Lottery

[Mazzin]

I live in Georgia, and the mega millions is up to $216 million dollars to the winner. I bought two tickets today for $2.00, well worth the money, just curious how many of you guys actually play, i dont even have an idea what I would do with that kind of money, but I'm sure I would be a season ticket holder at Lambeau. Also it was worth the two dollars, because ALL day I have been day dreaming what i would do with it if i did win.

What is your opinion of the whole thing?

What would you do if you won after taxes say just to be safe 100 million dollars, what would ya do?

Where's the answer for "No?"

Best way to win money in the lottery is by not playing and setting the giveaway money in savings.

Yes, that's what I keep telling my wife....over and over...

So I had to vote in the yes area

I agree with Bretsky except to qualify the "savings" should have the money go in your IRA, 401K, or other type of mutual funds. Savings accounts yield minimal percentages.

Like all things in life, you cant win if you dont play.

Where is the option for "all the above"?

[GBRulz]

Where is the "Go the casino" option??

[Mazzin]

I swear I had three more options up, and i don't know where they went. I'm a bit rusty you guys must forgive me, mtp, you can add them in if you want.

Isn't $2.00 about all you need to put down on a house these days?

Hey, Mazzin, screw the lotto, buy a house! Next week, they'll have a "cash back" zero down, zero interest plan.... followed closely of course, by a "reverse mortgage".... LMAO.

Bought my Powerball tickets today. 90 million on Wednesday.

Yesterday I closed a No Money Down 30 Yr Fixed Rate Mortage and the family did not have to come to closing with a penny. $500 Earnest money was all they put into the transaction.

P.S.- Reverse mortgages are screw jobs IMO

I won 10,000 once. I got 6,700 after taxes. Not a huge amount but it was fun....x-mas in July! I paid off a car and had fun with the rest. :P

Lottery winners are statistically miserable and get no respect from their wealthy peers since they didn't earn it and lose all their friends who become jealous.

I don't play that stupid, stupid game. You couldn't pay me enough to win
