The wife said I would go crazy chasing women if I won.

I told her I would not. Women would be chasing me.

I told her if she won. Men would come out of the woodwork chasing her. I told her, "hell, I might even like you if you won that much."

She has no sense of humor.

To be fair, the sweet spot is at the odds of 1 in 12,000,000. Sure, it’s not enough to have frick you money and be a baller the rest of your life, but 2-5 million is definitely enough to set you up with opportunities, and the ability to retire immediately if you know how to manage your money.

I have a friend that went in with co workers on $10 in tickets each week. He got $11 million.

He’s a financial advisor.

If you win $400 million, just make $390 million publicly disappear and just retire like a normal person. Buy twitter.

I spent $4. I'll spend$2 here and there. $2 or $2000 doesn't make that much difference with the odds so high.

Figure a 10,000 acre ranch in CO will get it started.

I know I reached full depression when I realized winning the lotto would make my life worse. Honestly your normal life is over. There’s no going back. Even if no one knows you won you still can’t get extravagant. Just seems like a burden to me. It’s too easy to say I’d divorce my wife, give her half, then buy all the strange I want. Even that has to get miserable at some point

That’s the realization I’m at unfortunately as well. Sure, I still bought a ticket and wouldn’t mind winning, but I think it would ruin me, and I’m about as grounded of a person as there is

Ate Japanese tonight I bought 2 tickets with my fortune cookie lucky numbers.

If I lose I’ll sue the cookie company for false advertising

May the fast planes, boats, cars, women, intoxication substances, and tax preparers be in your favor!



None of this happens to pretty much any ultra wealthy people

Its almost a zero risk

Just move to a rich neighbordhood or buy a ranch

No one will know the wiser or care

That's part of the joy of being frick you rich...and especially if you're smart about it, you can find hobbies and other things that make you happy. Invest the money in something reasonable, live off the profits and be a charitable giving person with the extras. Some people are truly not geared to be wealthy, especially if it's instant wealth. I would have a significant dip in the beginning, because it takes money to make money, but my net cash flow would drastically increase and eventually the overall worth would come back.

I truly believe I wouldn’t change much. I may buy a camp on the river just to get away, but I’m not really in need of anything that makes me happy… I would make sure certain family members are taken care of though.

Already won... In the works with chicken for a contract to purchase an interest in TD and permaban mingo, Oweo, palmetto... And put OML on probation unless he does bikini threads everyday.
