I might keep my job because it would be something interesting to do (not that they wouldn't have a hard time finding a replacement).

Honestly, after building a house and furnishing it, I think I'd have a few select people killed. In a completely friendly manner of course.

Oh well.  Powerball is on for tonight.  :-)

It surprises me that a lot of people say they'd keep right on working if they won that kind of money.  Personally, I'd have ZERO problem playing golf nearly every day and living by the beach.

Someone could buy Skinner himself with that kind of dough. Though, I can't imagine why they would want to.

First of all, unless someone won the entire $330 Million themselves, which they didn't, if they took the lump sum, it would only be ~$160 Million BEFORE taxes. The Usurper, 0bama would want 40% of that, so that leaves ~$ 96 Million. If they took the payments, which I believe is over 25 years, that would wind up about $7.2 Million per year after taxes. (that cumbersome 40%)

If I won it, I would be able to spend about $5-15 Million right off the bat. (new house with some land, pay for the kid's college, new vehicles, a nice yacht and an airplane) After that, I don't what the hell I'd spend it on. I'd probably donate to a few different charities every year. I MIGHT even be able to change how a few of them are run, e.g., the Navy Relief Society, The American Red Cross, etc.

We all did a lot of homework, and with the cooperation of both the Illinois and California State Lottery offices, were very happy with the access we were given, vis-a-vis our storyline.

And I can tell all you naysayers that our script has NOTHING resembling either "Brewster's Millions", Ice Cube's "The Ticket," or any other previous story concerning a lottery win.

I can honestly say I think you'll all be very pleased with what we've done with this unique, tragic, and heretofore, UNTOLD story!  :-)

I already said I'd buy you a truck if I won it - I guess you missed that.  :bawl:

Aw, come on.  Hollywood is all about remakes, so you need to re-do Brewster's Millions!  I'm thinking Dave Chappelle for the Richard Pryor role, maybe Seth Rogen or Jack Black for the John Candy role. :lmao:

Do you honestly think that finding a house, or better yet, building a house on some flat land - maybe down toward Dallas a little bit - would be a problem when you've got $60 million to spend?   :o 

Hell, you could even have a gold-plated crapper for that kinda money!  :rotf:

Oh, I was referring to you & if YOU won the lottery. If I won the lottery, I already KNOW where'd I'd buy. Across the river and out in the country. At least 20 acres, preferably partially wooded. I'd also build a new, modern log cabin or ranch style house. However, there's a nice parcel east of me on HWY 82 that's pretty nice. Either way, it'd HAVE to be out in the country.
