No winners according to Twitter. Saturday jackpot is 675mil https://twitter.com/texaslottery/status/684977745919520768
Good effing Christ at $675 million. The best part? That's $418.5 million as a lump sum. Or $22.5 million every year for the next 30 goddamn years.
At that amount, they'll be able to buy like Australia and plant TMB flag right in the middle. I also have dibs on SJU for my side bitch if I win.
Here's where to find out what the lump sum would be for you, by state: https://www.usamega.com/powerball-jackpot.asp
Not exactly. The annual payouts start lower and increase to an average of $22.5M by the end. E.g., Indiana's would start around $10M and ends around $40M
that's incorrect. The cash out option is 413M something. That's before 25% federal tax. cash after taxes is 309M.
I would take the lump sum for sure but I would take either tbh. Invest half that money into something and watch your money return exponentially
Bought one this morning. Currently starting a spreadsheet to manage my winnings. To not do so would be irresponsible.
Every time I buy a lottery ticket I go through all of my friends/family and decide who will get how much
For Iowa the lump sum would be around 289,000,000. I think I could live with that. Invest $100 mil and then start on my shopping spree. I always said I would just give everyone of my family members that showed up at X-mas $5,000 so no one could bitch and after that pay off my in-laws to never bother me again.
Damn it, i'm an idiot and don't know how to embed tweets. But this guy's response is great. https://twitter.com/eupatterson/status/684926131347165184
I set up a crowd fund for this. If I get $584.4 million I'll buy the 292.2 million combinations to guarantee winning.
Won $20 off Tennessee cash last night cause I was too late to buy powerball tickets. Hope I didn't use up all my good luck.
Always pool with 3 college friends... we collectively won $2 last night on 20 lines Oh well, here's to Saturday
You could invest 200 mil and still buy about whatever the fuck you want. I wouldn't go overboard with anything but would for the most part do what I want. I'd tithe my 10% probably more but do it by giving to those who need not to some megachurch (other than the one who we funnel cash to our players through). Would sponsor a ton of sports teams for youth who can't afford to play and can't afford quality training. Would give them all kinds of incentives to do well in school and be good kids. Most winners only bought one ticket. The houses I'd buy for my dad/sister I'd keep in my name but never give anyone straight cash (other than my dad but he'd be with me most of the time) to keep them from constantly coming and asking for it as they know it'd be a huge no.

Fuck it, gonna buy 5 more. If I win, I'll take care of family, quit my job, and fuck some hot women with great tits while smoking some excellent weed. Game plan bitches.
10 of us won $16 on Wednesday so we added to that pool. The whole office is involved in another pool now. HR and the partners threw in. We still won't win :3
