Are you playing?

What would you do with that kind of money?

My office did a collection pool. If course its 20,000 times more likely I'll die in a car accident, but somebody has gotta win!

Just imagine how much it would change your life. You could go anywhere you want, and do almost anything you want to.

I envision a yacht with a personal helicopter and docked jetskis, holding fabulous parties with lots of women walking around in skimpy bikinis, wearing a suit that costs more than some peoples car.

For a guarunteed win, you'd have to buy all 176 million combinations of tickets

If you bought 2 tickets a second, it would take you 11 years!


11 years!

No idea if my dad was joking but he wanted to buy 1,000 tickets. Then again not sure we can even buy tickets in Canada.

Anyways I've heard you only get the money through out 26 years (which is still good) although you can give up 25% of it for the whole amount immediatly.

But yeah, 600M$ is crazy. You can give a million to your sisters, brothers, parents, uncle, aunts, hell even your cousins and still be set for life.

Chances are someone else will match also and you'll end up splitting it 2 or more ways... thus losing money.

I bought 7 tickets, won $3. Not what I had in mind...

Should anyone win a fortune and be willing to donate some of it to SRF, please make sure you send a private message to me.
Let's not bother Ryoko with such frivolities.

I'll make sure you get the two dollars.
After all a transfer of such a large sum could take a while and Ryoko is a busy guy.

Buy a house, car, get my bike license/truck license/pilot license, then buy a bike. Get my parents a new house, a 2nd car, my sis a 2nd car and help them pay off their house. Upgrade all my electronics obviously. For the rest just to the bank with it, for now obviously :]

I'd never enter a lottery to begin with, but if I just so happened to have won by some random chance I'd give the money away. I'd keep enough to buy a quiet, clean little house on a small property that I could live on/raise a family on one day and that's it. Every other cent I'd give away to people who need it more than I do and just live my life like normal.

I like my career (even though I recently quit my job, but that was for personal reasons and not work related reasons). I like the field I work in and want to continue doing so. I like saving and budgeting, I find real joy out of saving for weeks and months to buy something. It's a sense of accomplishment that I feel having that much money would eliminate. I don't need that much money, it would only make me sad. As long as I have the satisfaction of knowing there will always be a roof over my own head, and hopefully the heads of my family if I meet a nice lady one day, than that's all I really need.

You'd probably do better investing it smartly, still keeping your career, still living frugally, still managing and budgeting (just with more money), and with the growth from investing it you could help more people over a longer amount of time then by simply lump sum dumping it into charities and what-not. That would be extremely satisfying I think. Keep investing, build the fortune, but at the same time use it to help others. Win.

Also, I'd like to point out that I was correct that the pot would end up being split. :D
