I thought about what I'd do with the money and I'd send my niece and nephew to college when they graduate HS because right now they don't seem to have much chance. I think I'd also donate a ton of it to animal rescue groups. I'd also make sure my mom is taken care of with full time help like a housekeeper and someone who can help her with things she struggles with these days. And finally, I'd retire. Travel. Take my mom on trips that she's been missing out on and wants to see before it is too late. I think I'll buy a few more chances this week since no one won. -- ღ.¸¸.œ«*¨`*œ¶ Cheryl |

I'd make substantial trusts for the local food bank and the not-for-profit local hospital specifically for those who fall between the cracks and cannot pay, and some sort of organization to meet the many needs of the homeless and the animal shelter. Then I'd set something up for our children and grandchildren. That would probably keep an estate planner and an attorney happy for years to come. For us, a couple of new pickup trucks, some landscaping and definitely a housekeeper because I really do not like cleaning house. Janet US |

First time I've ever won anything in the lottery (I've bought maybe 6 or 7 ticket my whole life) Now I gotta figure out how to cash it in. I think you redeem small winnings at any store that sells lottery tickets. So I'll use half of it to by a ticket for the $1.3MMM jackpot. ![]() Bob |

Well, I can't do anything for my parents, they are long gone. I already did for my grands, I already put their names along with mine on the deed to a million dollar piece of real estate with right of survivorship, I assume they will outlive me. One says she wants to be a Veterinarian, I'd be honored to pay for her education... but right now she's raising chickens, things can change. http://i66.tinypic.com/vex7xw.jpg I don't believe I'll win but I'll still buy a couple of tickets... if I do win the joke will be on me, my life wouldn't change one iota... I'd still dress exactly the same in old farmer clothes suitable for walking muddy fields, I'd still eat exactly the same cooking for myself... I might buy a new vehicle, if I can find one better than my 1990 Landcruiser that has never failed me... maybe I'd buy my old trusty Landcruiser a new heated garage for its old age. Okay, my house needs new oversize gutters and downspouts which I've been planning on for this spring... is that in the Billion $ range? For lunch today I had a salami sandwhich, even with a Billion $ I'd still have the same lunch tomorrow. Tonight's dinner is rice and black beans with left over pork chops and frozen spinach, a Billion $ wouldn't make me change my menu. Buying Lottery tickets for me is sort of a joke but I intend to buy two Quick Picks, just so if I win I can rub it in all your faces and not change my life one iota. |

> I think I'll buy a few more chances this week since no one won. Mathematically speaking, the difference between buying 1 ticket and 5 tickets is not worth the extra $8. (Of course, mathematically speaking, the ROI on even one ticket is so close to zero that no statistician would consider it worth buying even one.) But if it makes you happy, go ahead and buy more. My husband does. We don't buy tickets very often; just often enough to give our "what I'd do with the money" fantasies a little more immediacy. Cindy Hamilton |

I used to get lottery tickets for free at a local gas station with every purchase of 40 litres of gasoline. That was hard to do with my Civic, but they would run a tally for me, so it might take two or three weeks to get my ticket. I only won once, and it was only $5. People are funny about gambling, and I have had enough examples of it to keep me away from it. Years ago when the Provincial lottery game out, tickets sold for $5 and that was quite a bit 40 years ago. I was went for coffee with some co-workers and one of them bought one of those $5. He won two tickets. With those two he won two more, and it went on like that. He ended up with about 1 dozen tickets that he won on that initial $5 ticket, and he was thrilled. A few weeks late they drew the lucky numbers. He did not win any cash, but he was still happy that he won all those pieces of paper. I still chuckle about my niece whose co-workers did not let her in on their office pool, so she went out and bought a scratch ticket on her own and won $1 million. > But if it makes you happy, go ahead and buy more. My husband does. > I tend to think of them as a stupidity tax. It is a government fundraiser for people who expect to win big. Most are just paying the government for nothing. However, I have to revisit that. I know two people who have won $1 million, a neighbour won $2.1 million, and I know a guy from the Y whose father won IIRC $4 million. > We don't buy tickets very often; just often enough to give our > "what I'd do with the money" fantasies a little more immediacy. > I have to confess that I caved a couple weeks ago and bought one for a pot that was up to $60 million. I guess I was tempting the fate of how my life could be forced to change if I came into big money. |

You either win or you don't. Sorry, the chances are less than 1 in 292,000,000. "Wired" gave the analogy that it's a little better than the odds of having your name randomly drawn from a hat that contains the names of everybody in the United States. 50-50 would be a drawing with two balls, where you only have to match one of them. Powerball is considerably more complicated, with correspondingly lower odds of winning. Even roulette has better odds than Powerball. Cindy Hamilton |

When I was in the 5th grade I was at my friend Jimmy's house and we were playing cards. His father came home from work and said he would teach us to play better. He showed us the hands but he also inter weaved the odds and how the house always wins and you don't. It was a great lesson that stuck with me. I may spend $20 for the entertainment value, but I never had the urge to play to think I'd win big. I can afford to spend $2 for the fun of it. You'll never see me buying the $10 rub-offs though. |

At least one somebody is going to be damned happy they took a chance despite the odds. We're not talking hundreds of dollars a ticket, why not have a little fun with it. nancy |

(it's well above that now) In doing so I'm probably fooling myself by not calculating the actual cash jackpot amount as a lump sum after taxes. I know I'm ignoring the chance of having multiple winners, but I'm also ignoring the small prizes, and those kinda cancel each other out. Bob |

Casinos make a lot of money because there are a lot of people who a willing to go out and drop $20, $50, $100 or $500 and consider it to be entertainment, with the bonus of the possibility of winning. |

Same here, though I did spend 20.00 for two scratch off tickets for a stocking stuffer for dh at Christmas, and he won 40.00 which would probably not happen again. I don't play Power Ball as a rule, but will tomorrow, 10.00 worth, that's it. Cheri |

Nobody? Really nobody? Zero people in the entire pool of Powerball bettors? That's a sweeping generalization. I care about the math and statistics, and I occasionally buy a ticket. Your thesis is disproved, without malice. I'm still hoping I win. Retire on Thursday? Oh, heck yes! Cindy Hamilton |
