PowerBall at $800MILLION

[Sgt Beavis]

Yea, I won't deny it. I'm buying a few tickets.

[white88]

I'm also getting some tonight. I know I won't win but it's always nice to dream about all the shit I would buy.

[jewozzy]

can there be a max on it? if someone doesn't win by the x time do they reduce a number or something to make the odds more favorable? Would be pretty sweet to be the only winner and it hit 1 billion+.

I don't believe there is a limit. I was reading earlier that it could potentially reach $1BILLION before Saturday's drawing. If no one wins, it will definitely go over that mark..

Yep, some buddies from work and I increased our chances to 1:2.92 million. After the market this week, it might be our only saving grace.

I won't play but if I did and I won, I would probably have a heart attack and die. That's a poop load of money. You'd have to be a douche if you didn't use some of that $ to help the less fortunate.

I was laughing at one of the guys on Sportscenter. He said if he wins he is buying half of the Raiders. Lol

The "hookers and cocaine" guy on the news was a trip.

[one slow 5.0]

I'd definitely give some to the single mom's working the pole

i'd cash out i don't think I would take the drawn out payments. I figure that would be about 550-700 million i'd put 50 million in a rainy day fund and another 50 for the kids. at least 100 million in investments that can't really be touched. at least 10 million in real estate. at least 10 million in vegas. and who knows with the rest. Probably buy a shit ton of the huge apartment buildings to run as a business.

Can the winner remain anonymous ?

Cash option after taxes you're looking at $300-325 million.

how could it have gone down from the last drawings estimated earnings of 400 mil?

I could probably manage to live on the dividends from a portfolio of that size.
