The OFFICIAL Powerball and Megamillions thread:

[a blinkin]

Bought a ticket back on Monday. Lost obviously, but I read about this power play and still winning a million or two. Can anyone school me on this whole lottery thing?

if you hit the 5 non powerball numbers you get $1million. if you play with the multiplier, you get $2million

powerball.com has all the payouts depending on how many numbers you matched.

I sound mad dumb for asking this... But where does one store all this money? I'm sure you can't have 800m just sitting in checking account.

Like where does the Floyd Mayweathers and Bill Gates of the world keep their money? Invest it all in the stock market ?

Multiple checking accounts FDIC is only gonna insure is 250,000(i think)

Off shore accounts, and of course safes, burried and mattresses.

Stay put and buy an affordable house for me and my family. As nice as it would be to live in a mansion, I don't want to pay the upkeep and whatever expenses to maintain the home.

Most I'd go is $1.5mil.

Or I'd go less and buy a fixer upper.

Ive been tempted in buying some tickets...But there's something that telling me not to waste my time...I think it's the fact I won't win lol.

I was talking about this last night with a pretty wealthy friend of mine. He literally said "don't buy so much house that you don't know what to do with it all." Housing prices around here are OD, but you can get a hell of a house for $3-$5 million. I wouldn't go above $5 million, probably. Then, buy a couple modest places around the country in places I like to visit/vacation. I just don't need more than that.

All that being said, I've never bought a lottery ticket in my life and never will, but it's a fun hypothetical to talk about with people who actually have money.

Stocks, bonds, mutual funds, banks, real estate assets, Swiss bank accounts, businesses.

Like chances are your not gonna need most of the money. So why not open a few fast food franchises and buy some properties and rent them out. Have that money make money for you

Yeah, it definitely is fun to talk about it.

I also wouldn't go all out on a car either. A nice SUV for the family and a daily for me and my wife. Don't need a car that I can only drive 3x a year.

You would end up with about $280-300 million in California after taxes

Would spend $15 milli on homes and 2 or 3 milli on cars first week

 

[a55a5in11]

Porsche 918 will be mine

That's perfectly fine for me.

I'd be set.

 

[frank mucus]

@ having no state taxes.

Can you buy a Footlocker franchise? I'd rather be my own boss than keep working in one.

why? I'll never drive ... that's what chauffeurs are for. The 38m villa .. hmmmm .. I don't think I can't justify 38m on a place that I can't see myself living for more than 2 to 3 months at a time. I rather stay over a luxurious hotel with all the amenities included.

You thinking small man ...

 

[sole blessed]

7 GT-Rs for each day of the week

 

[celticspride34]

Ill be first in line for that new Alfa Romeo Giulia..
