The powerball lottery is up to 1.3 BILLION dollars

[Yoshisaur]

It's likely to be closer to 2 billion by the time they draw the lottery.

Right now you are looking at 525 million in cash or 800 million if you took it over thirty years (both those are after taxes).


What would you do with it? Take it cash? Take it over 30 years? What would you buy? Can you play? Are you even old enough/in the US?

With the smaller jackpots 200m I always figured I'd take it as cash so I could invest it but with this much money I'd probably take it over 30 years. It'd be harder to waste it on something dumb like a fleet of private planes lol. I'd give away a lot of my money, travel, and get lots of degrees at a nice university/college.

Aha I can't play because I'm only 12

But if I had that money, I'd probably give some to charity, buy a nicer house, buy a nicer car, and travel. The remainder, I'd just save up.

 

[Paperboy012305]

Yup, and our family didn't win.

 

[skout]

I bought a bunch of tickets for the Saturday drawing. I'll probably buy at least one more.

I'd definitely take it over time as I don't trust myself/others if I had all of that money at once.
I'd buy a new car, pay for school, help out my family/others and maybe travel. I don't see myself spending a lot of money on ridiculous crap just because I had the money to do it. I don't think I'd ever want to quit my jobs either.

if you guys buy ticket, I recommend paying an extra dollar for the bonus
I heard it can multiply your winnings by 2x-5x

doesnt work on the jackpot tho, only the smaller (still large tho) prizes

The second prize of 1 mil can only be multiplied 2x. Still worth it for the extra dollar though. Someone I know won 50,000 a couple weeks ago on the powerball and he had the multiplier so he got 100k!

lmao my mom won 4 dollars from getting the lucky # 13

and oh man with billions who knows what I'd do lol
I'd buy a bunch of stuff like anime merch and plushies lol

of course also putting in money for my and my brother's college funds and donating some to good causes and money for other stuff my parents need or something

we were talking about it last night and my dad says to take it overtime and it should be fine as long as you don't die lol

Yeah I'd get all the amiibo and collect the different 3DS skins! Some of them are so cute but I don't need like 20 different colors of a 3DS

 

[piichinu]

I'd take it over 30 years since I'm not interested in a new house or any big purchases

I just want to pay for college and med school and maybe buy a lot of cute clothes/stuff

Even over time you could buy some crazy stuff you'd be getting almost 27 mil a year xD

 

[cIementine]

I can't enter since I don't even live in the us but if I won it, I would move to the US, buy a new house, new car, pay for school, go travelling, buy stuff I've always wanted to buy (crap ton of games and a MacBook air or pro), and i'd buy an annual pass to Disney world lmao

 

[00jachna]

Oh man I'd buy so much stuff.

A villa near the ocean in some warm country.

I'd buy my mom, my two sisters and my dad new cars, along with my gandmother

I'd also hire an assasin for my Grandmothers new boyriend.

Outside of that? idk. A new 3ds?

 

[Paperboy012305]

If my family won the lottery, my mom would consume it all up quickly. By paying all her bills, buying a new car, send some to charity, maybe give some money to me and my other family members. Because you can't be stingy with money, greed is one of the seven deadly sins.

 

[jiny]

I'd buy myself a laptop, and some cute expensive clothes because I don't know what else I would want.

 

[Ashtot]

if i had that money i would hire people to develop an actual good mmo instead of all the garbage being produced

 

[Shimmer]

Oh my gods!
I wouldn't even need that much money. Even just ten mil is good enough!

But I would love this!! I'd cry and quit all my jobs and fill my house with anime merchandise. XD

 

[Acruoxil]

pay to study abroad, travel around, buy the stuff i want

 

[p e p p e r]

omfg is powerball up that high??? i'd take the cash and use it to travel, buy homes in all my favorite places and collect beautiful artwork. i'd also like to open up the most amazing bakery in the world

 

[Crash]

me and my boyfriend agreed if it got up to a billion we'd play but we haven't bought the ticket yet. I've never even played the lottery before, but if I won I'd probably bawl my fcking eyes out, my financial problems are so bad i can barely afford to eat lmao

& id spread it out over 30 years, it's still a ton of money, probably more than I could even spend per year and it'd make me feel more secure that way​

 

[Knopekin]

I would make Pokemon Snap 2 happen.

I would hire assassins to take out people at Nintendo until they let me make Pokemon Snap 2 happen.
