1. Who's going to buy a ticket?
2. If you won, what would you do?
You can't win if you don't play :)
- I am buying just one ticket.
- I would purchase GetBig, go public, and sell the shares to you guys.
-
From the standpoint of pure statistics, buying a single ticket is a completely rational thing to do: it takes your odds of winning from zero to a non-zero number, which is -- literally -- infinitely better.
Purchasing additional tickets after that does not have the benefit of statistical rationality.
I will be purchasing 10. If I win, expect a Piana-sized gear binge.
-
Will buy five myself.
I wouldn't live much differently on the everyday.
However, vacations and recreation time would be vastly different.

In all seriousness, I wouldn't tell a single soul; I would do my best not to change a single thing.
Only thing that I would do different is start to foster stray dogs for my local SPCA.

the whole nation playing the powerball twice a week, over the past 2 months ... and not a single winner ,
That tells you the chances to win it .
WOOOSSHHHHH CANSECO

In the State of Texas, if you win, you can choose a $309.8 million lump sum, or an average $16 million/year payment for 30 years (Total $500 million-ish)

id be a combo of Charlie Sheen/Lamar Odom with that cash

Buy a million dollar home.
A couple of exotic cars .. Ferrari and a Lamborghini...
Put 1/2 in a trust and the rest spend it until I die...

Travel the world playing golf.

I think some (if not most?) states require you to do a public interview and reveal yourself as the winner.
I think they do this to show the public that they didn't just steal their money, and that there was actually a winner.

Depends which state you live in. Cali reserves the right the publish your name, other states give you the option of anonymity.
I don't get why the average person gets all excited over $650 million but passes on the chance at the base $10 million prize when it resets. They act like $10 million is nothing. I would rather win the lotto when it's lower to not get any media attention on me. Honestly winning $10 million is no different to me than winning $650 million. Either way I'm not buying a jet or lambo to show off. Both would allow me to quit my job and travel the world and live nice the rest of my life.

mo money, mo problems.
i'd hire a supermodel to read getbig to me all day while I floated in the pool.

Also, if you do win, be prepared to give away 50% of it as tax (no big deal with such a huge winning, though), but even worse yet, be prepared to cut off all contact with distant and maybe even close family. They will try to bleed you dry. Everyone is "tight" and "family" until someone becomes filthy rich. Then they only see you as a cash cow.

Think they were saying you'd get $360 million lump sum after taxes. Not getbigger money but still a fuck lot.

Even if you got half of the $360M, that's still a fuck-ton of money haha. Either way, be prepared for relatives you've never heard of before to come out of the woodwork and ask for "a few bucks."

Please refer to my classification scheme regarding the way getbiggers classify income.
SF1900's classification scheme to describe socioeconomic status based on income per year. Data was collected from Getbig.com
Source:
1900, SF (2015). An alternative classification scheme to describe socioeconomic status. Journal of Getbig.com, 14, 150-190. doi: schmoe
>$99,000 - homeless
$100,000 - $450,000 = poor
$451,000 - $750,000 = low middle class
$751,000 - $1,000,000 - middle class
$1,100,000 - $5,000,0000 = upper middle class
$5,100,000 - $50,000,000 = rich
$51,000,000+ = super wealthy
-

No, it is 360 lump sum, 675 if you take installments. Tax rate will be about 38%. So about $223 million in your pocket. I'd have a coronary just planning on spending even 50 million, can't imagine what I'd do with that much... probably give a lot away

I'd buy a gun shop and have free give aways daily.

The first thing you do is move because your neighbors will all hit you up for cash and you won't be living amongst the paupers much longer anyway. Next thing you do is delete all social media accounts to stop anyone from contacting you who doesn't normally contact you. Where you're going, you don't need Facebook. Then you hire a lawyer, accountant and PR person to handle the paperwork and media. Finally, you give each immediate family member $2M (deducting withholding so they don't wind up in prison) so they net $1M each and tell them that's all and don't ever ask for another penny. Then you buy your best friend a brand new Lamborgini and offer to pay the insurance. Move far away from everyone you know and start a new life in a wealthy, low-crime area and if anyone asks what you do for a living, you just say you're a Wealth Advisor. They'll be too afraid you'll ask to manage their money to inquire further. You're done.

