The OFFICIAL Powerball and Megamillions thread:

[Fozz]

Would any of you guys leave your girl if you hit. I dont think i would. If i dropped her, id be scared karma would get me with a golddigger.

No, way.

 

[freeze]

I'm buying Puerto Rico if I was to hit that jackpot Imagine if somebody hit the jackpot solo and the mulitiplier

Just let me hit for a mill and I'm straight though.

can't do both unfortunately. Jackpot or the multiplier.

 

[cubanref]

I'll admit, if I did win, I'd be pretty stressed out lol.

I would welcome that half a billion dollars stress with open arms

what should you do when interest rates rises ? What about when they fall?

Why would I care? This is long term 30 year investing, the stock market has a historical 8% return per year average.

I would also get about 2.5%/year from my stock dividends.

Bond are terrible as you see clearly in the numbers, bonds aren't beating out the stock market point blank barely beating inflation. Better off holding the money in a 1% high yield savings account lol.

I would have an additional 200MM liquid I could care less if interest rate falls, market crashes etc. People with money in bonds would care more about interest rate falling than people invested in the market. That 1.5% turns into 1% if interest rates drop.

bruh - I have homework to do - I was asking a serious question that I need to answer. LMAO

I honestly thought you was using FrankM calculations of the 1% - when I read it again, I  deleted the math comment because I already knew the outcome. LMAO

simple A=P(1+r/n)^nt duh

PS not that it matter because the initial 200milli +8% getting compounded would still yield better results, but you acting like the annutity is not going to be invested.

if i read things correctly, the multiplier is only eligible for jackpots under 150 mill

Never bought a lotto ticket in my life...went and got 3 on my lunch break at work. The hype was too strong.

But if someone hits 4 outta the 5/6 numbers do they still win something or is it all or nothing?

 

[dipsetgeneral]

I'll cop 10 tickets tomorrow morning...

You win $100 for 4 numbers

 

[celticspride34]

I just relized something... These people that spend hundreds of dollars on tickets... Just how ****** it must be to look at hundreds of rows of numbers just to see that you spent hundreds of dollars on paper ...

 

[a mufasa]

And that's why I never play the lotto. Just saw 4 numbers gets you $100 and 5 numbers gets you a mil. WTF.

 

[snowlax]

Just realized that the drawing is on my birthday. Better go buy some tickets. Would be a nice birthday present indeed.

Paying a house in full allegedly brings higher property taxes. If you have a mortgage, you can benefit from the tax break? Right?

 

[iDon’tRead]

So the numbers gotta be I the right order ?

Nah numbers are automatically smallest to largest
As long as you have the 5 you good in any order

You've got to look at it just like any other form of gambling: you're paying for the emotional thrill. If you win, that's a hefty bonus.
