Interesting read, with some simple math!

many monies

3/29/2012 12:32:18 PM

i'm definitely going to buy a ticket... not because i think i'll win, but just for entertainment value... over half a billion damn.

of course you might get a third of that after taxes and the lump sum penalty.

3/29/2012 12:33:52 PM

i think the one time payout is ~$300M

3/29/2012 12:34:56 PM

Many will play, few will win.

3/29/2012 12:35:15 PM

1/3rd of half a billion is a fuck load. take the pay out and run to the hills

3/29/2012 12:36:11 PM

I'll drop a $5 spot between now and Friday night.

Can't win if you don't play. I am sure I won't win though.

I hate when reporters ask people what they'd to with $500 million. Not a damn thing, because no one is winning $500 million on a $500 million jackpot.

^^^^it was $329 million with a $500 million jackpot

If I won i'd donate a sizable chunk to schools. (or open my own private school for students who don't do well at a traditional school.)

3/29/2012 12:37:19 PM

A 1/2 Billion win could only purchase what 1/2 Million could buy in the 1980s

3/29/2012 12:37:58 PM

i'd travel through time and space

3/29/2012 12:52:35 PM

two chicks at the same time

3/29/2012 12:53:35 PM

well played

3/29/2012 12:54:48 PM

Im buyin.

Its exciting, fun, and doesnt cost that much money.

I would easily blow 10 bucks on lunch, so why not eat a sandwich today and grab 10 tickets.

3/29/2012 12:56:09 PM

antiques and blow

3/29/2012 12:57:15 PM

I would buy 2 cars and a house; then I would pay off my dad's and brother's house and build my mom a new one. I would quit my job and go back to school. I would donate to multiple organizations.
