$363 MILLION: Mega Millions lottery jackpot raised due to heavy sales

Haha yeah... im smarter than that and btw i already have a girl so i was jokin... but really i would hop on a plane out of the country till things cool down... probably go to amsterdam for a while... dont know if i would come back... probably just live in europe...

Amsterdam!! oh lord!! You go there your defintely not coming back! lol

When I win, all you or anyone will hear is the sound of silence.  Nothing will change in my life (visibly) and life will continue on.  Will things change?  of course; will others see it?  not a chance.  can someone/I pull that off?  Done it before, will do it again.  :)

Would any of y'all say anything on lp if ya won?

I don't see why not, what would be so bad about that?

Unless you got secret scammers on the site ready to fill up the inbox with request, yuck!!

If I win I will tell and post up the winning ticket.

for what possible reason would you want spend your day investing your money in various funds and stocks. so you could make more money? you would have to spend the whole day worrying about being swindled by the the money managers you trust. constantly checking your accounts etc. give some to your parents and sister? they would want millions and your other relatives would hate you if you didn't cough up a large chunk for them. you would have to pay off their mortgates and vehicles and fund all your nieces and nephews college expenses forever or they would feel like your a chump. do you really want to live in a compound with hired security outside your gates 24 hours a day. what are you going to do all day? stay home and make investments? quit your job, reallly. everyone at your job would hate your guts unless your gave them thousands upon thousands and then they wouldn't want to work. rethink your dream and hope you only win the 250k second prize.

Yes, I would also give Todd the first interview. My attorney would be claiming our prize under an LLC hidden behind a trust so I wouldn't be too concerned about my identity being splattered through the media.

We just got our tickets earlier this evening and I can at least dream for another 24 hours or so

What you gonna do, sit around and watch the intrest accrue?  Drink/smoke/snort yourself into oblivion?  Whats your plan???....you can't just sit on the beach all day everyday....this is about true financial freedom...working and having a purpose is important.  Idle minds are not healthy.  What's your plan???

Everyone has a different definition of "financial freedom." To some it means buying a nice house and car. To others it means never having to work again. You'd be surprised what it means to some individuals. Some poeple would like to just go to concerts, go shopping for clothing, go to the movies, try new restaurants, provide for their children and grandchildren, have a nice wedding, etc. You'd be surprised what people aren't able to do because of financial obligations. Imagine the little things that you don't get to buy or experience because of financial restrictions.  You'd be able to do those things if you win the lottery. 

There's so much of this world to see. If you like traveling, you won't have time to sit around or do drugs.  There's no way that someone has experienced all the great things that this planet has to offer. Even if you aren't into philanthropy and living in your purpose, traveling and seeing people from all walks of life will definitely spark something in your heart and mind that will lead you in the right direction. 

Good luck to all!

Ya, i would tell you guys. I would ask Todd to disable my message box though because of all the spam I would get.

Both my husband and I are involved in the financial market and we trade for a living. Neither one of us consider this work and there is nothing else we would rather do. We work from home and also have a 3 year old son whom we spend plenty of time with.

If we were fortunate enough to win, there would be no reason to stop what we enjoy doing as we would just re-evaluate our goals and move forward.

whats stopping u from doing that right now?

I could make sure my kids went to the best schools... and definitely the best colleges... my mom could have anything she wanted.. afterall she's sacrificed so much for me... id love to travel and be more cultured.. my kids and some family as well... when i do get married i can have the wedding and honeymoon of my dreams!! my best friend has a child w disabilities and a husband in the army... i could buy them a house and make sure he has the developmental tools he needs... i could donate to the hospital that really helped my son at birth... his medicine alone is $2000 a month.. there's so unbelievably much one could do with this amount of money.. so many people i could help... while i won't blow thru the money... im a firm believer in karma and helping people if im able... even little things like paying for somebody's meal or giving a server an extra generous tip...

Lets see..... MONEY!!!!!!!!

pretty simple really...work,finances, family obligations and free time are the main stoppers from visiting all the states and doing the extras that I would be able to give more time to

thats what winning the lottery is all about, TIME. you'll have time to to figure out what you wanna do with your life. Since im only 21 i have plenty of time to worry about what i wanna contribute to the world but for the time being when i win im just going to chill out and live off the intrest.
