Powerball is $600 Million. If you win, do you still post on Chiefsplanet?

[BigRedChief]

Wondering is you had more money than you spend, would you still post, visit the Planet?

The guy who started Dropbox may be worth $100 million+ and he still visits once a year or so.

Would you?

Yep

[BigRedChief]

Wonder what the Planet is worth? What would it take for AustinChief to sell?

I say that I'd be here more.....but it'd actually be less. I spend my time here now because I'm at work and there are times when I don't have any work. If I had $600 million dollars....I'd be off doing shit like playing golf all the time or traveling.

[BigRedChief]

Way to set the bar low....

I'd see if I can buy out the Chiefs....Chiefs are worth a BILLION $'s. After taxes and taking a lump sum you will take home around $180 million. That wont even buy a All-Star in baseball. But will provide the opportunity to have a good time outside of sports team ownership.

Hell yes. Snortin whiskey and drinkin' cocaine. On a Harley. On my way to the airfield.

[Rain Man]

The take-home would really only be about $200 million if that makes a difference.

This person is a suit and tie bitch that thinks he is bigger than everybody elsr. His wife won't let him quit his job because of the money.! **** him. His life will be total hell !

I like that idea.

[Rain Man]

So the gross cash will be about $377 million. You take out taxes and you're probably around $203 million.

I have a deal with a friend where we split any big winnings, so my take-home would be around $101.5 million. I then have a deal with karma where I would give one-third of it away, so my breakdown would be:

$67 million for me.
$17 million for my wife to give away however she seems fit.
I give away $17 million as follows:
$7-$10 million to family and friends
$500k-$1 million to an animal-related charity
The remainder would go into a scholarship fund for my high school. The scholarship would be for first-generation college students, and I would award one scholarship per year. It would be structured something along the lines of this:
$8,000 in freshman year
$16,000 in sophomore year (assuming they make grades)
$24,000 in junior year (assuming they make grades)
$24,000 in senior year (again, grades)
$15,000 upon graduation to take a trip anywhere they want, and it would be a surprise.

Now, my $67 million is more than I need, so I don't need to live just off the interest. So I would take out about $1 million per year for living expenses, which would end up being $46,000 per month after taxes. That's more than enough to live permanently on a cruise ship and travel around.

this is probably a very stupid question, I'm planning on buying a ticket 2morrow after work for the first time( ive never bought or paid attention to lotto tickets before...) Quik Trip sells these correct?

also, what's the process in getting the ticket.. you just tell the cashier your numbers?

Here's the process.

1. Drive to the Quick Trip.
2. Look to see if they have a Powerball sign on the front.
3. Go in the store, holding it open for the pregnant woman who is entering to buy cigarettes.
4. Pretend to shop in the candy aisle while trying to figure out what country the counter guy is from.
5. Check out the soft drinks. Ponder the amount of calories in the energy drinks.
6. Look at the doughnuts. Break down and get one.
7. Go to the counter.
8. Wait behind the pregnant woman buying cigarettes, the UPS guy buying the day-old hot dog, the housewife in curlers cashing in her $2 scratch lottery winner, and the kid buying a pack of Nerds in pennies.
9. Tell the Kashmiri counter guy that you would like one powerball ticket with no powerplay. (Powerplay is for suckers.) You may buy more than one ticket, and you may pick your own numbers using one of the handy forms, but most people just ask for a ticket. The Kashmiri guy understands the implication that you are purchasing "Quick Picks", which are computer-generated random numbers.
10. Pay the Kashmiri man two dollars per ticket purchased.
11. Return to your car, dream about how your life would change if you won.

[BossChief]

I'd probably post about the same amount.

I'm accustomed to my current lifestyle and honestly wouldn't need most of the money for myself. I'd probably go through the list of family members that have helped me along the way and pay off all of their bills and make all the necessary improvements to their current homes to improve their quality of life.

From there, I'd put the necessary amount in an interest bearing account for all of my families children to have their educations paid for and houses purchased for after college.

From there, I would go back and find the dozen or so teachers that were influential in my life and do the same for them as I did for my family.

Next, I'd carefully select my closest 20 friends through my life and do the same thing as my family members.

Then, I'd make a donation to all the schools I attended to improve them and offer more after school activities and start some community projects to better the areas around the schools.

Next, I would look to purchase some key Star Wars movie props because I'm a nerd like that.

From there, I'd probably want to invest the rest into something that would change the world for the better in one way or another.

Yeah I paid my money to the idiot tax of America. $2+ investment for hundreds of millions of dollars? Yeah, you'd be pretty dumb to not at least try.

I'd put my parents into early retirement, my Dad is 63 and still works a job as a maintenance man and within the last 5 years went through Chemo, became cancer free, but took away his 401k. He needs it.

I'd give my fiancee the wedding and honeymoon of her dreams, and the life of her dreams as well. I figured if she loved me when I had no money, she's worth keeping around when I do.

I'd pay off so many people's debt. School loans, car payments, house payments, friends and family members alike. Debt is the enemy in the economy nowadays, if you can get people back to even ground, and give them a little bit of money on the side as well, it'd be a great gesture.

Obviously donate a good chunk to charities that have to do with saving lives. March of Dimes, World Wildlife Fund, Adoption Programs, Animal Shelters, I'd probably donate $20 million over my lifetime to these causes, at least.

