Mega millions is that high apparently, i for one will be going to get myself a ticket. A few weeks ago, i got two fortunes in one fortune cookie that said "There are riches headed your way" and "Financial prosperity is coming your way" so i figured i might as well get one right? inb4 kids not old enough to play.
 
there is a 35% tax, so you'd get like 270 million, so its really not even worth it, if i wanted that sort of petty cash id just go grab a roll of $100 bill tp from my bathroom
 
Fuck yeah! Funny thing about huge lotteries like this, few people are playing thinking they are actually going to win, but nearly everyone is throwing down that dollar for a ticket for some of the best day dreaming about what to do with all that money there is until Friday night. I can already see my own personal ski resort now...
 
Whats the point? It just means your odds are that much worse of hitting it.

To me anything over 5 wouldn't even matter.

I'll just play poker and win money while you guys piss away $ on a sad dream
 
Not that it is a good investment, but anybody who thinks their odds fluctuate based on the prize shouldn't be playing poker for money. FYI, mathematically this isn't the worst gamble now that the payout is over four hundred million; since the odds are 1 in 176 million, if you play it infinitely many times, you will come out ahead (assuming I am right that tickets are a dollar). Of course I am guessing that if you take a lump sum, after taxes you probably get like 100-150 million.
 
you dumb. take the bulk payment and invest 99% of it. by the time you finally get all %60 of the winnings, i will have more than doubled my money.
 
It is essentially a way to extract extra funds out of lower and middle class citizens who think they have legitimate chances at winning.

I might just go buy one.
 
I plan on earning my first 500 million by going a more traditional route. Start a hedge fund or create a product and over price it so people will like it more.
 
I already got my plan. Buying myself a nice chill condo. , buy a audi r8 v10 spyder, range rover, mom new car and give her money to take care of her for the rest of her life. Take lump sum comes in around 250 mill, invest the rest. Live a modest life for the next 25 years just chilling and working. Find a nice girl who doesn't think im that loaded. Boom hit her that im retardtly rich, buy a sick yacht, houses, and ball out
 
I'm buying 1 ticket because all you need is 1. If I win, I am buying sooooo many wives from Russia, then I'll throw a giant party in an undisclosed location (in America) and everyone on here will be invited. I won't be at the party because I'll be too busy fucking my wives, but the party will still happen. I figured only about 100 of you will come, so I will buy like 8 30's of PBR, leave it in the middle of the forest in this location (probably like 4 hours west of Memphis) and you guys can go crazy!

This haha. But yea I'll probably pick up 10 or so tickets. Obviously the odds are stacked against us, but someone's gotta win!
 
a kid I went to school with's dad got that same fortune last year. ended up winning 4 million in the loto.

with half a billion on the line, fuck yeah I'm throwing my name in the hat. Someone's gotta win. And im ready for a change in my life for the better.
 
Shut up. Its obviously extremely unlikely that you win. The point is that somebody has to win. Why not pay a dollar or two to give yourself a chance at the most incredible thing ever
