3 million before taxes preferred but 1 million before taxes would do just fine.

I'd have to say, it would have be the 100 million (after taxes that is). If I was to do all the things I'd like to do with the windfall and have plenty to live off of for the rest of my life, it would have to be the 100 million! 1) The women children's shelter here would be torn down and rebuilt! the one in Vegas would have plenty of help with the monthly electric and water bill being paid for a very long time! Since they just rebuilt that one in 1996. 2) The Boys Girls Club would also be to... [ More ]

You know I use to feel that way. But know I am happy for people who win things. However I do feel sad for those who say win the next draw after someone has won 250Million then they win say 15 Million. The reason I feel sad for them is because that just maybe their friends or extended family might view them as being a rich as the previous winner.

That being said I do like to see Lottery Pots grow, In Canada they don't go over 30 or 40 Million very much... However there are no Taxes and you ge... [ More ]

2 million would be fine with me, but I too could do with 1 million.

How about $12,345,678.90.

Or does $123,456,789 look better?

Just for the sake of symmetry , ya know?

Actually, $2,000,000 or so would do nicely.

It seems like everyone feels the same way. We'd all like to win a LARGE lump sum, but we also realistically know that even a small prize could be life changing. Ideally, I would want to win 100 mil after taxes, so I'd never have to worry about money again, and neither would my parents and close relatives. I also know that 1 million dollars could be very helpful. Either way, I'm crossing my fingers that I win. It looks like someone from Texas won the Mega Millions. Does anyone else get irratated...

Right now there is enough food to feed the world. Cept that food doesn't get to people for other reasons. People need to stop decieving themselves that their donations actually help world hunger that much...

If donations and such actually did a thing... then Bono would have figured out a way to wipe out hunger by now

It's politics that are keeping people hungry.... change the world leaders and end a lot of problems of this world.

I would like to say win about 40 Million after all is said and done.... taxes fees etc....

However 10 to 15 Million after taxes and intial fees for professional would work as well.

I have a list of things and how much they would cost for differing prize amounts. So I know basically how much I would need to begin the dream and where monies would go and such.....

15 to 20 Million would be good..... However anything over the 11 Million alotted to what I wanna do on the h... [ More ]

My dream has nothing to do with money. Obviously, from the time on this post I wish I could just fall asleep!

However, if I won $3 million cash/after tax I'd be just fine. $1 million would be okay, a second million would be nice to invest for security, but I also want to share.

Sure, I'd like a billion dollars so I could buy enough land for an animal sanctuary and billions more to feed hungry people all over the world. But I know a small amount like $1 million would change my life... [ More ]

My dream includes so much for other causes so.........$400,000,000.00. That is just a modest estimate.

I certainly could live on less than a billion, but my dream is to be a billionaire.

I look at it this way the more I win then the more I can give to family and some friends. Say I win the Mega Millions tonight. After taxes and lump sum that about 50 million give or take. Now I could live very happily on that. Just invest half and live off the interest and still have a lot of money to blow . But if I were to win 100 million after taxes I look at it as all the more money to give to friends and my family. I would want at least 20 million in the bank that I would not touch... [ More ]

How much would it take to live your dream?

MissNYC — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 22:41:10 GMT

I'm just curious. Everyone has their own idea of a mega jackpot. For some, it's 20 million, for others, its 50, while others would say it was 100 million. Of course we'd all rather win 100 million over 20 million, but how much would it take for you to live your dream, and how much would that dream differ if you won 20 million vs. 100? I ask because I always wonder, how much money is enough to never have to worry or think about it again
