Anyone who wins need to donate at least 50% to charity. This much money for one person is obscene. Please no religious based charities, those are just front ends for spreading their garbage.

What luck, I just set up a charity with myself as the benefactor.
 
$304,000,000

What a lovely number...

At my age, I'd have to take the cash option...which is only $193,600,000.

Tell youse guys what. I'll take this one...you can have the next one.
 
arent the winners alway speople who just walk in and do like a $10 quick pick or pick their own numbers?

It's NEVER the office pools, friend pools, etc.... dunno.


Lots of pools win. Lunch ladys is one I saw on the news as they went back to work. I'm sure some quit shortly after that story.

had a pool win where I used to work about 3 - 5 years ago. After taxes, each got about $200k or so, it was about a dozen in the pool and won a couple of million. And no I wasn't in the pool >_<.
 
Why is that?

$10 a week for 45 years at 10&#37; compound interest give you $465,284.89.

There are many people that I know spends $40 a week, and a few spends $100 a week.

$40w for 45y at 10% interest = $1,861,139.56

$100w for 45y at 10% interest = $4,652,848.89

nice fantasy scenario buying one $1 ticket for big jackpots isn't the same thing. Thanks for the lesson on compound interest though and completely ignoring the fact that most people playing won't be alive in 45 years.
