Powerball

who saw the story about the restaurant in NJ that thought they had won Saturday night?

they went onto the website right at 11 and it hadnt updated it yet

they had the winning numbers...from Wednesday night's drawing
 
Mark Cuban's advice if you win:
  • The first thing you should do is hire a tax attorney.
  • Don't take the lump sum. You don't want to blow it all in one spot.
  • If you weren't happy yesterday, you won't be happy tomorrow. It's money. It's not happiness.
  • If you were happy yesterday, you are going to be a lot happier tomorrow. It's money. Life gets easier when you don't have to worry about the bills.
  • Tell all your friends and relatives no. They will ask. Tell them no. If you are close to them, you already know who needs help and what they need. Feel free to help SOME, but talk to your accountant before you do anything and remember this, no one needs $1 million for anything. No one needs $100,000 for anything. Anyone who asks is not your friend.
  • You don't become a smart investor when you win the lottery. Don't make investments. You can put it in the bank and live comfortably. Forever. You will sleep a lot better knowing you won't lose money.

I've already made a commitment on the pay board to make a hundred million dollar donation to Nova to build a new 8000-9000 seat basketball arena. Maybe I'll make it conditioned on the arena being named "The tjc3844 Arena" so guys like NC94 & Nardi will have to see the sign every time they go to a game :p

You will have to chip in a few million in $ to grease the Radnor Planning Commission, too.

1) I wouldn't put my name on it, as I am not an attention whore.
2) If they had me put my name, it wouldn't be some handle from a message board.

I've never played the Powerball or Mega Millions in my life. Not once. As a selective gambler who wont play casino games I understand the absolutely laughable and horrendous nature of the odds and how much of a silly donation it is and it's something I can never allow myself to be involved with even if just for $20. It amazes me, though it probably shouldnt, how much money people spend on this garbage. Just light your money on fire. The fire will be cheaper than the gas money you spend on the way to and from buying the tickets, and even more importantly you'll be spared the interaction in line with the insufferable jagaloons waiting buy tickets. The people that win this crap are chosen by a higher power. You cant even call it luck. 300 million to 1 odds. That isnt luck. That's something else.

Poorer people tend to play lotteries more because they see winning as their only means to get ahead in life.

When the Powerball winnings get really big I usually buy a $2 ticket because it's fun to think about what you'd do with the money.
