lordairgtar Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 If one of us mooks wins this, here is a bit of advice. Hire an attorney to create a trust before you claim your winnings. Do not claim them yourself, let the lawyers do it. Creating a trust helps protect your privacy and allows you to help anyone if you want without having every rinky dink charity calling you on the phone pitching for money. You do not have to reveal your identity to the public, which is what will happen if you show up at the Lotto office in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Marcia bought a couple tickets today. The news said last night that you have better odds of getting killed by a falling coconut than 1 person winning. Be careful where you walk, Gregg.

The news said last night that you have better odds of getting killed by a falling coconut than 1 person winning. Be careful where you walk, Gregg. That's why I only bought 1, The guy at the 7-11 I bought it at said they had people buying $500 worth at times?! Told him I couldn't afford to waste that kind of money, I've got a car payment now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skydime Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Well, I never even matched one number...so much for that. Some millionaire will probably win. Maybe they will start a model kit manufacturer. Edited November 29, 2012 by Skydime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogger44 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I won four bucks....spent $14 on tickets though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie8575 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 No win here, either. Based on the last reported amount ($580 million,) if nobody wins tonight, I'm guessing it'll hit $800 million. Now THAT is worth a ticket or two! Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Handley Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 If that's the case Charlie, I just may have to ante up for two tickets next time! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimebolt Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 First off, I'd take care of any finances that myself or my family could ever need. I'd give out close to 50 million to my family. A cool mil each. Then I would buy, and or build all my toys. Open a few hobby shops, and donate to a worthy cause. Invest, and last but not least have fun, and enjoy life to the fullest.

von Zipper Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 About 10 years ago a young man that lives around here won 100 Grand on daily four. He quit his job , paid off his Dads house and bought a brand new Nissan pick up-In the last 10 years he has spent well over that 100 Grand trying to win again-but it's the same group of people that think that my model collection is a waste of time and money ?

bandit1 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I wonder how they handle two guys winning the powerball @ 579 mill last night? http://gma.yahoo.com/winning-powerball-tickets-jackpot-sold-ariz-mo-065718021--abc-news-topstories.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychographic Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I would hire Bill Geary to finish his GTO with the working convertible top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperStockAndy Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I'd finish my truck, but first I gotta have somewhere to finish it! Therefore, I'd build a HUGE shop full of all the tools one could ever need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 My brother-in-law bought 150 dollars worth and did not even get ONE NUMBER on any of them! Which is why spending more than $5 or $10 is not worth it to me. It is a lot like trading stuff here on the forum, if you can't afford to live without it, then don't do it! Your brother would have done a whole lot better spending that money helping someone in true need than to waste it on tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he still lived at home he would sometimes spend his whole paycheck on the LOTTO if the jackpot was high.
