Powerball is my favorite way to gamble. I only buy one $2 ticket and DARN! I could have one a few million if only--IF ONLY!!! I had the red powerball and two white ones off by ONE NUMBER!!! The red powerball was 24 and I had 25 and then there was 63 and 66 and I had 64 and 65...I could have won big bucks with that combo! GAAAAHHHH!!!

Do you like to play the powerball? I prefer to play when the numbers are low because I feel like I have a better chance, but then again, when it's huge I enjoy the big frenzy of the 300 million people in the US all fighting for the big bucks and see who gets to win the big jackpot. You all remember last year when the stakes were at a billion dollars. Ooooohhh! Even at 94 million today it's more money than I could fathom.

What would you do with the big jackpot? I know what'd I do. First, I'd retire out my parents. Then, I'd put down 3 million for my grandparents house, and when they pass away the money would go to my mom and two uncles ($1 million each) and I'd live in my grandparents house (I don't need no mansion, my grandparents house feels like a mansion but more importantly feels like home), then I'd give my brother money for his retirement and enough for him to live comfortably for a while, and then the rest of it is so I can live comfortably.

Hi LL, I think I'd do something very similar. I'd make sure my little sweetie of a mother-in-law could stay at the retirement residence she's in (and which she loves) indefinitely---or as long as she wanted to...AND, since she has been one of the kindest people to me over a long period of time, I'd drop lots of fun money into her account so she can party like it's 1999, as much as she wants to.

I'd take care of my husband, because he's provided me with a nice home in a safe place. He could have as much as he liked.

I'd take care of dear friends who have been there for me through thick and thin.

Then I would travel, travel, travel (husband does not care to join me---he's proven he's a big homebody.)! I'd build a home with all kinds of wonderful space in it.

My will would entail leaving it all for neurological research, especially as regards different forms of depression; I am personally very interested in the growing field of targeted medicines. (Then I could depart from this realm, totally content---knowing I had done my bit to alleviate suffering in the future.).

I would set aside enough to take care of my daughter for life. I wish I could do that.

I would set up more IP facilities as there is seldom enough beds for people in need.

I only play when the prize is high. I think of all the people/animals that I would help.

I only play when it get's towards $6-700 million. Don't have a lot of cash to throw around on gambling. But I would definitely build a cat rescue and an art studio for myself with a kiln so I could get back into pottery.
Thanks for this!
