this is coin related- MEGA MILLIONS...

MORGANHUNTER2 · February 25, 2006 12:57AM

I took a full roll of crappy quarters to my local store yestidy and bought 2 Mega Mil tickets- 1 $4.00 with the mega plier, and a $1.00 quick pik w/mega plier.

Mom and I have the $4.00, and the $1.00 is going to be for the boards. It's for a cash option of $212 million

Here are the numbers: 11, 36, 37, 40, 42 and mega ball= 01.

Now here is the good part:

I think this goes off at 8p or somewhere near that.

If you want to share in the wealth(should it hit), you must post HERE a minimumof 30 words, no more than 100, what you would really do with your share of the winnings- less tax of course.

Once the numbers have been puuled- the OFFICIAL time, all posting after- are DQ'd.

Only 1 post per person.

There are no other prizes- no best entry or anything like it- just this.
Those that post- will be in the group if the ticket hits- and I won't quit or runaway.

Are you a believer?
then sign in!!!!!!!

First of all I would thank you very much for the option to enter your generous giveaway and have the chance of a stake at two hundred and twelve million united states legal currency dollars.

There. That was 35 words

If I really was to win money most of it would go into savings for college which will be here faster than I know it. Of course money sitting in a bank isnt much fun so of course some would be spent on coins. I would work on my 7070 and rainbow roosie album.

HTubbs · February 25, 2006 1:06AM

Well if I were to win I'd be overjoyed! I'd give 10% to the Lord's work,use some it to help pay off the debts of some relatives,and blow the rest on coins!

I guess I'd probably put a little into savings,as well.

F117ASR · February 25, 2006 1:08AM

First of all thank you for entering me in your generous giveaway.

Honestly, I would begin build sets of apartment complexes so that I can generate a monthly earning. From that I would treat my mom to many of the things she has always wanted as well as my grandmother. After that I would start a set of Trade dollars because I have always wanted to do that set.

1921obsession · February 25, 2006 1:11AM

Torn between greed, necessity and morality, I would use my share of the winnings as follows:

One-third gets spent on something totally frivolous for myself (or the wife, since I know what side my bread is buttered on).

One-third gets put into bills.

One-third goes to the charity of your choice, Morganhunter. I will provide proof to you, and take the deduction for myself.

I strongly believe that any fortune entering one's life is unjustifiable if not paid forward.

mozeppa · February 25, 2006 1:13AM

not sure what i would do...church needs a new heat and air unit, and we do as well.

maybe a little indulgence...but i really don't think it would change me too awful much.

but it would be nice to have that option.

nice gesture!...thanks.

JrGMan2004 · February 25, 2006 1:15AM

I would most likely use it as seed money for a small inventory. I'd like to start dealing a bit more for myself, to generate more money and experience towards when it's time for me to move out on my own into the world of the coin dealer. Right now, I just don't have the disposable income to really be able to do it, but I want to do it more, and be able to branch out more... of course, I couldn't help but buy a few half-dimes to stash away in my private collection

Tootawl · February 25, 2006 1:19AM

I would have a house built specially for me. It would have doorways at least 3 or 4 inches tawler than regular doors. The door knobs would be placed higher. All counter tops would be higher also. I would then get my dad out of that assisted living care facility and have him live with me. I would then hire a full time nurse to help me take care of him.

MORGANHUNTER2 · February 25, 2006 1:24AM

My posts won't be counted in the final tally- I will make comment from time to time today.
I want to thank 1921 obsession- this line hits home for me, and it should for a few others.

MarineEAS1999 · February 25, 2006 1:24AM

You are extremely generous.

I've always dreamed of owning a home...so I guess that's where I would start. I don't have many other needs so I guess I would save some for retirement and spend the rest on the family. It would be nice if it happened.

Thanks, Ken

KentuckyJ · February 25, 2006 1:24AM

I would, obviously, pay off our house. I would buy several paintings by Jenness Cortez and I would see how long it took to put together a very nice set of Buffalo's in PCGS AU 58. I think my better half would be shopping for a new Audi S6.

Nice give away

Thanks!

KJ

edited to add: yes, random acts of kindness and quiet charity would be a definite part of the picture.

tmot99 · February 25, 2006 1:25AM

I would give a generous amount to me and my wife's immediate family so they don't have to think about money again. Then I would put 10M for each of my girls in trust for college and future, buy a new house, and for fun, get the nicest 1792 half disme I could find.

Thanks for allowing me to play.

longtimecollector · February 25, 2006 1:28AM

I'd buy a kid a dog......... Every kid needs a dog......... Oh yeah........ Then I'd buy the dog a Ferrari so I could drive it around with his head sticking out the window !

ormandh · February 25, 2006 1:29AM

I would pay off all debt, whatever left I would probably buy a larger house with a library and plenty of shelving and tables, drawers to put my collection in or on so I would not have to pack it up once I am done with every frickin night. -dan

tsacch · February 25, 2006 1:31AM

I would buy my parents a house in NJ, close to me, pay for the private care they need and make sure their last days are painless and full of stuff they enjoy.....like the grandkids, bingo, slot machines and gardening.

