Trust me, no one is going to rat you out. Plus, TBL has less than a snowball's chance in Hades of winning - I'm pretty sure PowerBall is only in the states. Even if I'm wrong and those Canucks are horning in on our action, he still has pretty much the same odds.

Open to us up here too, we just need to pay taxes in the state that the ticket was purchased in. If I won (which I didn't :() I'd end up with around 600mill USD which is over 1 bill CAD currently lol.

Nice looking shop / pool 710!

Sweet looking knife Todd!

Might head down to San Diego this summer to hang out with the gf's dad. Maybe we'll have to stop by your place too. :)

Me too. But with Progressive.




Didn't play the lotto.... Never really do... Now once in a while, if I'm in a gas station and someone in front of me buys 3 or more of the same scratcher ticket I'll buy 1 of that same ticket my turn in line...

Then, I'm not playing against the lottery, I'm directly betting my luck is better than the last customers :D

It's paid off a few times. Hasn't a few times too.
 
I guess none of the jackpot winners were in CO, but some smaller winners were. The guy running to pool hasn't checked the numbers yet (there were over 400) but I only need $4800 to get debt-free. I would be pretty excited for that.
 
I only need about 160 grand to pay off everything. Home, truck, land, shop, credit cards ECT. I'd have enough left to get a new roof on the house and fence in the entire property.

250,000.... No more worries... Ever. This is enough to play. Not enough for the wife to quit working for good, but enough we don't have to ever worry about needing extra hours to pay a bill, and we'll take time off to play when we're ready.


1.5 billion? My heart would of exploded. I couldn't live through that. I never made 50 grand in a year... That's wealthy to me... I'd have an aneurism or something anywhere near a billion dollars.

I rent an apartment and I drive beater trucks that are paid for. the $4800 is what's left from a credit card. I had a $16000 balance two years ago and wasn't making much headway (though I wasn't paying much more than my minimum either) so I went to the local credit union and got a loan to pay off the card and moved everything to them for a much lower interest rate and a higher minimum that forces me to pay it off within 5 years of the start date rather than 45 years (no joke). Plus I've been rounding up to the nearest $100 and then adding another $100 to the minimum payment and that has made a big difference.

I actually like having old beater vehicles, there's a freedom that comes with having a car that's already crappy and it doesn't matter what happens to it. I don't think I'll ever own a nice vehicle because then I have to be careful with it, spend time washing and waxing it, try not to spill anything or tack anything inside. I have a different idea of what enjoying a car is supposed to be. Granted, I have to spend a little more time under the hood, but not much really. It's not for everyone, but it's for me.
 
Has been for me most of my life until I got the Jeep last summer. Not really a beater, but almost that same feeling except I got a friggin payment. My favorite beater was probably the Subaru...I really got a kick out of squeezing in on a double parked jerky in a beamer or something. I was really sad when that motor went...its still in the yard tho lol.

Cold A/C, power windows, all wheel drive, great on gas, and drive like a little go cart. You really should look into one. It was a 99 Imprezza Outback Sport 4door wagon...more like a hatch back tho.
 
just saw this yesterday, scedualed to release sometime in 2017. I really like it

We'll see...that's been around for decades. I have a remote control one that's at least 10yrs old...
Even though that appears to be the JK version...I'd bet that its 100% photo chopped...
 
I may not be able to work anymore if I won 400k. The wife would still have to work. If I won that lotto, I would not ever have a fixed address anymore lol.

I used to have a Subaru Impreza WRX. Loved that car, had to sell it for our minivan :(

I like the look of that Jeep truck :thumbup:
 
Did you hear about the guy that won the lottery?
His wife came home and he said
"Pack your bags baby! I just won the lottery!"

She said "Woohoo! Where are we going? Hawaii? Aruba? Paris? How should I pack?"

He says...
"I don't care what you pack, just GTFO!"

I've owned shitboxes my whole life and, not being mechanical (what? That loud thing under the front lid makes the car go forward?!) I haven't been able to keep the bloody things going, but then, I didn't want to spend money on them either. My Hilux however, I couldn't kill that unit. Then last year I decided "nup, I've had a gutful of driving around in wheeled embarrassments" so I went out and bought myself a Subaru Forester. A 300hp Subaru Forester. Paid cash for it (saved like a maniac for ages) and I love the bitch. Doubles as a great place to have a lunch break snooze. And it can actually beat other cars at the lights. My last car (Honda Butthole a.k.a. Civic) couldn't even successfully race a stationary wheelbarrow..
