> The MegaMillions jackpot was just raised to $540 million, and a $380 million lump-sum cash payout. That's a big enough score that buying a ticket actually makes economic sense, even at 175.7 million to one odds. Crazy!

Otherwise play on!

Me and biker co-worker was just talking about it today. I told him if I won I will buy him a top spec 1199 for each day of the week.

I would build a private track and do trackday everyday and just go race everything with wheels on it until I die.

Was reading an article online about what you should do after you win. The first thing you need to do is hire a lawyer.

My entire department is playing…and then our smaller division is playing as well. So I got two games goin hah.

I’d set my parents for the remainder of their life. Set all my siblings. Give a bunch to church so we can finish the construction of our new building. Send some home relatives in Ukraine. Then, I’d immediately start to travel the world and see all the things I want to see without a care in the world.

PUT A WHOLE BUNCH IN THE BANK FOR INTEREST.

Live comfortably the rest of my life somewhere warm.

Pay off all of the debts of everyone close to me. Buy a small house in socal, florida, and tennessee. Invest the rest, continue farming, buy a better bike, finish my miata, set up my family and friends with some nice shit. Then just enjoy life for the rest of my life. No fucks given if people know I won. Only the people that matter would ever see any of it.
