3 of those people lived in my state. I am hoping for even a small win, but winning the whole thing would be life changing. Taking the lump sum option it amounts to $462 Million. Before taxes...

 

[bimetaldude]

Also- yes, the person who wins needs to do RIGHT AWAY-

1. Get a Lawyer
2. Get a Financial Adviser
3. Not tell anyone and delete Facebook Profile.....(then claim your prize)

Taxes out, 600 Mil to something like the Gates Foundation, and run like hell to destination unknown with the balance .......

 

[nicecircjob]

But I don't trust lawyers. Why do I need a lawyer anyway? He'll finagle me out of my money. No sir.

 

[NotSoDumb_Blonde]

ha! I think there a ton of LPSGers you've just offended. A lawyer can help you out with how to handle the money legally.

i just need money to buy a my own place in Downtown Jersey City, A nice Car, and student tuition. Then buy a place for my parents and my sister and then the rest i would give to Charity.

My thoughts exactly.

And good luck to everyone.

It's a 5-6 hour drive to the nearest place that sells MegaMillions tickets, so no, won't be playing.

 

[SprinkleMe69]

Sure did. I got 5 quick picks from my local neighborhood mom & pop store. If I win anything I'd rather they get their percentage than a chain store or gas station.

 

[manju]

I got 2 quick picks in the hopes that if I win I can pay for ONE day of our military expedition in Afghanistan, after taxes of course.
