Good Waste Of $20


Brooklyn Bully

Recommended Posts

This is what I don't understand....so it makes financial sense to spend $20 to win $363M but not so much when that $20 could win you $45M.

Like $45M wouldn't change someones life just as much

It's just $20. Plus, Powerball costs $3 total with the power play. Mega Millions is $1 total. So I get more "chances" with my $20.

Not to mention if other people win, I'd have to share it.

Well statistically speaking the expected value of a ticket is a lot higher when the jackpot is high

Its about $0.00, but still

Last powerball drawing: 1-15-35-37-47 8 PWB

My numbers: 1-15-26-37-59 10 PWB

$14

I've had some very close calls but usually only make out with 3 out of 6 numbers. Its all luck in the end but I would advise you to play one game routinely as oppose to just throwing down $20 in tickets on one big cash out.

I rarely play the lottery. Maybe twice in my whole life. But Mega Millions is up to $363 million for tongiht's drawing. May as well waste $20.

Would you take lump sum or yearly with that prize (after taxes rape you)?

There is a limit to the size that you can take the "lump sum". I want to say it's $100 Mllion. Then you loose something like 49% for taking the lump sum, (You get a lump sum of 51%) That's $51 Million. Then taxes come out of it. You are automatically in the top tax brackett (35% both State & Federal, if I remember right.) That's another $17.85 Million. That leaves you with $33.15 +/- Million out of the $100 Million. Still a nice nest egg!

But for a jack pot this big, you have to take the yearly payout.

Oh, and I bought $50 worth of tickets. (But it for the consortium here at the "Old Folks Home". :D )

Im changing my answer.

Did some reading and its going to pay out at approx $38,500 per million a year for 26 years.

so at 363 million thats 14 million a yer

or

1.18 mill a month

or

38k a day

Since I plan on living for the next 26 years Ill take it over time.

Yes, I try to play the same numbers each time rather than change them up.

Then if you refuse to let them take your picture and use you as advertisement. That's another cut you lose!

People who win lotteries get mail and calls from all over. I'm dying and need an operation, my child is dying and needs an operation! I'm your 3rd cousin on your mother's sister side. Man, can you spare a mill or two? My home is getting foreclosed upon! Even close relatives you know, start hitting you up for money, new cars, new homes, all of the above!

If I ever won, I'm giving to 3 organizations. The World Wildlife Fund, the National Humane Society and the Char/Meck Humane Society. The rest will be spent on my business. (Though I might start an HD TV Channel.) Oh, and maybe bionic legs. :D

    • Canales up first. Guys got their legs back yesterday and started a little slow when they came out Bryce challenged them in the huddle and they responded "Dominant practice for the defense today." Praised turnovers, "beautiful hits," and being physical Praised Moehrig, Ransom, Incoom, and Jones II Confirmed playing starters. Predominantly a young team and can't pass up an opportunity. Emphasized game day routines such as nutrition, body readiness, etc. Plus it's a bunch of new guys on the defense. Bryce will start. Will play them the first two, but starters might sit for the third game depending on how practice goes that week. Nic Scourton has a mild hamstring that happened in special teams. DJ Johnson had an issue with his hip flare up and is getting checked out this afternoon. Experimenting with approach to preseason games. In Seattle they played their starters in all but the last preseason game and what Pete Carroll was looking for in terms of mental readiness to play football. Thomas Incoom has been getting a lot of work with AC Carter adding to his toolbelt. Getting better as a rusher and being physical in the run game. Looking for a consistency in response. 1pt for a win, 3pts for a TD. Defense doesn't like that, but in games if they give up one go ball the score can swing. They challenged the pass game and the run game today. Guys are getting together before, between, and after team drills to challenge each other Job of the coaching staff to set the foundation for our schemes, philosophy, and expectations of what it's like to play Panthers football. Powerful when players take that and the locker room owns it. That's when it becomes our team, their team. At the end of the day, the men on the field have to rebound from a bad play, celebrate the good plays, and keep each other in tune for a whole game. Robert Hunt is amazing. Size, talent, quickness, flexibility. Really intelligent guy that there will say himself there are technique things he needs to work on. Regardless of where players are at, there's a constant learning curve and loves that Big Rob is challenging himself with the position coach. Thinks the digital down and distance can be really valuable. Getting the information quickly will help with the flow of the game. Thought TMac looked great but there were some near misses that he'll have to get in the room and communicate with Bryce on while reviewing film. James Mitchell keeps doing right and his trust factor is increasing with the QBs. If you're right and the coverage says the ball goes there, it'll come. Had some issues at the start of camp but is trending up. Newton or Person: "It looked like today was beyond thud but short of live. What do you call that?" Canales: "No, that's thud. In my mind, that's what thud should look like. The challenge for our defensive guys is can you put your body in a position where we know that would've been a tackle." Whizzing by, tagging with two hands, etc doesn't show you whether you would've made a tackle. That's not real football. Let's the play extend because guys have to be ready to chase sometime where the ball squirts out from a pit. Can't train to say "Ah, it was a tackle" and relax but instead play with intensity through the whistle. Lathan Ransom is bringing the physical style of play that they saw on film. Has been really into the details and someone that they can count on. Has really given himself a chance to start at the other safety position. Excited for the extra energy from a game-like environment that they'll get from FanFest. Used to have four preseason games and now FanFest feels like that first one. Will give ST full speed reps to evaluate. Making plays and feeding off of the fans. Window closed quickly on the INT to finish practice. CSW baited Bryce with some movement and made a great play. Saw it from Bryce's perspective with TMac coming open. Has played all over the secondary that they can count on to speak loudly and be on the same page with his teammates.