NumisOxide · February 25, 2006 1:36AM

I would take some of the winnings and use them for things I feel are the most important, such as college, bills, etc. Then, donate some to the ANA and a animal shelter. But I know I would use a lot for coins too.

Thanks for the chance. I really hope the #'s come in!!!

trozau · February 25, 2006 1:40AM

The $212 Million jackpot Mega Million was drawn last night with no jackpot winner. Here are the winning numbers:

2/24/2006 3 5 12 16 34 Megaball 27 Megaplier 3

Still, that was very generous of you to offer shares should you have won!

partagas · February 25, 2006 1:41AM

Cool thing to do for the boards. If I would win a share, I would first purchase 1866 MS65 Seated no motto half up in the ANR sale. Then give the exact same amount of the coin to the Red cross.

Invest the rest of course.

Thanks

ddbird · February 25, 2006 1:43AM

I would pay off all my siblings, and cousins college loans. I might keep alittle for a spanking coin, or something really nice for parents, but the rest would most likely be given away. I have no need for large quantities of money at the moment, and feel it would be more beneficial to others at this time.

Good luck with your winnings!

~Dan~

Boom · February 25, 2006 1:44AM

As I have gotten to know you, particularly via our phone conversations, it has become abundantly clear to me that you are genuinely a good person. We share many things in common, much more than coins and all that comes with it.

Your gesture to offer people a chance at the impossible speaks volumes. The odds of hitting the right numbers are astronomical. As once explained to me, imagine a stack of Pennies 66 miles high and out of that stack you had to pick the right one.

I'd keep a small portion and give the rest to Charity.

AU58WALKERS · February 25, 2006 1:47AM

Thank you very much for the chance! IF i were the lucky one, no one in my family
would have any financial problems. I would also give some to my friends.
Then i would finish my SLQ set and other sets i have started....
AND TRAVEL TRAVEL TRAVEL.

blastpak · February 25, 2006 1:50AM

Thank you for the opportunity.

That is a tough question that I 've often thought about and it always goes something like this. Depending on the amount I've always daydreamed of surprising my family and friends with a briefcase of money since they are most important to me. It would go towards loved ones and wildlife.

100proof1957 · February 25, 2006 1:54AM

Oddly enough i gave this some thought last night !

I live in an area of older homes,bordered on the south by a cemetary and on the North by a lot that was a gas station and eatery untill they were torn down.

I could buy about 18 homes plus the lot for about 7 million bucks.

3 of those homes belong to people i have known all my life.

Those 3 could rent theyre home back from me for one dollar a month in perpetuity !

The rest would provide income for my grand kids forever !

Thanks

ColonialCoinUnion · February 25, 2006 1:56AM

I would have my garage floor repaired by someone who is, unlike the last guy, competent at repairing garage floors.

As it is, we get a lot of condensation in the summer and the floor is always damp.

Union

Bochiman · February 25, 2006 2:03AM

Pretty cool and I hope that you win. A lot of very deserving people are winning and I see no reason why it couldn't be one of our "forum family" members who wins.
I know that family and then hobby would be taken care of with a jackpot like that.

TheKidCollector1991 · February 25, 2006 2:23AM

If I had won I would've put 65 % of the money towards my education and the rest will go up towards medieval gold or Colonial US coins. With the rest I shall have a pretty good and expensive giveaway( in Coins).

Thats it!

lloydmincy · February 25, 2006 2:36AM

chance in ****. Good luck.

TOMCATTOM · February 25, 2006 2:46AM

I would buy PGCS, then reinstate all banned members and remove all restrictions, except for profanity. You could say anything you wanted about anything relating to coins. I would make Russ and Madmarty vice presidents in charge of the boards at $100,000 per year salary. Might as well, as they spend most of their days here anyhow.

TheOneAndOnly · February 25, 2006 3:07AM

I would hire a bunch of homeless people to go over to my ex-wife's house and pee on her flower garden. I would take the money I have left and go to McDonalds, and hopefully I would have enough to buy an happy meal.

Thank you for giving me this dream and HOPEFULLY it will become real!

BlindedByEgo · February 25, 2006 3:14AM

I would use my winnings to assist in Dr. Kevorkians' release, so that I could have him help "certain" people in my life in their assisted suicides

Or, I'd donate a bunch to the church

Which do you think?

08HALA20 · February 26, 2006 6:54AM

Winning a lot of money would take a little bit of the joy from collecting.

I mean I wouldn't have to sell coins to buy new coins, I could just keep buying them.

Then I wouldn't be a collector but a hoarder.

Or is that the same thing????

Nice gesture hope the number wins.

Then we could all be hoarders.

Rookie Joe

MadMarty · February 26, 2006 6:57AM

Buy up all the CAM and DCAM Accent Hair Kennedys before Russ gets his grubby little hands on them!

MORGANHUNTER2 · February 28, 2006 10:57AM

new numbers for tonite are:
8,9,25, 43, 56, and mega ball- 12.

256 million, gee might be nice to be free of everything.

robertpr · February 28, 2006 11:06AM

If I only have to write thirty words to become rich, consider me too lazy to become wealthy.
