Now it's up to $640,000! Yikes!

We broke with tradition and bought two tickets this morning.

Also, you probably don't need to purchase all of Thor. Airstream does about $100 million in sales per year. Make a good offer to buy only Airstream. Then you could have fun running the company too.

Maggie:

You are missing three zeros (000's) I won't spend my one dollar to only win $640k since I can't dream big enough at that amount.

However at $640 million I can dream big and spend my one dollar. Since I'm destined to win I don't need to spend any more than one dollar. Now if you spend $50 dollars you will have increased your odds to equalling that of being struck by lightning.

Good luck all.

Guy on the radio this afternoon said at $640m it would take something like 176 YEARS to spend it all if you spent $10k per DAY. Sure would be fun to try, wouldn't it?

Jokes aside, if we were to win it, there would be a bunch of charities happy.

Thanks for keeping it civil, folks. Many people are agin' the idea of the Lotto. I thinks it's fun to play and dream once in while. It's been a fun thread. Now, I wonder if they'll open the bank for me tomorrow to deposit that check?

Umm, you are quite right.

I do know, however, that this is millions and not thousands!

I hope someone on the Forums wins---wouldn't that be great?!!

  • Nuova Simonelli Musica Espresso Bar Suite
  • Total frame-off on Ohana with updates to all systems
    • A stable boy or fetching young lady to keep the trailer polished and ready to dispatch within moments, if necessary
  • More travel, months-at-a-time kinda stuff: domestic in AS; int'l in expedition-prepared Land Rovers
  • A portfolio heavy on relatively modest blue-chip investments in things like DRIPs and Whole Life Insurance with guaranteed rates
  • Establish a fund to disburse $1M a year to charities who deliver >70% to their prescribed targets
Other than that, I can't think of many ways to spend that much money, but I haven't really thought about it for very long.
Ok, so I said there weren't many material items that I would buy and I meant that.
But surely I would enjoy driving to my charity work in a DB 9.

No Moto Guzzi for me. I'm thinking more like a Norton Commando for me!
You have great taste though!

And the campsite.

I've never bought a lotto ticket before. Today I bought five and an ice cream. I suspect I'll get more out of the ice cream, but what the heck, livin' large.

I told the universe I needed money today, for that Touareg TDI. Anybody listening out there?

For the amount one could afford after winning, I bet you could order a 34' footer.

And walk it down the assembly line.

Probably even set a few rivets, were you so inclined.

I spect they'd let you name every rivet, actually.

Once I buy a 25FB Serenity and a new Grand Cherokee Overland Summit to tow it, my thoughts would turn to airplanes. Something modest like a $5m Pilatus PC-12...

I'd rather go to TIMELESS TT than the factory. That's pretty easy to figure out.

We should have set up a pay pal account and had a pool. Lots of members = better chances.

So long as my lawyer (of Dewey, Cheatham & Howe) writes the agreement, then you're on.

Thumbs up I'm serious....

DW brought this piece of paper home with six numbers on it....

What the hell do i do with it...I'm a newbie and there's no owners manual.

Do the #'s have to be in order? What's the one thats hanging off the end do?

Boy have I lived a sheltered Life.

Bob

Tom,

you're ever the practical one!

I'd want the plane AND have the 2,500 feet of runway in my back yard....
