Because I sincerely hope that someone frequenting the FRee Republic website wins the power ball drawing tonight, especially a monthly donor and because that winner will be an (almost) instant billionaire, I am offering some sound advice on how to handle the situation.
I honestly don’t know what time the drawing is. :)
There’s still time- go get a ticket!!
Or that person could make Jim a great offer for the site and take it over. Let him retire. He deserves it.
Ah, then we know the GOP isn't running it.
Here is my fantasy. I win the big jackpot. Not telling anyone, I dress not in rags, but someone who dresses in rags, but is trying to look as presentable as possible. I go to financial advisers, asking for advice. I am in debt, facing foreclosure, tax liens, repossession. I do not tell them that I won the jackpot. I observe how they treat someone in my situation, which ones give me the bum’s rush. I give my business to the one that seemed to at least try to help someone in my ‘situation’.
It’s already way up, getting quickly in and out of the local convenience store hasn’t been possible for over a week due to people buying lottery tickets. People get very motivated by the high payouts, never mind that the odds get even worse.
Don’t leave the safety of your house - hire people to go get your groceries and some bodyguards
LOL.That is my favorite lottery post of the night.
Don’t spend it all in one place!
The bodyguards will be the first people to kill you
I would bail my small town out of debt with the stipulation that they don’t raise taxes and that they stay out of debt.
Then I would buy a piece of property close by and build two indoor tennis courts with amenities and have my tennis buddies over every day.

Then park it on Martin Luther King Blvd.
I would be afraid to leave my house until that lottery ticket was surrendered.
1. Set up a foundation with all the money
2. Have the foundation pay you
3. Anyone who asks for money must apply through the foundation
You can check with those other states to see if you can change your appearance, after they confirm your win. My lottery corporation allows that. They allow a mutually agreed upon word that you both recognize to endure they are dealing with you.
The odds get no worse. They stay exactly the same. Rotten. 1 in about 300,000,000. Which of course means 299,999,999/300,000,000 you will not win.
Dang!! None from Texas????? ;-)
One spin and it better come up green.
ha ha- good one..
