Keystonechas i think what rjoh is saying is if you took away every penny donald and bill had they would be right back on top again within a few years. It's not what you know in the money world so much as who you know throughout there lives they have dealt with and worked with many infulential people whom would be more than willing to help them build there empire again.Ol jack might not be in the same class as they are but never the less he was a millionair before he hit the lottery. From doing h... [ More ]

I find this hard to believe Ol Jack has construction companies and bought lots of land. He was a millionaire before he hit powerball I doubt seriously if he is broke. He might have given away and spent most of his winnings. But he's a fry cry from being broke. One of his main businesses is putting in and repairing septic systems which in itself was keeping his pockets full. Since winning he has started several construction business to build developments on the properties he bought. So I would li... [ More ]

RJOH hard to say he probably buys more than a hundred dollars worth and at different locations from what i'v read about him he is a heavy gambler.

Old Jack W. is probably still buying a $100 worth of QP's when ever the jackpot is over $200M, keep things simple that way and don't have to worry about the change.RJOh

It only takes 1 buck to win. Old Jack W. was a millionaire before he hit and bought 100 dollars worth of tickets every time he went to that particular store. Undoubtedly there are perhaps thousands of people who would bet the food and rent money trying to hit for 200 million.....

I was wondering if most you tend to buy more tickets and more quickpicks when the jackpot gets so high? I tend to just buy around $5 maybe $10 since I would rather keep money available in case things like that keep rolling over. I recall Jack Whittaker used to play $100+ and it dventually paid off for him. But I'm sure he wasn't the only person in the U.S. laying that sort of cash down for each draw.Good luck to everyone too.
