I don't usually play, but when it gets this high it usually HAS to payout.
The machines know what numbers are in play on all the tickets, and normally avoids picking a winning combination, however when there's a LOT of numbers in play, it can't avoid them, so it has to payout.
You have as much chance of getting hit by a meteor as you do winning this thing, even if you buy $100-200 worth of tickets.
.. I bought some anyway.
a number approaching 0 is still better than 0 in the game of odds.
If I win.. hrmm.. well I'd pay off all my debts, my parents debts, my friends debts, set up a college fund for my friends new baby, build a new house for myself on a lot of land (with a nice shop of course
) keep my current home and transfer ownership to an LLC to rent out, buy every house for sale in my neighborhood and transfer them to the LLC, look at other homes in the region for residential rent, then venture out into vacation rentals in Tennessee, florida, and SC as part of that same company.
I'd probably invest a large portion of it as well into commercial warehousing rental property, and of course diversify into non real-estate assets like percious metals, stocks bonds etc.
I would try to shore up the LLC to become profitable and live off of that, plus any benefits that return from my other investments, and save the rest for retirement.
