1) beach house
2) boat for beach house
3) 67-69 Camaro and Mustang for beach house, maybe a 72-73 K-5 Blazer

$324.2 Million Cash Value

Or start your own dealership, buying your favorite used trucks, doing body-off restorations, and leasing them. One yearly fee for a running truck.
I bought one ticket. $2. There is no statistical advantage in buying 100 tickets over one ticket.
If you buy 3 million tickets for six million dollars, your chances are only 1-in-a-hundred.
4) start looking for land for my underground survival facility
The free land is in the middle of the ocean. Pick a spot not too deep and put in an underwater base plus a man-made island.
Wait actually I think I will start that statue memorial place for Confederate statues removed from places.
When I win maybe I will get some new t shirts,

Why wouldn't you hire a battery of attorneys and get the statues put back where they belong, and get those responsible for removing them a prison cell, or concrete flippers?
Money can't buy Happiness...but with that much you could rent a nice spot next door to happiness. [^]
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Your chances of being struck by lightening are better, and you don't even have to buy a ticket. Lotteries are a tax on the mathematically challenged.
Yep.
No winners. It's up to $650 million!
Good. Now I'll play. [:D]

That is a marketing gimmick. If I told you I'd give you $200 for chopping a load of wood, and after you chopped it, and I said, "Here's a contract to pay you $200. It is paid out in equal installments over 20 years", you'd have some choice words.
Your 20th installment, $10 in the year 2037, may not buy as much beer and bacon as it does now.
Which is not even a six pack of beer and a pound of bacon. Well, depends on the quality. [;)]

i would guess you never paid attention, it is a 650mil annuity but you have the option of taking $411.7 Million Cash Value in one lump sum and your done
and yes after taxes it would be around 260- 275mil in a single check

Maybe so, but you will not win if you don't have a ticket. I typically don't get a ticket, but this is bigger than that now. It eclipses other lotteries. It is now an event, and admission is $2.
I'm not driving to see the eclipse, but I will spend $2 for admission to the lotto event with a 650 million dollar door prize.

Do any men really pay attention to anything? Except guns, women, and beer? [:D]
The prize is obscene. $50,000 after taxes would be lovely. $225,000, and I'd retire until retirement age.

i lived 3 miles away from the Walkenbachs in Hermann mo, she taught both my sons at school, they walked with 130mill
the second 3.5mill ticket sold at the same gas station was 7 miles from me, i helped build that station in my short lived time as a cdl driver

a close friend of mine was one of the first little lotto winners at 250k
a close friend of my bil's won 1 million
Got to lazy yesterday and did not go buy a ticket. Looks like that was a good Idea.
? Yours might have been the winning ticket.

The higher it gets, the more people by tickets dropping your chances even further and proving my original point. If I don't buy a ticket I don't even lose $2.
