Being run over by a Mack Truck would be the most humane way to exit.

WaLottoDude — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 19:40:20 GMT

As long as I was the only one that won the drawing and I could pass the money onto my family (that's left) after the 10 years. I'd do it. Live those 10 years to the fullest and die knowing my family is taken care of for the remainder of theirs

I couldn't possibly enjoy the money while knowing the time is ticking, especially the last year. I would be a nervous wreck.

would make a good short story. the devil offers the deal to 1 guy, and he agonizes, and talks to people about winning lotto with family and trusted freinds. after he decides tthat hell play the numbers, playing the nunmbers is acceptance of the contract.

then the day afterr finds out EVERYONE in america also got offered the deal, and their winning is 0.20c on the dollar.

the devil returns to hell laughing, a much jauntier,, and soul rich demonic overlord.

For the sake of argument, this question would assume that you were the sole winner of the jackpot.

Time does fly much faster when your older, I totally agree! Therefore I would recommend that a very young person took advantage of this offer.

Bliss is a state of mind, control your mind, and your care free bliss will be assured

Good topic mcginnin, but let's say you go for the ten years left only to find out 5,000 other people all went for it.

Also, time does fly, ten yers would go rather quickly. The older you get the faster it goes.

Someone here on LP once posted that when you win a jackpot you're not really problem free, you just trade one set of problems for a comletely different kind. So I don't think anyone could count on total care free bliss. Well, maybe if t... [ More ]

Thanks mcginnin56, whoo knows??? The most sure path to total care free bliss may in fact be.....

food stamps and welfare checks

mcginnin56 — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:19:09 GMT

I respect your position on this proposal Ronnie316.

Not everyone will be on board to receive a quarter of a billion dollars.

For those that are still unemployed, at least they can be assured that the food stamps and welfare checks, will continue to roll in.

Ronnie316 — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 14:06:14 GMT

LOL. Excellent thought mcginnin56, but the reason cash is called cold and hard is because cash alone can never create total care free bliss lol. lol. Nice try though. My answer would be a resounding NO. lol.

If you were to be guaranteed to have the winning numbers, for the $250 million Powerball jackpot for this Thanksgiving, would you agree to have

just ten years remaining of your life?

They say it's not the years in your life, but the life in your years. Quality of life is what it's all about, right?

That's 3,650 days of total care free bliss.