Nah, dump it all in Apple stock, double it in a year then move.

I know this is judgmental to say, but when I look at people who gamble or bet, I just see people who are not really "put together." Whenever I go to the convenience store and I see people buying scratch offs, they all look the same: unshaved, dirty, buying beer, cigarettes, and unhealthy food. You will ever rarely see a clean-cut guy in a suit, pull with a BMW, and buy scratch offs. Its the same thing when OTB was around. When I would drive buy an OTB, Id see the same class of people who buy lottery tickets.

It's not too far off but having sold lotto tickets for years at a convenience store I found a significant difference in the average scratch off player and the average lotto ticket purchaser. The former usually was low income and spent an extravagant amount on scratch off's, money they couldn't really afford to spend, hoping it will change their life . Lotto players are generally middle to upper class and buy $5 or less and can afford the money and use it as entertainment.
-

Before taxes, though.
Most getbiggers get raped by their 3 alimony checks, 11 child support checks, and not including "hush hush money" paid to strippers and hookers to "keep their mouths shut".

yeah, that sounds accurate.

First, I would purchase a dozen of the most exquisite 18 year old Russian whores. Then I'd build a big fortress on a large secluded piece of land. Then I'd surround the property with a giant wall to isolate myself and my whores from minorities. The wall would be covered in German razor wire and patrolled by retired Navy Seals and maybe a few lions. I'd also dig a moat around the house and fill it with Great White sharks. Of course there would be a bunker deep underneath my home just in case any of these security measures fail. It would be stocked with many years supply of food, water, guns, alcohol(for the whores since I don't drink), samurai swords and many cases of Vitamin Water(XXX flavor only). There would be a basketball court for recreation and a pool.

It's up to $700 million now. I think by Friday morning it will be at 800 million. By Friday night it will be 850 million. Sat morning it will be at 900 mil and by Friday night it will hit 1 Billion dollars...My guess is there will be 7 winners of the grand prize. And half of them will be broke in 5 years....

I would gather about 240 pretty Russian girls ranging from 10-20 years old. Over the next 10 years I'll have two fresh pretty 20 years olds per month at my disposal.

Nah, the underaged girls will remain untouched, fed well and treated well. They will do fun labor work like knitting, sewing and keeping the bunker clean and on their 20'th birthdays will be handed over for assimilation.

I respect your foresight. I only planned on getting twelve 18 year old exquisite Russian whores and I'm feeling under-prepared. I didn't even consider having a farm system for Russia puss. Well done.
However, a quick warning to you. I settled on the number twelve because I was concerned that if there were too many they would eventually band together and cut my throat while I slept. Russian whores can be ruthless. Something to think about.

From the standpoint of pure statistics, buying a single ticket is a completely rational thing to do: it takes your odds of winning from zero to a non-zero number, which is -- literally -- infinitely better.
Purchasing additional tickets after that does not have the benefit of statistical rationality.

You used to be able to game the Irish lottery. Some mathematician figured out a way that combined the bonus prizes (3+bonus number, 4, 5 and 4 & 5 with bonus numbers) to make enough when jackpot reached a certain amount.
The lottery here was bought by a company acting for the Ontario Teacher's Pension - those pieces of shit thought they could increase the cost of tickets and add numbers (therefore massively reduce odds...). They have been losing money, thankfully, despite how stupid most lottery players are.
Oh, and AJ, want a laugh? You say the chance when buying a ticket increases infinitely? When that company bought the lottery, they broke self scan machines with new software - so you give your ticket to person in gas station/corner shop etc to check... so that dirty bastard could say "not a winner" and see "jackpot" flash on the screen. They have yet to fix the issue...
Wonder how many old women have been fucked over on that one.

They'd sleep in cells so it's not a worry and only 2 per month will be allowed in my area. The rest remain in the working zone.

