  Contrary to my name i would be happy with 2 million after taxes.  If i put that money into an interest earning account at 5% i'd earn around 100k per year.  Of course anything more than 2 million would be more than welcome.

  I think I need at least $ 3,000.000 to be able to retire since I got at least 25-28 years before being eligible retirement.

  9million:

  You live in the best powerball state to win in.  So if any one would win you probably have a good chance to hit the jackpot or 100,000.

  9 million would be enough, provided I took the cash.

  CO:

  You don't sound too sure you'd be taking the "Cash."

  Me, I'd do it for $7M

  May the warm winds of heaven blow softly upon your house. May  the Great Spirit bless all who enter there. May your mocassins make happy tracks in many snows. And may the rainbow always touch your shoulder.

  you make it seem like my chances of hitting a jackpot are no less than 50/50.  that kind of talk makes me consider maxing out my credit cards and quitting work preemptively in anticpation of wed. powerball drawing!

  9million:

  I was trying to say that PA has a lot better chance of hitting the jackpot then my state OR.  Since PA joined the powerball they have been at the top for wins while OR has yet to win a jackpot.