Everyone has the dream, of what they'd do with the money. If I could make life easier for me, my family, my kids, my friends, I would feel like I accomplished my ultimate life's goal.

[boogblaster]

For the stats guys, the expected value of a $2 ticket is up to $1.68 after taxes, and $2.51 before taxes. That means it's almost free to play. If no one wins it this time, we need to group together and buy $175 million worth of tickets and we'll guarantee a profit.

Unless there are multiple winners, which is ... probable? Improbable but still possible? I don't know how to phrase that it's possible that two or more people will get a 1:175,000,000 sequence of numbers, just due to the sheer number of tickets sold..

IIRC, the first person to win a powerball jackpot over 300 million was a millionaire businessman from somewhere back east (Carolinas?).

Yeah, the likelihood of multiple winners, which is exacerbated when casual players jump aboard when the jackpot is huge, assures that the expected value will always be < $2.

200 million-ish in my pocket would be ok with me.

The high tax figures and the way so many people go through the large amount of money within a couple of years are why, when I actually spend money on the lottery (very seldom), I ask for the annuity payout. You get more total and you are guaranteed a very large income for many years (probably the rest of my life at this point).

600 million paid over 25 years = 24 million per year before taxes. It might be a little rough but I think I can survive on that for a few years before needing to find a job again. ROFL

Yes, I would post from my yacht.

I've always heard that if you won a powerball jackpot and took the lump sum, you end up with roughly 30% of the amount after all taxes are settled.

200 million-ish in my pocket would be ok with me.

Keep in mind, the advertised jackpot doesn't actually exist. The cash they have on hand to pay the winner is the lump-sum payment. If you choose the $600MM option, you are basically telling them to hold your money for you, invest it in an annuity, and pay you from it each year. They calculated that with interest, you'll eventually get that higher number.

If you want an annuity, you could buy one yourself. The tax difference doesn't matter much (except maybe in CA where they have a million dollar bracket), you are way into the top bracket either way, and if you take the annuity, maybe they raise taxes in 10 years.

If the lottery winner is either dumb, a spendthrift, or weak-willed enough to be taken advantage of, they should do the annuity. If the winner is smart, they should take the cash.

Welp shit

Okay. I'm going to need a price.

This site is going to look great in orange and blue.

According to the Twitter... there was one winning ticket. Sold in Zephyrhills, FL.

[Rain Man]

Dammit. I had such grand dreams.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Drive to obscure towns and buy lottery tickets

[Planetman]

Check those Powerball tickets, Florida residents: One of you is holding the winning ticket in the record $590.5 million jackpot.One ticket sold at a Publix Supermarket in Zephyrhills, Fla., has matched all six numbers, the Florida Lottery announced Sunday. The winning numbers were 10, 13, 14, 22, 52 and a Powerball of 11."This would be the sixth Florida Powerball winner and right now, it's the sole winner of the largest ever Powerball jackpot," Florida Lottery executive Cindy O'Connell told the Associated Press. "We're delighted right now that we have the sole winner."She said Florida has had more Powerball winners than any other state.The winner was not immediately identified publicly and O'Connell did not give any indication just hours after Saturday's drawing whether anyone had already stepped forward with that winning ticket.Estimates had earlier put Saturday's jackpot around $600 million, but Powerball's online site said Sunday that the jackpot had reached an estimated $590.5 million.The largest lottery prize ever was doled out in March 2012 to winners in Illinois, Kansas and Maryland for a $656 million Mega Millions top prize. Saturday's drawing doesn't top that jackpot, but it's the highest in Powerball history, surpassing that game's $587.5 million record set in November 2012.

Fuck, I bought my tickets at a Publix. Just 10 miles from that one.:mad:

[crossbow]

I am retired now and I check in almost daily. I don't post as many sarcastic rants as when I was working because I don't have the frustration of monkeys throwing poop at me (work) now.

If I had $100 million dollars I would help out my kids, travel more, and still do what I do.

[Predarat]

I might just throw a big ass BBQ for CP members in the Arrowhead Parking lot before a game and buy some tickets off StubHub for those who dont have one.

[LiveSteam]

So much for buying a 100 ft Yacht & stocking it with female porn stars

[gblowfish]

Somebody in Florida won? Chances are they'll be arrested for masturbating in public somewhere....

If I had won, I'd probably be masturbating in public too.

[BigRedChief]

[clyde05]

Yep, bought mine at Publix too, but the one in Palm Harbor, Florida. I work at Publix, so waiting to hear if its a employee I might know. Most likely not though.

[BigRedChief]

Another $600 million+ lottery pot tonight.

[crazycoffey]

I'd buy CP and appoint fraz, patteu, Brock and Clay mods for a month.

[Hammock Parties]

I'd probably post more.

Could quit my job and run GIF'D UP! full time.

[bevischief]

I live in one one of the few states that you don't have to tell the public who won.

[Eleazar]

I think my favorite so far was being killed by a falling coconut.

I think I read last time around that your odds were like the odds of you getting struck by lightning twice and surviving

Buying Chiefsplanet would be funny. I could buy it and shut it down, so everyone had to go post at WPI

[MOhillbilly]

I told my wife and kids that I'd take 100k and donate the the millions.

They didn't like that idea.

It might be fun to donate 99% of it. The rest would be enough for to take care of you and your immediate family.

What are you trying to tell us?

[Easy 6]

I'm BUYING Chiefsplanet.