You are a hard man. I respect you.
I usually like my exquisite Russian whores to mingle around in the house freely. It's kind of a status thing when my neighbors visit. I fuck with my neighbors a little bit and call the whores my "nieces". AT that point a whore usually comes and sits on my lap. My neighbor then incredulously says, "your nieces"? Then I smile and say "we're very close". Gets them every time. Jealous phaggotts.
I treat my whores pretty well so they don't usually run off. Occasionally you have that one rogue whore that is too headstrong for her own good. They always come back though.....eventually.

Blaha will do it for $5k. He's all the protection you will need, seeing as he was trained by and worked for the CIA/FBI/Black ops/Marines/etc.... He will stealthily pant his way in front of you to take a bullet. Don't worry, his layer of 45% bodyfat will leave him unscathed.

I spent $20 as my contribution to the Ponzi schemed welfare system, but you never know. 1 in 290,000,000 chance of winning. I think I have better odds of pounding Jennifer Lawrence analy while getting bitten by a shark, becoming president and struck by lightning all at the same time. But what the fuck, I did it anyways.
-
All these articles telling people not to play are just insanity. Imagine you talk to the guy that ends up winning and you explain to them that they did something very stupid by buying the ticket because the odds were 1 in 300 mil.
Buy at least one ticket.

I bought two tickets.
If I win, you can have several million. Save this post as bonded word and as a writ of agreement. Fun will be had. I will buy all the property surrounding Uncle Junior and put it in your name for you to do what you will with it. No way he can avoid or duck you then.

News said they've sold over $3 billion in tickets so far. The ultimate ponzi. I hope somehow no one wins but with this many tickets sold and just based on odds should be about 6 winners.

It's kinda funny. My wife and I were talking about the jackpot and how legit neither one of us dreamed of winning that much money. When we got together, both of us had plans to start businesses, but with a growing family, it's much harder to say goodbye to a consistent paycheck and take that risk. Obviously, never having to worry about money would be great, but the path in life we both admire is creating and building something, so that type of lifestyle isn't something either of us dreams about or envies. Ideally, I would love to win $250000, which would give me the ability to not work for a year and setup a solid infrastructure without going into debt. I see all of the problems and complications that come along with a billion in lotto winnings.

I never buy powerball tickets because I'm not retarded. Today I decided to buy a few for shits and grins since the jackpot is so huge. Decided on 10 draws. Let the machine auto pick my numbers because I'm too lazy to pick my own. The numbers it picked for me were absolute dogshit. lol.
-
Mutherfucker. It's gonna be $1.3 billion next week. No winner again.
This should show the stupid sheeple out there how futile it is to win this lottery.
Just buy 1 ticket. Buying more than that does not increase your chances of winning.

This^^^And with a Jackpot this big, most likely they'll be multiple winners. So a good thing to do is to play 2 tickets with the same numbers(cost you 4 bucks instead of 2)...If three winning tickets hit the grand prize, you'll have two of them and you'll get 2/3s of the Jackpot instead of half if you only bought 1 ticket with one other winner ;D The key when it's this large is to increase your share of the jackpot prize knowing the probability of multiple winners is very high...America Greed at it's finest. lol

it could be the story of the young year if nobody hits it this time. People buying tickets by the truckload.
imagine it moving up to $2 billion.

If I win, you can have several million. Save this post as bonded word and as a writ of agreement. Fun will be had. I will buy all the property surrounding Uncle Junior and put it in your name for you to do what you will with it. No way he can avoid or duck you then.
Hahaha ;D

1. Who's going to buy a ticket?

You can't win if you don't play :)

I'll bet Goodrum looked and said ; " Is that all...?"

It is sometimes difficult to understand how much money 1 billion is, so here is little tip for you guys:
What if 1$ = one second? 1 million would be 12 days, and 1 billion 12 000 days, meaning +32 years ;D

Turns out in Oct they changed the formula making it easier to win the 2nd prize which is about $1-2Million but harder to win the jackpot. Basically since then no one has won it. Will they change it back or keep it the same. Even though there were no winners last draw something like 30+ prizes were awarded of a couple million dollars. Honestly, I'd rather win the $2million and remain anonymous than win $1.3 billion and be know everywhere. I have no need for that much money.

