My brother right now is scrupulously saving any lottery tickets he has.
He won quite a bit of money in Las Vegas earlier in the year, and any money he loses in the lottery counts against those winnings when the taxman cometh.
Chump! If I’m not going to win the lottery, the lottery I’m not going to win will be that huge Powerball (or is it MegaMillions) $340 million jackpot. Losing $20 million is losing nothing compared to that.
Exactly! If you’re not gonna win the lottery you might as well not win a big lottery. That’s why I’m buying my two tickets, like I always do when the Powerball gets above $100 million or the Roadrunner Cash above $100 thousand.
Build yourself a mountain fortress complete with automated fifty calliber machine guns, 75 inch cannons and an atomic power plant. That way you and a colony of the best and brightest will be safe when the revolution comes.
I have a lottery ticket for the $340 million Powerball tomorrow night. I’d take the cash option, which after a 25% federal and 6% or so state deduction off the cash option would net me a cool $115 million free and clear.
What would I do with $115 million? Get two accountants, two lawyers, and a Bugatti Veyron, but I’d buy the car before I got the money men so they couldn’t talk me out of it.
After that, who knows? I do know that I wouldn’t quit the military. They’d have to throw me out.
I bought a lottery ticket in the Australian Powerball lottery to give to my husband for our anniversary tonight. We don’t have to win or anything - I’d be happy with a hundred thou’.
