Would winning the Powerball change your collecting direction?

I'd still focus on the same areas as now...
However felt it would be fun to see if anyone else is dreaming to make a big move?

What is the definition of "winning"?
Hitting the jackpot as the only winner and having $250,000,000.00 cash on hand after taxes.
What is the definition of "winning"? I won $12 at the last drawing although it cost me $15. Now I'm out another $15 for tonight's drawing. How much do I need to win tonight in order to define your definition of "winning"? Thanks for your input. Steve
How do you spend $15 when each line costs $2???
I really wouldn't want that much money anyway, and I am serious about that.
My wife doesn't believe me when I say that, but it would be more of a headache to me than it would be worth.
That being said, I wouldn't mind having a really nice PR CAM $20 Lib.
But that wouldn't cost $800 million anyway!

I play 5 lines for $10 + Power play at $1 per line. Steve

BTW - I already have the winning ticket, they just need to pick the right numbers
The odds are so against an individual in these drawings, I don't even buy a ticket.

I wouldn't want to win "crazy" money like tonight's drawing either. Too much is too much. I think I would be very happy to win two or three million. It wouldn't affect my coin collecting anyway. Steve

you could hire a team of donation experts and accomplish things (aka help others) beyond even my imagination.
small business loans, foreclosures, speculate on world markets etc. man, it would be insane.
not sure what i would do. whatever it would be, it would be a lot of it. lol
anyone wanna crunch the annual interest earned on 500mil?
the number i heard, after taxes on lottery 1.2 bil, was 580mil i think, around 50% for a single cash payment.
i do want to say i think there should be multiple drawings for the big one. rather see dozens of people win a few mil, i'd probably play then.
.
Then I'd buy a round version - yawn from boredom - and offer up the round one for a forum give-away !
Next I might just give away my life in Michigan and become a true citizen of the world.

Wish I knew who to attribute this to: "The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math."
it would not change my "direction", but I'd finally be able to complete my US type set by finally
getting the 1793 copper, pre-1800 and 1813-1833 gold, and the rest of the small eagle silver

take the instant payout, lose 40%, get taxed on the remainder, lose another percentage, by the time it's over the lottery has made 40%, you lose the instant payout and taxes
Of course, no one would do this, LOL

Yep, I'd buy your token collection by making you an offer you couldn't refuse!

I don't think you could support yourself on interest from $500 mil in a MMF if it's anything like I'm getting on the cash in my Fidelity IRA.

Go to a convenience store between 6 and 8 a.m. and watch what people spend on junk and then decide if $2 for a lottery ticket is really that dumb.
I would also give every family member an immediate up front payout and a yearly bonus with the stipulation that they never again ask me how much I paid for any coin.
Makes more sense to make them a co-winner of x amount of dollars so you don't have to worry about gifting, taxes, etc.

It would be fun to do the ultimate type set...... nothing but key dates, in the best grades you can find.
At odds of about 300 million to one to win and a payout of $900 million before taxes---buying a lottery ticket actually isn't a bad choice
Yep. It's not impossible to win; someone always ends up winning it. Mite as well be me.

Nothing wrong with it as long as you don't spend stupidly on it.

Some day I'll tell the story of the Colorado Lottery in 1990.
After having quit my job I would do a little traveling around by car and look up little brick and mortar coin shops in out of the way places, just for the fun of it.
You could buy em up and take em home.

What would be the point of collecting if you can have anything you want
Pride of ownership. Besides, there's always competition for rare items.
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations. I sometimes feel that I am right. I do not know that I am. When two expeditions of scientists, financed by the Royal Academy, went forth to test my theory of relativity, I was convinced that their conclusions would tally with my hypothesis. I was not surprised when the eclipse of May 29, 1919, confirmed my intuitions. I would have been surprised if I had been wrong. I am enough of the artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world.” Albert Einstein- quoted in Saturday Evening Post interview (1929)
“Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters.” For Einstein, honesty was fundamental. Attention to truth in small things reflected a person’s integrity on a larger scale.