What's worse, paying 2 bucks for a lottery ticket or paying 7 dollars for a beer at a bar and 12 bucks for a Martini for your chick? The latter almost always is a lot harder to swallow at the end of the night...Throw down a hundred bucks at a bar and barely get a buzz on...

I hope it gets to that amount .....people don't want to see things as they are, they just want the jackpot to grow and grow so they can "win" more money

WoooSSSHHHHH

Don't hold your breath .... no winner since November 4 ;)
The week before they upped the odds from 1 in 175 million to 1 in 290 million. They added more numbers but lowered the powerball numbers
-
/ 1. IMMEDIATELY retain an attorney.
Get a partner from a larger, NATIONAL firm. Don't let them pawn off junior partners or associates on you.
They might try, all law firms might, but insist instead that your lead be a partner who has been with
the firm for awhile. Do NOT use your local attorney. Yes, I mean your long-standing family attorney who
did your mother's will. Do not use the guy who fought your dry-cleaner bill. Do not use the guy you have
trusted your entire life because of his long and faithful service to your family. In fact, do not use any
firm that has any connection to family or friends or community. TRUST me. This is bad. You want someone who
has never heard of you, any of your friends, or any member of your family. Go the closest big city and walk
into one of the national firms asking for one of the "Trust and Estates" partners you have previously looked
up on http://www.martindale.com[1] from one of the largest 50 firms in the United States which has an office
near you. You can look up attorneys by practice area and firm on Martindale.
/ 2. Decide to take the lump sum.
Most lotteries pay a really pathetic rate for the annuity. It usually hovers around 4.5% annual return or
less, depending. It doesn't take much to do better than this, and if you have the money already in cash,
rather than leaving it in the hands of the state, you can pull from the capital whenever you like.
If you take the annuity you won't have access to that cash. That could be good. It could be bad.
It's probably bad unless you have a very addictive personality. If you need an allowance managed by the state,
it is because you didn't listen to point #1 above.
Why not let the state just handle it for you and give you your allowance?
Many state lotteries pay you your "allowance" (the annuity option) by buying U.S. treasury
instruments and running the interest payments through their bureaucracy before sending it to
you along with a hunk of the principal every month. You will not be beating inflation by much,
if at all. There is no reason you couldn't do this yourself, if a low single-digit return is acceptable to you.
You aren't going to get even remotely the amount of the actual jackpot. Take our old friend
Mr. Whittaker. Using Whittaker is a good model both because of the reminder of his ignominious
decline, and the fact that his winning ticket was one of the larger ones on record. If his
situation looks less than stellar to you, you might have a better perspective on how "large"
your winnings aren't. Whittaker's "jackpot" was $315 million. He selected the lump-sum cash
up-front option, which knocked off $145 million (or 46% of the total) leaving him with $170 million.
That was then subject to withholding for taxes of $56 million (33%) leaving him with $114 million.
In general, you should expect to get about half of the original jackpot if you elect a lump sum
(maybe better, it depends). After that, you should expect to lose around 33% of your already pruned
figure to state and federal taxes. (Your mileage may vary, particularly if you live in a
state with aggressive taxation schemes).
/ 3. Decide right now, how much you plan to give to family and friends.
This really shouldn't be more than 20% or so. Figure it out right now. Pick your number.
Tell your lawyer. That's it. Don't change it. 20% of $114 million is $22.8 million.
That leaves you with $91.2 million. DO NOT CONSULT WITH FAMILY when deciding how much to give to family.
You are going to get advice that is badly tainted by conflict of interest,
and if other family members find out that Aunt Flo was consulted and they weren't
you will never hear the end of it. Neither will Aunt Flo. This might later form the
basis for an allegation that Aunt Flo unduly influenced you and a lawsuit might magically
appear on this basis. No, I'm not kidding. I know of one circumstance (related to a business
windfall, not a lottery) where the plaintiffs WON this case.
Do NOT give anyone cash. Ever. Period. Just don't. Do not buy them houses. Do not buy them cars.
Tell your attorney that you want to provide for your family, and that you want to set up a
series of trusts for them that will total 20% of your after tax winnings. Tell him you want
the trust empowered to fund higher education, some help (not a total) purchase of their first
