  Do you think someone will hit Powerball jackpot in Michigan this Saturday? The jackpot at 255 million.

  I've been changing numbers to get what I feel are the perfect 10 lines. I do have some skin in the game in Michigan. I also have some in quite a few other states.

  May the balls bounce in your favor!

  My gut says it's due for someone to win, but no opinion on what state the winner will be in.

  ArizonaDream where do you live now? If your dream is to live in Arizona then we should get people to give you money. So you can have a house in Arizona. Maybe we can get you a house in Scottsdale, Arizona. It's a great place to live.

  Oh that would be nice!  My dream is to retire to AZ, or at least somewhere much warmer than Illinois. 

  I think I'd be fine with the summer heat if in retirement mode, but not so much if I had to commute and generally keep a working person's schedule.  I think Sedona would suit me, but real estate is expensive compared to Tucson or Scottsdale.

  ArizonaDream. You sell your house for 180,000 and then get people to give you 100,000. Like 1000 people give you 100 each. That 100,000. Both would be 280,000. Then you get a house in Scottsdale, Arizona for 280,000. What you think of that idea?

  I think the odds of it happening that way are worse than of me hitting LD lotto for 100,000 to 500,000. And I'd have to subtract what's still outstanding on my current mortgage. 

  I have 3 or 4 townhouses in Tucson on my Zillow list in the 150 to 230,000 range that I'd be happy with. There was one for 300,000 that I really liked, but someone bought it.

  I know a guy that want to Arizona for about 24 weeks and then come back to Michigan. It was hot in Arizona for about 24 weeks then back to Michigan and it was hot. In Arizona for summer time it really hot over there. Are you really going to move to Arizona soon?

  No not real soon, got some years until I can retire. I could decide to be a snowbird (migrating south just for the winter)

  Jackpot's up to 300 / 184 cash.  I'm sticking to MM for now, but tempted.
