...keeping and making new friends. Especially when it comes out you won 250 million dollars. Some friends will try and exploit you. Some people will try and be your new friends, to exploit you. And finally, if you move into a gated community with 5 million+ dollar homes when the truth comes o...

You are a struggling middle-class person working in a factory, making just $40K a year at the factory in a small town. But suddenly you have now won the lottery! $800 Million! That is the good news. The bad news is that you bought the ticket in a US State that forces you to go public and atte...

You are young and gorgeous. You look like a movie star or fashion model! You have just won hundreds of millions in the Powerball Lottery. Now you are ultra-rich, young, and beautiful. (If you are old, fat, and plain looking, would you still get fancy clothes?) You now have almost unlimited f...

I think with everything that’s going on, if I win, especially an unfathomable amount like hundreds of millions, I would definitely use 50% for good. Not necessarily charity as much as creating different systems companies and other things that can make something good and useful in the world - mayb...

In Australia, there’s this jackpot three times a week called ‘Weekday Windfall’. The top prize is $1 million AUD and there’s no tax on lottery in Australia, so you’d get the full amount. $1 million doesn’t go as far as it used to, so what would you do with it? I could buy a property, but not n...

Me personally I would be in Australia for the grand slam tennis after watching the ashes cricket. What would you be doing now rather than being at work?

If I won the lottery, I would be a really strong, but really chonky gym rat. And I could also do science and math. Probably chemistry and green chemistry. I would learn to cook, but still eat out, and still workout. I would be massively swole.

We already know what people‘s investments, big purchases, and dumb purchases would be. What would you treat yourself to regularly? I for one would probably replace my underwear and socks every three months lol. I love the feeling of fresh underwear and socks. I would constantly be wearing new one...

Does anyone know if a winner has to pay NYC tax on annuity payments even if they move out of the city? I know that you have to pay state taxes even if you move, but I can't find a clear answer on if NYC taxes follow also.

Have any of you ever won the SuperLotto 2nd chance? If so, how were you notified & how much did you win?

I don't have to win the $1.8 billion lottery to be happy. But, I would want to clear $100 million. I would start a few businesses that would help pay me in the long run. I would like a Brazilian steak house, a Dave and Busters-like bowling alley, an international buffet, and a tiny cabin rent...

I'm guess it's going to take between eight and nine weeks for the jackpot to rise enough so I can give a decent amount to my family and keep a good chunk of change for myself.

I have no major debt right now except normal monthly credit card debt for groceries, gas, and paying bills automatically. I just pay that off monthly. That aside, I’d first-off plan to resign my IT career once and for all and step away from that increasingly messy and unsatisfying tech world. ...

Was thinking about this today. I play Powerball when its big and I know realistically it’s just for fun. The odds are sht, but I like the dream part of it. There are also apps that give free entries for smaller prizes (I assume they make money from ads), and then stuff like scratch-offs where yo...

Tonight is the EuroMillions draw for €17,000,000 (tax-free). While everyone is chasing massive mega-jackpots, I’ve already planned my life with this entry-level win. I’d move straight to the South West of France. Imagine a wooden villa right on the Arcachon Bay or by the lake in Hossegor/Capbret...

If you win a progressive jackpot that increases every time it doesn’t hit, do you get the last batch of sales as well? For example PB is at 45 mil. If you hit it tonight do you win 45 mil before cash value & taxes or do you win something closer to 55 mil because it includes ticket sales since...

Quick question- does anyone know where I can find this show- it was actually enjoyable watching it years ago, especially the episode about the man who built a lazy river in his backyard..

A friend and I were day dreaming and talking about what we’d buy. We talked about planes. He would buy one, but not me. He wants to buy one and just absorb the cost so he can skip the airport waiting. Even if he just travels once a month. For me, I can’t justify it. I’d rather buy business cla...

1.6B….over 400M post tax. We all know what we’d buy if we won…… But what popular thing/service/membership etc wouldn’t you buy if you hit it big on Monday (or for any other massive win), that you feel most people would buy? Also who in your family/friends would you leave out of helping out?

Back of the napkin calculations: If you take the cash option, after taxes, and put the remaining in some super-safe investment with a measly 2 or 3 percent return, every month you'd generate more than a HALF MILLION dollars of after-tax cash. Over $15k a day for doing absolutely nothing. It...

I will lead off with lets not get stuck on the post tax breakdown of it all.. I was talking with my wife last night of the what if we won...... I was like I would do 60% for us, 15% for each family and 10% for all of our friends and other random things we felt like giving it away too. So lets ...

I'm currently over $14k in debt from student loans. Once that's paid off, I'd help my sister with hers, get my mom a better trailer house, then travel the country before going global. There's also 3 or 4 charities I wanna help out so each one will get $5k then I'm investing an...

15m, no taxes to be paid. What does your last days of 2025 look like if you won? If I won tonight, it would be the itchiest four days of my life. That wait until Monday for the lottery agent would probably be a dissociative experience, me and my wife wandering around in a complete daze. Next...

I mean . . . do you really want that? Even considering that OK, whoever wins doesn't actually become a billionaire, but they are immediately worth something like $250 million after taxes. I'm not sure I actually want that. Once you break spending about a million a year, maybe even less,...

I wouldn't want to light 200k on fire just for a mediocre experience. There are other options for more reasonably levels. I've gone before with just GA and its still fun and a must see if you are even a little into Golf.
