The Tennessee winners should have never gone public like this...



It sets them up for a lot of problems. Everyone will want a piece...Lawyer advised them to? WTF how did that dude pass the bar with that **** advice?

Maybe they have dreamt all their life of becoming celebrities. And/or maybe they thought going public like that will get some reality TV producer to approach them, if they want to make a reality show out of their new life, although I doubt it (that's pushing it really far)

But other than that, that's indeed a very risky and dumb move.

They will on one of those shows in a few years about how the lottery changed their life and how they pissed away $350 million.

We need men who will grow up, know up, and show up.

The first trade is always the toughest. It was very difficult for me, especially going to Winnipeg

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A $2 investment could yield more than a half-billion dollars in the Powerball lottery's fifth-largest jackpot in a 25-year history that is up for grabs on Saturday. But the odds of winning are miniscule.

The multistate lottery's grand prize grew to an estimated $535 million by Friday afternoon after none of the nearly 65 million tickets sold matched the winning number for the $432 million prize in the previous drawing on Wednesday.

The Multi-State Lottery Association, which runs Powerball for 44 states as well as Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, said the size of the jackpot increases with the number of tickets sold, and could grow further before the drawing.

 

[TorMenT]

$500M is usually the amount where I decide I should take a shot, but considering I live in IL and IL is not paying out lottery winners, my odds go even further down, as if they weren't bad enough already.

 

[Baby Punisher]

i won it.

So did I, $1.

Powerball jackpot rises to $700 million -- the second-largest in U.S. history

I hate how the US lottery system give you this big huge number but you read the fine printing if you choose to get all your money in one lump payment, then you factor in taxes it's like 1/4 of that actual amount

who cares it's still a shitload more money than most of us will see in our lifetime

 

[boredmale]

who cares it's still a ****load more money than most of us will see in our lifetime

Still it would be better if they sold it as this is the amount of money you will actually get

I like the way it's in Canada where they say if you win 50 Million, you know you are getting 50 Million
