    You don't have to live there right now, though

    I think the Playboy mansion is worth $60M mostly for the property (somebody called it tear down ready whatever that means).

    History has shown the people who win those huge jackpots live to regret it mostly.

    How much would the disinfecting of the entire property cost? I recall some of the past residents complained that it was dirty and the furnishing were cheap.

    Teardown ready is exactly how it sounds. Not livable, cost more to fix than to teardown and rebuild new. I highly doubt the playboy mansion is a teardown. But I guess it's opinion.

    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.
    bigburtchino was it you who won in Chino?

    Hobo - I'm at work, would still be if I won (the big $$$), only because - 1. I wouldn't tell anybody for at least a month. 2. I sure would not say so on internet 3. If I won, I would turn company over to a employee owned company (100%) they have done as much as I have and that would take 90 days or more.

    I am only 4 miles from 7 eleven store with the one of three big winners (CA., TN., FL.). I do frequent that store often, it is right next to my bank, three doors down from one of my watering holes and 1/2 mile from Bevmo (place I stock home bar). I buy scratch bingo lottery tickets for my GF (she's addicted to them) at that store almost weekly. My money buys them and it's her money if she wins (I think her best was $50 as far as I know).

    I did buy two Powerball tickets, the only two in the last 18 months (or longer). After I got home from work yesterday (about 5:30), I rode my bike two blocks to my nearest 7 eleven. Waited inline about 30 minutes, bought my GF a ticket with her lucky numbers (6, 8, 11, 14, 49 & red ball 23). One ticket for my lucky numbers (3, 11, 12, 27, 50 & red ball 32). I went home and around 8 I fell asleep on couch. Around midnight GF comes home (she only knew I bought 2 tickets at a 7 eleven), she knew her numbers were not winners, didn't know my numbers. She was hopping I went to winning store (i didn't), so I give her both tickets. Five minutes (or less), she throws them back at me "Your a looser". So I check them, she won $4 on her number 8 and I won $4 dollars on my number 27, I say we won $8 ($4 on each ticket). Her response "is that all", I tell her anytime you can double your money is a good thing by me! Now this morning who do you think wanted to cash in those tickets for the $8 (I just can't win at lottery).

    No Hobo it wasn't me!
