The Lottery is now 1.5 Billion
- Thread starter BCP
- Start date
I'd buy Wyoming. And mebbe a couple congresscritters with the leftovers
Buy up all the houses around TheGerman and turn them all into section 8 and maybe a halfway house.
Cash out option is $750 million plus or minus. Then uncle Sam takes his part (you know, to support Ukraine) at about 40 something percent.
You have to do like the politicians and set up a charity or a foundation to keep the grubby fingers of the IRS out of your pocket.
Just this and its in the same County I live in now LOL
ELK RIDGE RANCH
Elk Ridge Ranch has been revised to include deeded access from the west side of the Ranch off of Sixteen Mile Road. Elk Ridge Ranch is an extremely private mountain ranch with exceptional wildlife reswww.land.com
And that’s just pocket change.
You guys think too small. I’m going to move in next door to Dirty D and get in on some of his action. I would also like a ride on the sub. I’ve always wanted to do a lock in/out dive out of a chamber.
THIS !I would do EXACTLY THIS!
Im old enough & grouchy enough & care ZERO about what others think of me ...
Id be there THORN !!
buy a newspaper, like the new york times.. to pedal your views

and fire some leftists
yup, someone mentioned, elon could get more 'freedom' of speech bang for the buck, buying a few newspapers with online views.
Hey, at least Elon's exposing the coruption.
As for me, Huge fk'n ranch mentioned above, some belt feds to burn my money, and a few women to burn the rest.
Ranch in Montana, 5000 acres or so. Just enough for a 1500 yard range, dirt bike track, shop full of trucks, dirt bikes, and snowmobiles.
Florida compound, 200 acres. Shop full of cool cars, few street legal drag cars, and a street bike or two.
I don't know if it would be cheaper to own a jet or charter one every time I felt like going back and forth. Zero interest in flying, so I'd need a pilot.
Most importantly, I'd take 10 million and divide it amongst immediate family. Then I'd tell them to get bent if they ever need money again. I'm pretty sure a few of them could turn 100k into 10 million, and the rest would be in the trailer park with more debt than they started with.

It would be smarter to "employ" them with your non-profit agency, you know, like the Clinton Foun....
I would buy them houses/small businesses and then tell them to go run them. No actual money. Then I would invade Hollywood and make a whole bunch of rightwing, God-fearing, anti-woke movies to troll the leftists.
Check your tickets...
Here are the numbers for the Powerball drawing for Nov. 5, 2022
Here are the winning numbers for the Saturday, Nov. 5, 2022, Powerball drawing. The jackpot is worth $1.6 billion.

If it paid like keno, I'd be a millionaire.
Bought 10 draws, didnt hit a single number.
60 total numbers didn't match a single one.
Thats losing in style.

I did buy a ticket, but the whole thing is so dumb. Aside from the odds, no one needs a billion dollars. Far better to change the odds so 1000 people win a million bucks!
#1, I'd sure as hell never fly commercial anywhere ever again!

Pretty amazing they can know within one night how many winning tickets were sold and where, but we can't find out election numbers for weeks.

*insert slow clap meme here.
Just checked the website, and it is correct that there was not a winner. There wasn’t even a winner for the million dollar get five but miss the powerball option. Dave Ramsey says the lottery is a tax on the poor. I guess I’m poor.
I won $12. what shal I do with all this new found fortune?
for those that wonder

My calculations - (point out if I'm incorrect)
"before the winner can walk away with a single payment of the prize money of about $929.1 million, a 24 percent federal tax withholding on gambling winnings will be applied.
This would immediately reduce that amount by $223 million for a single prize winner, who would take home $706 million, according to Forbes.
Then an additional $97 million will be pulled for the top federal marginal rate of 37 percent, which would lower the prize amount to $470 million."
cliff notes dailymail mathlump sum - 929 million
gambling tax - 24% tax of 233million = 706 million
Income Tax - 37% tax 97 million (this should be 236m NOT 97m by their calculations) = 470 million
edit - i don't believe dailymail knows math. because 37% of 706million is NOT 97million. 706 - 470 = 236 million
take home - 470 million
so, 1 billion win; take home 470 million
Powerball jackpot rises to $1.9b - the highest in global history
A record Powerball jackpot grew to an even larger $1.9 billion after no one won the lottery drawing on Saturday night.
My calculations - (point out if I'm incorrect)
Maybe I'm wrong, but I get.. 445 million take home
929 @ 24% tax = 222,960,000 or 223 million = 706 million
706M @ 37% = 261m
706 - 261 = 445
take home= 445 million

^ Yesterday, thinking about the lottery, winnings and what would I do with it, I decided I would spend several million dollars advertising nation wide, that very thing.
Maybe its better to stick to sports betting like "Mattress Mack":
