Well good for the ones who do something positive with it and sad for the ones who destroy their lives. Everyone who has bought Tickets has always had the thought of what they would do and spend it on. Some i guess get caught up in the excitement and go wild with it. For me, im more logical with what i would do. i had several thoughts on if i won. Many positive and many Negative. My husband of course has made some pretty wild ideas that of course i laugh and say NO! He said we can build a waterslide in the house lmao... Im more down to earth with thinking in the long run of making every penny count. To plan our future and our Daughters Future.. Also had to explain to him, the negative point of winning. Friends would change, family will change. The lotto can be such a burden and a blessing. So for the Winners , i Hope more make good of it... Also anyone know? For Mega Million/Powerball has their ever been a Winner in Oregon... See alot of California's and Eastern state Winners... You have a pool in your house that has NO water slide????/ What a piker...... Get a slide......... | | |

I have simple plans. When I win the lottery, I'll immediately avoid publicity like the plague; apparently, publicity seeking lottery winners have a higher rate of failure than non-publicity seekers. Then, I'll pay my taxes up front, for the full 35% (paying at 25% (which the lottery defaults to) without considering how much your full tax bill will end up being is how most winners get in trouble with the IRS). After paying taxes, I'm officially retired. I'll gift my immediate family & close friends I already have (who have stuck with me through thick & thin). Then, I'll buy my dream house & car. After that, I'll put aside a set amount for frivilous spending (which is what financial planners advise winners to do, to get the crazy spending out of your system; in my case, it'll be an all expense paid (by me) trip to vegas with my buddies). Then, I'll invest the rest into long term, safe, fire & forget investments (that I don't have to check the market on a daily basis for) and live off the interest within a written monthly budget; the excess income above my monthly budgeted needs goes to charities I've already designated. Lastly, I'll volunteer my time at local charities; gotta stay busy or there's too much of a temptation to spend money to alleviate the boredom. | | |

Interesting points- 1: learn to say "NO" to folks (strangers in particular) seeking hand outs. 2: Say Yes to causes that have been endearing to your principles in life whatever that maybe. Unless its a cause to harm others..... 3: Its absolutely IMPOSSIBLE to say you wont tell a soul. The lottery will find out, Uncle sam will find out, so get real and deal with the wealth maturely . Even if you have a "fictious trust" papers have to filed by a lawyer, so you'll need to be "telling" someone. 4: Enjoy it, it can make you or break you, that is your choice to make. ________________________________ Into the peace and light went my beloved Mother....12/4/2012.

I have seen worse ideas take off and make a ton of money. Look at Jersey Shore Show, etc. Better to try if you have a creative idea than not at all. Wasn't really creative though... It's an idea that's been done and failed repeatedly over the last 25 or so years even in times when that business was at its peak. Don't recall it being his idea but that of the guy who contacted him and is responsible for that bad idea multiple times in the past and I think is the one who is going to be trying it again. You can't predict random. | | |

Haha. She's from Oregon, so thought she probably lived in Baker Oregon. I used to work for a bakery as a pilot. I'd take the dough from here and pile it over there. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk, nyuk... | | |
