pretty sure you're going to win too. actually thought that earlier today. are you going to tell your friends/fam?
just stick with those 8 and save the money you were going to spend on the extras for Christmas presents or something
I have 26. About to go get the same numbers again. Whoever wins tonight will be splitting the prize with at least 2 other people. When it got to 600+ there was over 100 sets of numbers that had been sold on 20 tickets or more. Think if you got all excited you won 600+ mil and find out you only really won about 10 after taxes/etc.
So wait. You're going to get the same numbers again of the tickets you've already purchased for tonight's drawing? So that if the prize has to be shared, you'll only be sharing it with yourself? Spoiler am i missing a ::thatsthejoke:: here?
$10MM over 50 years is $200K annually, assuming no interest or growth. I can deal with $200K every year before I wake up on Jan. 1 for the rest of my life. That's life changing money for most people.
$10MM I think the payments are over 39 years which means you're closer to $250K a year, which is great money. I'd have a hard time not getting it lump sum, even though I financially know it would be better for me to take the annuity.
It was a joke I heard someone else saying today at the gas station. You of all people should be able to read that
first thing i would do is put a badass lawyer on retainer for life, im bound to do some incredibly stupid shit with that much money
to add to everyone with the popular lump sum option. You're MUCH less likely to get fucked with if you take the annuity. Who cares about kidnapping someone with only 10mil. Less people would be calling, less family members would be asking for large sums of money, less likely to fuck up an investment and blow it all at once, etc. I'd take the lump sum myself just saying life may be a bit easier taking the payments. Kid who won in Columbia started a nude wrestling company with strippers and lost his ass. One guy who hit a large lump sump had a family member or two murdered and all kinds of other shit happen to him before I think he committed suicide because of people trying to get at his money.
The annuity factor has an implied ROR of 4% in today's dollars, meaning it is inflation adjusted. By taking the money now you are assuming you can beat a guaranteed 4% ROR, which while possible, isn't as safe.
first thing I'd do is figure out where I want to live, rent a helicopter, and fly around finding what land I'm going to buy. Meet with architects and build a modest home. I have never wanted a huge house but I want a three story garage that looks like an upscale barn and a ridiculous pool area. After that I'd just take care of random stuff. Can't do all that much without a good home. A boat would come closely behind all the important stuff
I'd KOP places in Colorado and Bloomington and just play with my dog and go golfing when I wasn't at Vandy/IU games
Yeah everyone always wants it all at once but it really is a better choice going annuity for anyone other than those very competent with their finances. There's a reason the majority of lotto winners go broke
Some aspect of it became banned and he had to shut down shop. He was making good money but had so much invested in it when it closed shop he took a big hit. He still is far from broke but that put a good dent in
I was talking about my "number" to retire and leave everything behind. If I get $10MM, earning no interest, I'll have 50 years at $200K annually. That's my personal retirement figure as of right now. Would take the lump sum without a doubt. But really only "need" $10MM.
Fucking A. Lump sum. I can make 6% pretty safely in my opinion. Oh and I would go buy a new car, book w trip to Mexico and of course buy a big ass new house and outfit the hell out of it.
I figure I'll wait before I clean the dishes I've used today might just be throwing them away or paying someone else to clean them for me
