...hoping I'll be able to buy out PGI, et al, and make them add in all my, and no one else's, suggestions. ;)

Rough guess-timate is that taking the lump sum and investing it in 1% return instruments of deposit will result in a conservative figure of $50K to spend each and everyday until I finally leave this segment of the multi-verse.

Good Luck, everyone! ;)

You know what they say, "the lottery is a tax for people who don't know math." :V

I totally understand the hype about MM this week. 600 million is real money; that weekly 30-50 million isn't worth the buck.

If you win, care to share with MW:O fans? Oh, and 30 million bucks is TOTALLY nothing, just never waste that 10 bucks and what not for a possible return of a free living for the rest of your life...

Interesting lotto stats : You are 50x more likely to be struck by lightning, 8000x more likely to be murdered, and 20000x more likely to be killing in a car wreck then hitting the jackpot numbers!

My wife and I still threw 30$ into buying some tickets, ya never know...

I bought several tickets for 20$. I know I wouldn't win but I did it for the kicks and giggles... And there was always that slim to none off chance that if I did I would have been set for life. If I did win... I would invest a few % of it clearly and possibly use another some of the winning to fund a BT/MW TV series or short movie series like they did with Band of Brothers that would be so full of win and prove once and for all that the BT/MW universe is the greatest thing EVER!!

If anyone here wins the next one (which they are projecting at 900+ mil if there is no winner from last night), I propose they give half to PGI to fund this game until eternity!!!

Three winners are splitting the $640M, And one of them is not me. ;)

And "splitting $640M" should not make any of them whine. So help me, if I hear one of them even kinda mention it.... ;)

Anyway, congrats to all three people or groups.

If I ever win the lottery, I'm going to spend all of it on lottery tickets.

I play, because in Texas, no state income tax. May as well give to the public school system and have a chance at winning a raffle for something worth more than a box of year old girl scout cookies.

Texas uses lotto proceeds to help fund public schools