home, some provision for weddings and the like, whatever. Do NOT put yourself in the position
of handing out cash. Once you do, if you stop, you will be accused of being a heartless bastard
(or bitch). Trust me. It won't go well.
It will be easy to lose perspective. It is now the duty of your friends, family, relatives,
hangers-on and their inner circle to skew your perspective, and they take this job quite seriously.
Setting up a trust, a managed fund for your family that is in the double digit millions is AMAZINGLY generous.
You need never have trouble sleeping because you didn't lend Uncle Jerry $20,000 in small denomination
unmarked bills to start his chain of deep-fried peanut butter pancake restaurants.
("Deep'n 'nutter Restaurants") Your attorney will have a number of good ideas how to
parse this wealth out without turning your siblings/spouse/children/grandchildren/cousins/waitresses
into the latest Paris Hilton.
/ 4. You will be encouraged to hire an investment manager. Considerable pressure will be applied. Don't.
Investment managers charge fees, usually a percentage of assets.
Consider this: If they charge 1% (which is low, I doubt you could find this deal, actually)
they have to beat the market by 1% every year just to break even with a general market index fund.
It is not worth it, and you don't need the extra return or the extra risk. Go for the index fund
instead if you must invest in stocks. This is a hard rule to follow. They will come recommended
by friends. They will come recommended by family. They will be your second cousin on your mother's side.
Investment managers will sound smart. They will have lots of cool acronyms.
They will have nice PowerPoint presentations. They might (MIGHT) pay for your shrimp cocktail lunch at
TGI Friday's while reminding you how poor their side of the family is. They live for this stuff.
You should smile, thank them for their time, and then tell them you will get back to them next week.
Don't sign ANYTHING. Don't write it on a cocktail napkin (lottery lawsuit cases have been won and lost
over drunkenly scrawled cocktail napkin addition and subtraction figures with lots of zeros on them).
Never call them back. Trust me. You will thank me later. This tactic, smiling, thanking people for their time,
and promising to get back to people, is going to have to become familiar. You will have to learn to say no gently,
without saying the word "no." It sounds underhanded. Sneaky. It is. And its part of your new survival strategy.
I mean the word "survival" quite literally.
Get all this figured out BEFORE you claim your winnings. They aren't going anywhere. Just relax.
/ 5. If you elect to be more global about your paranoia, use between 20.00% and 33.00% of what you have
not decided to commit to a family fund IMMEDIATELY to purchase a combination of longer term U.S.
treasuries (5 or 10 year are a good idea) and perhaps even another G7 treasury instrument.
This is your safety net. You will be protected... from yourself.
You are going to be really tempted to starting being a big investor. You are going to be convinced that
you can double your money in Vegas with your awesome Roulette system/by funding your friend's amazing idea
to sell Lemming dung/buying land for oil drilling/by shorting the North Pole Ice market (global warming, you know).
This all sounds tempting because "Even if I lose it all I still have $XX million left! Anyone could live on that
comfortably for the rest of their life." Yeah, except for 33% of everyone who won the lottery.
You're not going to double your money, so cool it. Let me say that again. You're not going to double your money,
so cool it. Right now, you'll get around 3.5% on the 10 year U.S. treasury.
With $18.2 million (20% of $91.2 mil after your absurdly generous family gift) invested in those you
will pull down $638,400 per year. If everything else blows up, you still have that, and you will be
in the top 1% of income in the United States. So how about you not fuck with it.
Eh? And that's income that is damn safe. If we get to the point where the United States defaults on those
instruments, we are in far worse shape than worrying about money.
If you are really paranoid, you might consider picking another G7 or otherwise mainstream country other
than the U.S. according to where you want to live if the United States dissolves into anarchy or Britney
Spears is elected to the United States Senate. Put some fraction in something like Swiss Government Bonds at 3%.
If the Swiss stop paying on their government debt, well, then you know money really means nothing anywhere on the globe anymore.
I'd study small field sustainable agriculture if you think this is a possibility. You might have to start feeding yourself.
/ 6. That leaves, say, 80% of $91.2 million or $72.9 million.
Here is where things start to get less clear. Personally, I think you should dump half of this, or $36.4 million,
