Can you imagine winning a half a billion dollars, I would probably die from a heart attack and never get to enjoy it but I still bought my tickets!!

Wouldn't know what to do with all of it if I did win. Better chance of being struck by lightning....twice....while being mauled by a polar bear.

I play occasionally. This is one of those occasions.
I just might be able to retire early with 350K+.

That's why I would win and go into hinding for several years. Travel the world to not speak to anyone.
1st thing in order is "IF" I win- Vegas trip baby!!!!!!! Set a budget and fly my closet friends out to Vegas for a week.

Doesn't really matter at this point. In general, the lottery is a tax on the stupid. But at this point your expected value, even with 1:175m odds, is more than 1. Meaning in an economic sense it's a good investment. Of course, that's partly dependent on how many tickets overall are sold because at a certain point the expected value will drop below 1 because of the probability that you would split the pot. But at anywhere below 350-360 million tickets sold you are actually, in a strict sense, making a positive investment by buying a lottery ticket when the lump sum payout is greater than the odds. I don't know how many tickets are being bought, but my assumption is it will be less than 350 million.

Think about this: With the cash option value at over 330,000,000, you could spend over 3 million for 100 YEARS and still not run out.
Wow.

This right here is why I've never bought a lottery ticket in my life. I'll likely never win it, so I don't waste my money on it.

Thanks for sucking the fun right out of it!! They call it gambling for a reason, when you walkout your door and drive down the road you gamble with your life, what's wrong with throwing a few dollars to the wind and see what happens, nothing that's what!
