Judging by the number of Wall Street workers that you read about jumping off tall buildings, their lives cant be that envious.

Lotteries don't care who win them nor what losers think of the winners. As though someone is more worthy of winning than someone else. Nonsense. Opinions and judgements are just human nature--doesn't change reality.

That'd certainly be interesting to hear if they were average Joes with money woes

Honestly, I'd give a WTG but mean wtg...them as winners? I think the idea is that

those types of people have enough already. A group of them would split it and

even with the reduced total JP amount they'd get a good boost to make the

good life better.

I'd much rather see the pot split 100 ways between people who REALLY need it.

Or just give me it all, I'll figure out how to help as many people as I can behind

the scenes.

Them?

They'll probably help as many as they can to... [ More ]

Depends on what you mean. Someone on the Instant forum just posted under Florida Scratchers a nice picture of their $2,000,000 win on a Florida Scratcher!

Anyway, back to the topic, who cares if they win as long as they aren't Tiptons

If a group of Wall St workers won it would be quite entertaining when one of our resident kvethcers meowed that

Opinions can change in a heartbeat Music. When Maria Holmes won: the outpouring of positive goodwill from the Forum just about anyone who walked upright was absolutely outstanding. So the l don't judge people statement must be as you said taken with a grain of salt. Why? Because all was well good with the opinion of Ms Holmes..but no sooner did Hot sauce enter the picture and everything changed.

Perceptions, that is the issue here Watson...

I will write your comment of Financial Freedom down. It explores the meaning of money more then the word, Security,does. Each of us will have more options in life after a win.

The challenge will be to hang on to the money while not being accused of being greedy. I would take that accusation with a grain of salt because everyone has their own opinion of winners.

Ok Feather- What if these Wall Street or Hedge fund guys/ gals do pull it off by winning the jackpot and they only to eager to talk to the press. Perhaps saying stuff like we really haven't made much money in our current jobs contrary to public opinion, but now look forward to a life of financial freedom etc etc. Would that have your full attention, would you be transfixed on their stories?.. .Just asking.

I just think it would be really cool if a poster on this site hit a major jackpot.

Who am I to judge who wins? I wouldn't want anyone thinking I was undeserving of winning when I finally do. If you have a ticket, you have as much right to win as I do.

If the winners do interviews, I do like to hear a story of someone (or multiple someones) that finally get their chance to have financial freedom. That's a more enjoyable story to me.

Wouldn't care.

If someone buys a ticket, they have skin in the game.

if this current MM jackpot were won...

By a group working on Wall Street or a pool of hedge fund managers- how would you feel ? Undeserving or what?