into a boring S&P 500 index fund.
Find something with low fees. You are going to be constantly tempted to retain "sophisticated" advisers who charge "nominal fees."
Don't. Period. Even if you lose every other dime, you have $638,400 per year you didn't have
before that will keep coming in until the United States falls into chaos. Fuck advisers and their fees.
Instead, drop your $36.4 million in the market in a low fee vehicle. Unless we have an unprecedented
downturn the likes of which the United States has never seen, should return around 7.00% or so over the next 10 years.
You should expect to touch not even a dime of this money for 10 or 15 or even 20 years.
In 20 years $36.4 million could easily become $115 million.
/ 7. So you have put a safety net in place.
You have provided for your family beyond your wildest dreams. And you still have $36.4 million in "cash."
You know you will be getting $638,400 per year unless the capital building is burning, you don't ever
need to give anyone you care about cash, since they are provided for generously and responsibly
(and can't blow it in Vegas) and you have a HUGE nest egg that is growing at market rates.
(Given the recent dip, you'll be buying in at great prices for the market). What now? Whatever you want.
Go ahead and burn through $36.4 million in hookers and blow if you want. You've got more security than 99% of the country.
A lot of it is in trusts so even if you are sued your family will live well, and progress across generations.
If your lawyer is worth his salt (I bet he is) then you will be insulated from most lawsuits anyhow.
Buy a nice house or two, make sure they aren't stupid investments though. Go ahead and be an angel
investor and fund some startups, but REFUSE to do it for anyone you know. (Friends and money, oil and water - Michael Corleone) Play.
Have fun. You earned it by putting together the shoe sizes of your whole family on one ticket and winning the jackpot.
Other advice
Change all telephone numbers and ensure the new ones are unlisted before going to claim the prize
Stop home mail delivery. Get a PO Box, and if your postal service allows it, ensure that mail
is only delivered if it is addressed to the family members whose names are listed as belonging to the PO Box.
Change all your billing records to the new address and phone number before claiming the prize.
Once you have eventually claimed the prize, do not read mail from sources you do not know.
The sob stories will break your heart. Save yourself the anguish and do not read them
In some jurisdictions (including mine), you have to agree to some minor publicity when you collect your prize.
This can frequently mean a photograph and your name in the media. I have a few pieces of advice for this:
Only one person should collect the winnings. You want to minimize the chance that you are going to be recognized.
If there is more than one person in the photo, then there is double the chance that one of you might get recognized.
Try to be as anonymous as possible.
Ask that the novelty cheque and subsequent media release name you without using your full name.
So if you are John Quincy Smith, ask to be identified as "J.Q. Smith." This doesn't work as well if you
have an uncommon family name, but in some cases it can help anonymize you a bit.
If you're likely to be photographed, then now's the time to play dress up. Wear a hat.
Wear sunglasses if you can. Men, grow some facial hair. You are going to get your 15 minutes of fame,
whether you like it or not, so my advice is to look as unidentifiable as possible when you go to get your prize.
iIf the lottery corporation has prize offices in more than one location, collect your prize at a
location that is as far away as possible and/or where you know the fewest people
Before collecting the prize, you will have already made your arrangements for the funds.
Collect the cheque and immediately deliver it (to the bank, to your lawyer, wherever you have made your previous arrangements).
As soon as you deposit your winnings, you and your family need to disappear for a month.
Most of the excitement and focus will be in the immediate aftermath of you winning the prize.
Now is the time for you and your family to rent a cottage on a beach in a foreign country and lay low.

The week before they upped the odds to 1 in 290 million. They added more numbers but lowered the powerball numbers
Which is SO very close to zero in 290 million.
Best of luck, Dream Warriors.

Winning the lottery would not significantly affect my lifestyle. Like all getbiggers, I have 20" arms and am already a billionaire with a minority stake in Caliber Conglomerate Corporation (ticker symbol: VINCE.G) and some smaller, targetted investments in the schmoe business sector. I also have residences in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris, Milan, St. Petersburg, Tokyo and Dubai, India.
