Powerball
Who's in tonight? If I win, there's going to be a shortage on rifles, pistols, shotguns and ammo in DFW Metro Area...
And maybe a very large donation to the NRA and TSRA in Barack Obama's, Michael Bloomberg's, and Hillary Clinton's names.

The worst thing about winning? Writing a 9 figure check to the IRS.
Do what you say you're gonna do.

It's still not too bad driving back from Austin a half a billion dollars heavier...Lynyrd wrote:The worst thing about winning? Writing a 9 figure check to the IRS.

That's exactly what I was thinking!

Re: Powerball
Sadly, I didn't win, but I had the same idea as you. Multimillion dollar donations to the NRA-ILA on behalf of Everytown, MDA, Clinton, Obama, etc. Would have been fun.

The joy of dreaming big for the price of 2 bucks is money well spent.

Re: Powerball
Bought 2 tickets for the first time in years. Not a single number matched on either. So I'm $4 lighter, but it was worth the diversion/entertainment value.
A friend likes to say that the lottery is a tax on the mathematically impaired.
My response is "Yes, but it's a voluntary tax".

Re: Powerball
I asked my wife if I should get a lottery ticket. She said, "your $2 would be better spent picking me up some fries on the way home".
