Yes, but if you don't play, they're 0. You never know...
As for what I'd do with the money... I'd take care of several things first - rebuild the beach house so I could live out there all year long (and retire there).
Pay off the college debt for all my kids, nieces and nephews.
Take my entire extended family on vacation - like a big long cruise.
I'd take my bucket list out of the drawer and start making reservations.
I'd donate money to the local animal shelter, where I volunteer, for a new building. The one they have is just plain not adequate for their needs, and it's old.
I'd visit a couple of litsters ...
and yeah, work? That's history. I'll spend my time traveling and volunteering.

Mrs Dirt and I have talked about this at length for the fun of it. She is not sure what she will do with all the money. I plan to fall over dead from a heart attack so any plans I made would be moot.
Even after a person helps all their family/friends/fav charities, you would still have plenty to enjoy the rest of your life. With a good financial person, your descendants would never have to work either.

I definitely would get that stabilizer bar fixed on my rogue.. they mentioned that the last time I had it in for an oil change.
and I could probably use it as leverage to finally get a day off from work.. those buttheads haven't approved a vacation in quite some time now.
and I'd hire a personal trainer. I love my friends, but they suck as exercise partners.
Seriously though.. a fourth to each of my sons in a trust and a fourth to make my life a little bit easier.
and I'd keep my job. it would be fun to listen to the gossip about why I didn't quit.

Honestly the amount of changes would be great in some ways and not in others.
It would be great to have a budget & to do even more support work.
Help more people in the cracks in the system...
Personally it would be so nice to not count every freaking penny.
Having real groceries, AC in the summer, real heat when it's cold, no mold or dirt from no repairs.
A more normal life

This is why the people in my office who threw in money decided to buy from a random bodega

Quit my job and tell everyone to kiss my ass.
And then throw a party for all my Lit friends. Probably gonna be a small party.....
I just plan on showing up at your house. I figure I will either be told to get into the line for the party or the line to kiss your ass. Either works for me.

You can't win if you have a negative attitude. Ok, you can't win if you play 1,000 tickets either, but that's not the point.

You know, if you were already a billionaire this would be a good investment opportunity. If the odds are 1:200M or whatever, drop $200M on tickets with every number combination. If you win $800M, you have a 400% return on your investment.
You're welcome, Mr. Billionaire who has a shitty accountant that didn't give you this advice.

I recall a long time ago a millionaire/billionaire tried to declare himself the winner of the lottery because he said he had enough money to get every number combination. They told him to get in line and buy all the tickets first.

Trouble is, the machines won't let you play "every combination" so that means you have to fill out 200+ million cards. And don't screw up and miss one combination, in case it comes out.

My dad played the same numbers every week when the Oregon lottery started. We went on a camping trip and he forgot to buy his ticket before we left and every one of his numbers came up.
I rely on quick pick, that way I don't have to be disappointed if my numbers come up.
Wonder if I can change my dad's luck? He's been gone for over twenty years. And since I got a $6 tip tonight at work, three tickets for me in the next drawing.

So nobody won last night. Now it's up over a billion dollars. Somebody will win it eventually...
