  Why? Because it is Tuesday eve, which is the beginning of the week's lottery draws and a chance to change your life drastically for the better. 

  We have MM followed the next day by PB and your state lotto and repeated a day later.  Six chances to be financially independent. 

  This week we have MM at $172 million and PB at $121 million.  Respectively, that's $64,507,200 and $45,904,000 post full federal taxes which is great!

  So, good luck, everybody. Enjoy the high before reality returns to bite us in the butt. 

   

  FREEDOM!

  And if MM rolls over, on Friday it will be $186 Million bucks.

  I guestimate that this would be a lump sum of around $113 Million or about $68 million after taxes.

  Either one of those jackpots would suit me just fine.  More than enough to split it three ways as promised AND take care of my immediate family, tithe and those darn taxes.

  Good luck to you and my LP friends whom they know who they are.

  Lejardin: Did you see the story in the DM about the Florida couple who won 1/3 of the 1.5 billion jackpot? They, not the couple, are complaining that they arent spending enough.  They are still in the same house and havent bought a yacht or million dollar cars.  They did upgrade their vehicles and they are not cheap, but not good enough for the tabloids. The wife still does her own grocery shopping, too.

  The horror!!

  No Redd I didnt see the story.  LOL why am I not surprised?  There is always someone complaining about something, good grief.  I applaud them for their lifestyle and imagine sooner or later they may move.  However, if they havent been hounded enough since the win to move, they probably wont.

  The yacht, planes, million dollar cars take a lot of $$$ for maintenance alone.  I would love a trip, ride, or a peek inside a yacht but purchase?  NEVER. 

  In my dreams the most expensive car I would buy is my S550 Mercedes Benz, however a E350 would suffice.  For years I thought I would love a white on white Bentley Continental Flying Spur sedan but it would just take space in the garage.  My biggest expense would be my house, in a location with NO ice/snow or bitter cold.

  Doing her own shopping, is there any other way?  Sounds like the win did not change this couple.  Maybe they invested it in family, friends and charities?  It was such a huge win even split three ways, I still cant comprehend it lol, didnt each winner come out with net of around $400 million?

  Hope you are having a great Independence Day and you are set for tonights drawing, good luck!

  Thank you and the same to you. I am all set for tonight. My numbers look terrible but since I never win when my numbers look good, maybe this is the ticket.

  I won one lousy dollar last night. Let's hope tonight will be better.

  If PB rolls tonight, it goes up to $140 million on Saturday. 

  Good luck, every one.
