Mega Millions at 1.6 billion

[Mothballs]

Correct - only as you well know that doesn’t & wouldn’t stop them potentially rigging it.

Like the McDonalds Monopoly game where the employee hand-delivered the winning pieces to his close friends?

I'm the only one at work who inst adding to the pool. Everyone is bugging me to put in. I could really care less about that money. It would do nothing but fuck up my life. Am I the only one who enjoys a simple life and has no desire to be a billionaire?

[Earl1972]

1. How dare you sir.

2. After I win I use the money to find out where you work, I buy that company outright and I install myself as your  boss,  I'll defer the salary and turn it into easily obtained bonuses for the staff. The simple tasks will consist of providing information on why Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player alive and how Kevin Levrone is overrated as a bodybuilder, musician and thespian.

If you don't like these new practices and decide to leave and work elsewhere I will buy the new company you work for and and start the process over again except I make the aforementioned practices company policy. All raises and bonuses will be merit based on providing the information asked for.

If you decide to leave this company and go to another I will in turn buy that  said company..... I will do this until I am unable to purchase new corporations or until you come to grips with reality.

this would all be worth it to me just so i can say i own major space in the mind of a billionaire

how would having all that money make your life less simple?  not having to work would make life a simple life

you don't have to get lawyers or investment advisors or even give to charity, the winnings alone should be enough to last 1000 lifetimes as long as you don't want to buy private islands

Yes and it would be worth it for me to carry out the 3rd greatest owning in getbig history.

Side note Earl have you ever watched the shows what I did with my millions and the lottery wrecked my life?

The biggest issue for the winners, besides over spending, is not being able to manage the money they had prior to winning the lotto. I think the number was 75% end BANKRUPT in 5 years and 90% are broke in 10 years.

Winning money doesn't prepare them to have money and the leaches that try to take it from you.  It should be simple common sense to make it last a lifetime, but just as we see with pro athletes, if you don't know how to handle money it will wreck you.

I think keeping a job keeps people normal and prevents then from being consumed by their idle time.

Fortunately I was gifted with a brain to handle the vast wealth.

Right. Probably would just give it all to Hillary for her campaign.

I’d say a split of donations Some To Killary & Some To Dr Ford as neither of them already have enough $’s

Cuz I'd buy tons of useless shit. Everyone would suddenly try to become my friend.

Everyone who plays the lotto says they'd do this or that, but once that money hits they all get fucked up on it.

besides think of the psychology of it. ''If I had all that money my life would be so great'. That money aint gonna fix it.

A private island is a much better buy than any superyacht or private jet....those toys have very serious depreciation. Better to rent them

[Mothballs]

One guaranteed event is that every family member you’ve ever met will come running to you for money along with every friend and neighbor. And no matter what you give, it wouldn’t ever be enough. That faucet will run until you turn it off. So you have to:
- Move
- Change your number
- Cut off communication between all friends and family members
- Hope that someone will ever love you or want to be your friend for a reason other than your money

So basically, you lose your friends, neighbors, family but gain enough money to finally become popular on Instagram.

I can see why smart people realize that having a ton of money actually makes life worse.

Paul Allen's yacht can be had for a steal.  I hear he won't be needing it anymore.

That's why I only do the 200,000 prizes...you can get a place to live rent free for the rest of your life...that is like 1000 dollars a month extra cash.

Spot on ^^^^^

[el numero uno]

1 in 302,000,000 chance to win.

Pick 5 numbers from 1 to 70 and 1 number from 1 to 25.

Easy as pie for Getbiggers.

The probability for the scenario you just described is [(5C5)(65C0)/70C5]*(1/25) = 3.305 X 10^-7 %, or 3.305 in a billion, which approximates to 1 in 302 million.

The same odds as rolling a die and getting the number 1 , eleven times in a row.

Rounded up they're the same, yep. (1/6)^11 = 3 x 10 ^-7 %

[Henda]

Can’t even begin to imagine how great it would feel to win that amount of money. Would sort one good mate out with a substantial amount of money and a few others with a decent amount. Buy a half decent house in the posh end of gosforth and tell only a select few mates where I live. Probably throw the missus out and get a maid for cook and cleaning and just enjoy life not going to work,  eating, going to gym, going out for drinks in Newcastle centre a few nights a week, sex with deluded filthy gold digging whores who are naive enough to think you can’t see them for what they are then fuck them off for another the second you are bored.

[IroNat]

If I won I'd spend all the money buying more lottery tickets.

what's wrong with the money giving you a reality check?

this all sounds like fear of success to me

Some advice I have read in the past is that the firm you hire for reducing your tax bill, setting up trusts etc is also the firm you refer all people who hit you up for money to. Makes sense. As a standard rule I would refer anyone who asked me for anything to them. "Sorry, I don't handle that aspect anymore. But if you call Mr. Scrooge at his office, here is his number, he will evaluate your request and forward it to the people that make that decision. I found this to work best for people I know, because you wouldn't want it to affect our friendship right? I thought so."

Congrats to the winner in South Carolina!  Don't let lawyers and CPAs fuck it up.  All books/records should balance monthly and only you sign checks like Oprah.

Thank goodness I don't need to worry about any of that ^^^
