  I need me that big ol' PB prize.
  Please, let it be just one winner, me.

  I vow to do good things with all that lettuce: donations to the childrens' hospitals,
  seeking out families of adult conjoined twins, to help, etc.
  All in the USA.
  

  If I win, I vow also to buy only one big house, one Porsche, one Harley, and a GoldWing, as my personal toys.  Maybe a Lambo too, I don't know.

   

   

   

  (oh,  a  Lambo too now, is it?  the Panamera isn't good enough?)
  
  

  • Don't chase the numbers you play.
    
  • Play only numbers you've already played, plus however many random picks.
    
  • But, ALWAYS the regular numbers you play.  This will make you a winner, not a chaser.
             (so far, though, I've yet to win any significant lotto prize)
    
  • Oh, but always know where your tickets are, as well as your ticket's deadline.

  I decided today to get a powerball ticket was not going to play but said someone has to win eventually so why not me and that is the mentality that you have to have to win anything in the lotto.  Just buy a ticket and see out your luck sometime you win sometimes you lose but at least you tried.-weshar75

  You left out the in-ground swimming pool Groppo.  Not one over the top Olympic size, of course.  Just something big enough for half a dozen or so people to float around in.  Oh, and the Yeti cooler, can't forget that; iced down with your favorite flavors hooked to a floatable rope for easy retrieval.

  You are absolutely correct, weshar.  Someone, sometime, somewhere, will eventually win.  It could be anyone of us, if we have a ticket that is.  Buy a ticket, sure it will probably be a loser... BUT, it could be THE winner!  Here's to the luck of the draw!

  Google knows (danm near) everything. Pegasus was reportedly sold in 2011 for a mere $98 million. Alfa Nero was reportedly offered for $190 million in 2009. Of course you could charter either of them for quite a bit less. The Pegasus can be had for as little as 200k per week, plus expenses.

  I enjoy the tropics enough that I can appreciate the fun of owning something that's a more reasonable size, but unless you're really interested in operating it as a charter yacht simply chartering a yacht now and then is far more practical. OTOH, if you own it you can use it almost anywhere, instead of being limited by where charters for a particular boat are available. And you an just leave a bunch of stuff on board instead of having to always travel with your stuff.

  Actually, you blew it with wanting a Harley AND a Gold Wing.

  No self respecting Harley rider would EVER be seen on a Gold Wing. And I'm not even a biker.
