If I were to win, I would bless anyone here with a nice little gift. Honestly, I would bless anyone I know. I would just have to do it around my work schedule...

I figure I have a better chance of someone close to me hitting the jackpot and hooking a guy up.

My father used to buy a ticket every so often.. his mantra: "Some a$$hole's got to win it.. Why not it be me!"
HA!

Well guys, don't go buy a cool sports car in the hopes I will pay it off for you this week. I decided to let it roll and go over a billion, unless some self centered a$$hole takes it away from us.

maybe our government can buy a ticket and try to get our national debt down, if they win, they would probably invest the money into research of the breeding habits of flys or something like that

I don't play the lotteries very often, can't think of the last time. I do buy a ticket every once in awhile, when the jackpot gets ridiculously high. I have avoided the feeding frenzy on this one so far, I will buy a ticket on this one now! I heard that the odds of a winning ticket is about the same if you buy 1 or 100, so I'll buy just one.
Maybe I'll buy the Playboy Mansion, it's up for sale for $200 million. Should still have some money left over to buy new sheets for the beds.

Bingo!!! Durango Bill get's it
A lottery is a “Zero-sum game”. What one group of participants gains in cash, the other group of participants must lose. If we made a list of all the participants in a lottery, it might include:
1) Federal Government (Lottery winnings are taxable)
2) State Governments (Again lottery winnings are taxable)
3) State Governments (Direct share of lottery ticket sales)
4) Merchants that sell tickets (Paid by the lottery organizers)
5) Lottery companies (Hint: They are not doing all this for free)
6) Advertisers and promoters (Paid by the lottery companies)
7) Lottery ticket buyers (Buy lottery tickets and receive payouts)
The winners in the above list are:
1) Federal Government
2) State Government (Taxes)
3) State Government (Direct share)
4) Merchants that sell tickets
5) Lottery companies
6) Advertisers and promoters
And the losers are:
(Mathematically challenged and proud of it)
You may now resume your lottery madness

I just want to win so I can have more money than Tom Brady.. I hate that turd:
BOSTON —
The Powerball lottery jackpot is expected to reach $1.4 billion (yes, billion) by the next drawing on Wednesday night.
The odds of you winning are slim, to say the least—1 in 292.2 million. But, if you matched all five numbers plus the Powerball, and chose the lump sum payment in favor of a 30-year payout, you would walk home with $607.6 million after taxes.
If you started with no prior wealth at all, you would immediately unseat musician Bono as the 65th richest celebrity (and indeed, a celebrity you would be) alive today, according to The Richest.
This is not a celebrity's yearly income—the lump sum would earn you more than twice the amount any celebrity made in 2015, according to Forbes (boxer Floyd Mayweather made $300 million last year). This is their net worth, the total wealth they currently have.
Winning the Powerball jackpot would immediately make you individually wealthier than Jay-Z, Simon Cowell, and Mariah Carey. You would be richer than Dolly Parton, Elton John, and Tom Cruise. And, you would have more money than Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen—combined.
If that doesn’t convince you of the magnitude of this Wednesday-night drawing, try this: according to GDP numbers from World Bank, the $607.6 million would make you alone richer than eight entire countries.

Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.
