OT...fess up, who's buying Powerball today?

[Soonersincefitty]

The odds are horrible, so I don't play, but I was wondering if some of yas have purchased for the half billion dollar prize for tonight.

(odds are extremely better that you win at a casino)

 

[22LR]

Not me. I purchased one lottery ticket in my entire life. It was in the 70's in Michigan. I won $5 on a $2 scratch off. I decided then to quit while I was ahead.

 

[Sooners83]

I will be buying one...and then will send you all pictures of the island I just bought.

Yep, probably be Bora Bora, you dyk.

Where the water looks like Aqua Velva and the sand looks like sugar.
We will hate you...unless you fly us out for a week and pay for some scuba diving and the fun girls.

[Schoonerman]

Oh man, wait until you retire my friend.
No alarm clocks allowed.

It's just bliss...

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Got mine. Fingers crossed.

Good luck Schoonerman...goes for you too.

If you win, I'll expect the VIP tour of Atlanta.

You got it!

 

[BillyRay]

The wife is picking some up. If we win, I'm gonna retire early and spend even MORE time on Scoop. So in a way, ya'll win too...lol

I once met a guy that won the lottery in KS. His take was 600,000 dollars. He was broke within 2 years and not only that he had quit his job and then lost his home.

Big money does strange things to people......

 

[Senior Sooner]

If any of you win, please don't forget your Sweet Sooner Sister...Your Nieces and Nephews will be SO excited, too! You've always been their Favorite Uncle!

Yep, it takes a disciplined person to handle it. The worst part is hangers on and family dogging you on a daily.

There are some success stories if you look.

There was a young cat, 32 years old that won a state lottery that the nut was enough to generate 80k a year in interest, which he lived on comfortably with a little change left over.
All he really bought was a modest house and a new car. Very frugal fellow.
Clearly the exception to the rule though.

You, are just so adorable...

 

[K2C Sooner]

Suck up!!!! HA!

 

[Soonersincefitty]

Suck up!!!! HA!

Oh my, my cover is blown to smithereens!

 

[LongTimeSooner]

If you want better odds, give me $5 and guess the number between 0 - 100 I'm thinking.

Good gosh, the only case I've ever heard of that overdosing on heroin would have been more sexy.
Geez, that's insane.

 

[Senior Sooner]

Better throw up some Security around his grave...Gold Diggers, Ya Know...

My intentions for what to do if I won....just to have some fun:

Remain anonymous if possible.
Some charities donations.
My wife's retirement.
Friends and family help.
Home on Mount Desert Island, Maine, during the summer, overlooking the ocean.
Condo in Houston, Gettysburg, Cooperstown, San Antonio.
Visiting all 50 states.
Visiting Germany, Italy, England and Ireland.
Visiting Iwo Jima.
Visiting Normandy again, this time spending three full days.

Buying lotto tickets and just fantasizing what I would do is fun.

+1 on visiting Gettysburg. I once attended an Apple(eating kind, not IPad) meeting in Baltimore. I booked a one way trip so I could drive back and visit many of the Civil War battle sites. Long story short, I wasn't able to do it due to business concerns.

To this day, I think about that missed opportunity...........

 

[harolds]

Although my chances are slim to none, I will donate $20.00
to the lottery commission.

 

[hOUston...]

Well it seems I'm in a continuous bad week. OU lost last Friday, OU lost last Monday, my portfolio is shrinking and I lost the Powerball sweepstakes yesterday. What are the odds of this happening to anyone else but me?

Well, would this be the worst time to say you've got your health?

 

[Soonersincefitty]

You need to dig deep in that couch and find you some change and buy a ticket fitty. Never know, you could be the next Donald Trump....HA!

Wait, he probably makes that amount in interest every day..............

Oh yeah, guys like Trump are 'confused' rich.
That is, they're so flush they have no idea what to indulge in on a daily basis.

I think I could make it a science.
