Who's Playing the Power Ball?

[HutterFlutter]

It's t-minus one hour before the drawing and I wanted to see who else bought tickets. I also thought it'd be a good "GTKY" thread, too, because let's hear what you'd do with $500 million buckaroos (We're pretending you get to keep every penny-no taxes allowed- and that you're the only winner).

I'd get in touch with my lawyer and financial experts first, before I even claimed the prize in order to get everything in place. I'd then request the immediate lump sum payout. Then, give a good chunk to charity (St Jude and ASPCA are near and dear to me). Then help out the immediate family with any bills or mortgages, and then live off the interest. Plus, obviously money is saved for DD and any future children as well.

Is it sad I've thought this through?

Lol my husband made me stop on the way home from dinner and he bought $20 worth. I haven't thought it out really but I know a bigger house would be on the list. And LO would have a damn good wardrobe

We play every week! It's my dh's guilty pleasure! hopefully one day we might actually win!

We played and lost. ?. Bigger house on land. I'd quit and volunteer at my school. My school needs new plumbing and I told DH we were writing the check for it regardless if what it costs. I'm saddest that I can't do that. The rest wasn't needed.

My dad told me too, but I didn't have time to stop. I would pay off all my bills though and then pay my family's as well. Did anyone win?

[HutterFlutter]

Someone from N. Carolina won. Aren't there a lot of November 14 ladies from there? Maybe one of them won. Haha.

I did not play and only have maybe a small handful of times. Definitely hire a lawyer & financial advisor. Pay off mortgages for families. Buy a few vacation homes, give to charities near & dear to my heart, etc. nothing too wild. except my new guilty pleasure would be a collection of frye boots!
