I usually wait a week or two to check my tickets. I told a coworker years ago that I would wait until I heard where the winning ticket was sold .if I heard my hometown then I would check numbers. He told me you better hope you hear where the winning ticket was sold before I do

I play video poker and slots online at wild card city withdrawal time. It is a good way to kill time. Especially on lengthy flights, I enjoy playing casino games while doing long car journeys. Gambling helps me feel a little more at ease and reduces some of the stress I experience because I detest travelling.

Oh man, the lotto. My grandpa has been buying those tickets for like more than 17 years. Never won anything more than 200 bucks. I do not really believe that you can win it like that. However in the case i would have been buying those tickets, surely half of the money i would give to my grandpa, i would try to make him feel like he won them. The rest of the money, well i do not know actually. I guess i would buy something, like real estate, as an investment. And i would leave some money to play some poker on https://clubvip777.com/. I am not a gambling addict, i just really like poker, and i am good at it, so i guess i could actually gain some more money.

I was just reading the other day what to do if you won the big one. The first thing suggested was hire a lawyer to set up an LLC so your name doesn't have to be given when the winnings are given out. In some states you can't do that so I guess you should move to one of the non tax states before you buy the winning ticket. I guess the next step is to hire a financial adviser to spread out the money so it makes you more, maybe enough to live on without having to dip into the principal. Probably not a problem for me as I only buy lotto tickets just before Christmas and give them out to friends and family,

First, I would hire an accountant, then hire a lawyer, then one more of each to watch the first two.
I would more than likely take the extended payout.
The last thing I want is money ruining my family. When I die, that’s it. It was my winnings, nobody else’s. The only person I would set up a trust for, and have named as a co- owner of the ticket would be my special needs son.

I tried to follow the science, but it was not there. I then followed the money, and that’s where I found the science.

Well I would take care of the kids & grandkids first, then start a dairy. Always wanted to do that when I was younger and with that kind of money I could afford to have plenty of help and to lose money. By the time I was broke I'd be dead! Wouldn't worry about no "machine" either, could afford loaders & plows to move that white stuff...Harvey

If I won a big lottery jackpot I would hire a good full time mechanic. We could start by fixing all the stuff I already own then when caught up with that stuff go and buy a few more projects. I don't mind turning wrenches but eyesight and hearing aren't as good as they used to be and I don't enjoy those jobs as much anymore.

I'd do the same thing I'm doing now. Put the money in real estate as in farm land, live comfortable and put the excess rents into more land. Only would be doing it bigger and complaining more about the government getting some more too. Daughter gave me a ticket for some reason that had a $10 winner. Went into a busy convenience store and when I took the cash the guy working said I was the first person he could remember that took the money.

I would very quietly take care of the bills for us, my folks, the in-laws, and my brother. Then I would very quietly stash the rest. Very quietly because I've got quite a bit of kin folk that don't need to know anything about it

I throw my money away on occasion too, just not so often anymore, Will spend $20 for Lotto, Power Ball and Show Me cash tickets, generally go back in week or two, trade them for different ones for $20. No aspirations nor hopes will ever hit the Big Win, not in my cards, not ever been that lucky.
IF, that magic word IF the wife and I should ever win, well we like it right here, family would be a little better off and I would have a newer tractor and newer pickup, not much else we need beyond paying down our debt load.

I had to break down and go to the doctor to get relief from my cold, went 10 days and over counter stuff was cutting it, guess with this COPD I might as well just go to the doctor and gets some good meds instead of messing around. Tom

I didn't win any of the big jackpots so I got to thinking the big powerball and megamillions added together was over 1 billion dollars just think if that was divided out at 1 million or $100,000 per person it would make for a few more happy people.

Ray, that blowing, hacking, and blowing some more that you've been doing for 10 days now. ....? If it's like what I had, then you are about half ways through it. It hung on for 3 weeks for me. Terrible  . Maybe ole Shameless machine spreads cold and flu bugs around the country side, too. ....? Darrel

I really don't have a issue with the machine and the "pretty". He can sent a few inches this way any time that his little young heart desires, just as long as it is in the temperature range of 60-70 degrees!
