The idea is to use that money to make more money.

If I won that $1.55 Billion, I could finally afford some really nice dice for my rear view mirror!

[Adder]

Wow...what are the odds...

[minnesota_bound]

You can get to know a lot of women with that kind of money.

[sit-rep]

If I hit I’d build a tall ship replica, fully automated, and be gone... ...and just check in on the interest accumulation on the balance every once in a while...

“Cash Option $757 million lump sum before taxes - $477 million lump sum after 37% IRS tax”

Keep going. If you put 477 million in some investment that only pays ONE percent you’ll have $4,770,000 per year in interest to live on without ever touching the lump sum.

Now do a normal return on investment percentage! Say even 5%? Nearly 24 million per year. I can hardly think that big.

This puts you into the super wealthy class, and will make you an enemy of the state unless you donate to leftist causes.

I’d still drive my current vehicles, stay in my current house.
The 3 splurge items would be a vacation property on a beach, more hunting property and establishing a trust for my daughters. After all charity begins at home right?
I’ve lived a pretty good life, I don’t need many things. I figure the 2 splurged for me would be around 2 million. I couldn’t fathom that much money. Snowballs chance in hell anyhow. Good luck, you can’t win if you don’t play.

Turn in ticket anonymously. Create a LLC whose sole purpose is investing as broadly as possible. Hire a lawyer, a financial manager, and an accountant. Preferably ones that don't know or trust each other. Hire an outside firm to do an audit every now and then. Pay yourself a modest income as CEO based on the performance. Move to the outskirts of some quiet leafy small town. Involve yourself with charities.

Don't buy a bunch of Bugattis and put a big target on your back.

You could probably fund a revolution with this.

[CapnJack]

What! I didn’t even get a chance to check my ticket this morning.

I figured I was “due” to win it this time!

Darn! Now I have to go out and get another one.

I’m “due” to win it ... I can feel it this time!

[This_Dude]

Hands off. I seen it first

[Macoozie]

Why the heck not?
$2 for a little spark. A laugh.

Ya lose more change in your car seat or doing the laundry.

Somebodys gotta win it - Could be you?

[Old Grumpy]

If I won, I could finally afford a new paint job on my 26 year old Chevy S10.

$477 million lump sum after 37% IRS tax and they leave a free tub of K-Y Jelly for the years to follow.

I’d put it all on lawyers to persecute Republicans. (/liberal)

[OKSooner]

So... There’s a chance?
