    Default Who's playing Powerball?

    Crap, it's up to $900 million now!! You would get like $550 million if you took the cash option, which I'll be doing when I win.

    I may purchase the Steelers if I win.

    I bought one! LOL! I just don't know if I could handle it if I won, though I bet there are some who'd help me?

    I'm extremely confident that I could help you with the proceeds should you win. I have a ton of experience in handling money and making it disappear, and it's all legal!!

    jim. If I bought a ticket, and won. I would FIRST dedicate, then purchase at least 100 Million to the airfare, moving, and travel expenses for OBAMA-CLINTON'S, PELOSI, REID for their LIFETIME stay in GITMO.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.

    No winner! For the first time ever I'll be buying a second lottery ticket within a week of the first! Going to spend that $2 and enjoy through Wednesday.

    While there's other things that would take precedence, on the list would be a DP get together. Travel and party on me! Thinking Alaska or Germany?

    I think it will go even higher than that.
    I also know many people, winning would most likely destroy them IMHO.
    ONE WOULD HAVE TO BE GROUNDED IN SOLID CORE PRINCIPLES AND LIFETIME EXPERIENCES TO
    DEFEAT TO COMING PROBLEMS AND RELATIONSHIP CHANGES SUCH A MASSIVE WINDFALL WOULD BRING.
    Should I win, I'd give 90% of the winnings after taxes divided equally among my 9 siblings(5 brothers, 4 sisters)= 10% each.
    Except the twins, Donald and Ronald--theirs I would put in a trust fund as it would destroy them both in less than a year.
    They have no true foundation, no discipline and very lousy core principles. -Tyr

    Y'all don't worry about buying one, I have the winner.

    When I win I will donate 50 bucks to the board and then I will be gone for a while.

    It would be a cross country trip on the scooter, Alaska here I come.

    $1.3 billion and certainly growing! My reflective take-away is a good one, My kids don't need anything! While winning that would allow me to help with some 'upgrading' to say the least, they are already in nice homes-of their own choosings; have better incomes than average for the country; all have cars less than 5 years old-mine's 11! LOL! That's a very good place for me, I did something right long ago. Whether I win or not, my most important job is done and I'm happy with that.

    Funny convo with older son last night:

    "Mom, if you win you'll come back to Chicago, right?" "Spring and fall, holidays if I get the guest room. Hey, IF you win, you'll send me a card or something?" "Bring presents and you'll have the room. Hell, with a billion I'll send you at least a Lobstergram to let you know." Ah, where that sense of humor comes from?
