October 20, 20187 yr I could work with that Only 4 people have wins jackpot this year. Shows you how shitty the odds are.
October 20, 20187 yr I'd take the payments just to be sure I didn't blow it all on hookers in the first year.
October 20, 20187 yr But how much are hookers anyway? Even at $2000 grand a night, you’d still have a ton left over for blow on the annuity.

October 20, 20187 yr $2000 grand a night seems expensive for a hookerI remember a comedian saying he loved crack, because it brought the price of pussy down to $5. You could have crack hoes 24 hours a day.

October 22, 20187 yr Author But if we are doing this for realz, as the title suggests, I really wonder if my marriage would survive it. I would have great difficulty in having anyone remotely suggest what, when, and where I was going to be spending my time and money. Scratching off half of that might be the simplest play.

Or give yourselves a $1-2 million a year, each, discretionary spending budget.

October 23, 20187 yr Question for you lottery buffs, from Friday's draw. I will check at lottery station after work, but do matching any of these numbers mean I get some small winnings?

October 23, 20187 yr Anything i want. Probably try and buy a well established vineyard in Napa that is cash flow positive, buy that, live there most summers, and not fuck it up. Keep Houston as home base. It much else really. Start a foundation that helps homless vets with mental health, hunger and housing, and possibly job post combat/ptsd. Something like that.
October 23, 20187 yr Bought some tickets for first time in about ten years. I went ahead and quit my job. Not sure what I’m gonna do with all the money yet
October 24, 20187 yr I can’t imagine the hassle that would come with a jackpot that big. I’d seriously consider giving all but about 20M away. That would be fun.

October 24, 20187 yr If you got $500M free and clear you could afford to give $1M to every American and still have generational money in the bank. Imagine that little social experiment.
