So the mega millions is at 500 million for Friday's drawing. When it gets high like this, I HAVE to play.... I usually get $3 or $5 bucks worth and let the machine pick the numbers.
So when do you guys decide it's time to try for a big jackpot, and how much do you usually spend for tickets on each draw? Do you let the machine pick for you, or do you have a set of numbers you play all the time?
... and if you won, what would be the first 10 things you'd do with the money?
I'll play this time. I wait till its huge so I can really feel the depression when I lose;)
I also play if I dream about the numbers.
Top ten I'd do?
Keep 20 mil for me
2. Give out a ton to my friends that need it ! 1 mil each
3. Take the rest and buy an old hospital that is for sale and create a homeless shelter.
I have a plan for this just to big to explain in a short post.
Each person would be responsible for chores, daily attempts at getting a real job making sure their dr appointments are met etc. There would be rules including a no drugs rule.
4. I'd also start a no-kill animal shelter
1) hire a better accountant one skilled in corporate buisness
2) hire a personal secretary , one skilled at keeping my family away!
3) hire protection , preferably armed!
4) hire only escorts , preferably ones that know their way out!
5) buy BELAMI so LUKAS RIDGESTON would be forced to marry me!
6) buy a cabin which overlooks a lake with a porch swing and a boy who delivers groceries from the general store in town. - I'm still a lumber jack kinda'man and money isn't going to change that! - LOL
7) rent an entire cruise liner to myself and take a trip around the world. - my ultimate fantasy is to be alone since I'm always surrounded by people.
8) drink wine everyday!
9) invest in gold continously and heavy till I eventually influence the worlds economy.
10) write a will which leaves the remainder of my assets in the event of my death to the boy who delivers groceries.
sadly as is with money these days it doesn't take me that long to spend it! - LOL
- jim "random number" lottery ticket buyer!
jim -- you rarely fail to give me a good chuckle -- and that post is no exception! Those are some great ways to spend a lot of money!
I'll usually buy about $5 worth of tickets when it gets above $300 million -- if I happen to hear about it.
I obviously haven't won yet. :(
They always say it's cheaper to rent than buy.Quote:

( I believe in making it a safe world for our GLBT youth especially at a time when I myself was looking for answers ... and that's the reason I'm a slut today! - LOL )
I'm still looking forward to my "log cabin" of course at this rate I may have to build because the ones I've located don't have villages with boys that deliver groceries ... damn I may have to build a village too! - LOL

:) , either way it's gotta be cheaper than having a "boyfriend" , I remember when giving them a credit card with a $3000.00 max was enough now it's closer to $10,0000.00 - $12,000.00 and they want it available monthly. - LOLQuote:

Well, as of 12:30 today, the jackpot is $640 Million dollars! It's the largest jackpot ever offered in the world.
For myself, my first 10 things would be:
1. hire an attorney
2. pay off my bills
3. :convertible: buy a new car, truck, RV and hire a cute/sexy lookin' dyke driver.
4. buy a house with enough garages for the above. I want someplace with nice year round weather, a stocked lake nearby, plenty of trees and not too long a drive to gather up everyone and go into town for the day. I am sick of 5 months of snow and cold and such, it just increases my daily pain level and I would be happiest to be out of that kind of climate.
5. give $$ to my siblings, and my mom, and same for Che's family, and quite a few of our friends would definitely benefit as well.
6. find a doctor that won't stop testing until he finds out why Che' has non-epileptic seizures... someone like Dr. House !!
7. get a haircut and teeth implants or dentures so I'm purrrty
8. look into investing in, or building, an assisted living communal center for elderly and handicapped lesbian women.
9. travel
10. tear down the house I live in now.... put up a nice one and then give it away.
Well I bought $3 worth...I didn't win, so saying what I would buy if I won is kinda pointless now...My younger brother spent $150 on tickets, and only had 3 numbers, all on separate lines!! I figure you only need to spend $1 to win, and only $1 is gonna get you to win, so $150 is $149 too much! (even my measly $3 was too much! No coffee at work tomorrow!)
I spent $5 - and didn't win either. Put coffee into a thermos and take it with you~
I need to buy the coffee first rofl. I did get some, my office manager ran to get some from StarBucks, she bought, so next time is my turnQuote:
