That's the way to do it, CinCin.

And I stop down there in your town and get a couple of them yeller barbecue sandwiches every time I go down 26.

At that place with all the billboards along the highway.

I'd love to win enough to make the life I had left filled with days of no financial burdens..I'd love to win enough to be able to do that for my kids and future grandkids too if possible...I really don't wont to win so much that I'd have to change my life , such as relocate, but I sure wouldn't complain about winning that kind of money...It's just not my ideal win..my ideal win would allow me to keep as much of my life the same, just minus financial burdens..

If I win real big then I would set up a nest egg with a small portion of it and use the rest of the winning to set up some scholarship/charity.

If you believe that colleges are tools of Satan, well, I won't argue with you. Satan just has to sit back and laugh at us messing things up. He doesn't have to lift his finger.

They already allow us to take a portion while they take the rest. Their portion is called taxes.

Whoa... that's one of his more well known quotes - The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.

And he was one of the originators of minimalism.

You must have been reading somebody who was referencing him or had been influenced by his writings then.

Check him out for some good reading.

Good luck

@ rdgrnr: I guess it goes to prove that old adage: Great minds think alike ? Not to 'big maself up', you know, but the honest truth is I don't know who Henry David Thoreau is - never read him and it's the first I've ever heard of him. Certainly agree with him, though.

...lives of quiet desperation...

I do believe that's the first time I've seen someone on Lottery Post quote Thoreau or expound on his minimalist philosophy in regards to the lottery.

We need more of that.

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone. - Henry David Thoreau

I'd want to win more so to give it away than to keep/hoard it. Of course, I would first secure my family and myself financially - but after that, I aim to give every last nickle away. I see so much suffering going on due to financial lack, that it is hurtful and I would like to fix as much of those financial lack problems for those people who live lives of quiet desperation dealing with economic hardship.

Like tithing to a church in reverse. Simply give back 90% of the jackpot to the state.

Perhaps if you think the winnings are more than you can handle the states could be convinced to allow you to take only a potion of your winnings and give the rest to them.

I guess it depends on your personal definition of 'that much'... I dont need to win 'that much' - which would be over 300M. So I agree with you, just with a slight tweek to your basic definitional premise.

There's a church bingo hall in my neighborhood, that pays out $750 on a Tuesday evening.

You've got to be willing to shell out at least $20, to have a decent chance at that jackpot however.

Everyone has their own situation that is why there are so many different games.

A 25 year old most likely could use a bigger jackpot than a 75 year old but, again, that depends on the individual

situation. Don't limit your imagination.

Lack of imagination corrupts the soul more than money.

Look at those Billionaires who spend money on electric car companies and private space companies and asteroid mining companies and all the other things they are spending it on!

I don't think you need a massive amount, however I don't want to block my blessings. To win a little something would be nice so you could have options and convenience. Happy lottery playing and good luck!

Do I need to win that much??? Hmmm think about this...Do you really need a car?? God gave you to feet you can walk whever you want to go...Do I need a television?? Well you could sit around and listen to the radio like they did in the 30's and 40's or talk to your family better yet....People don't need to win that much...but like everything else it would make life easier and more comfortable....For me I say bigger is always better and more is better than less....Im sorry Im a huge capitalist.......

I guess I need a couple of millions and use it as a nestegg to boost my life in general. I have no intention to retire even if I win.

I don't need a house. If I invest in mid-risk income investments then I might fetch a few thousand dollars per month. That's sweet enough for me.

Even if I won $100 mil, I'd still invest 90% of the prize for income properties and other funds that generate incomes. And I'd run a charity foundation that helps vets in So Cal with the incomes from the investm... [ More ]
