Is Powerball's $325 Million Jackpot Enough?

Ah...no it's not! In fact, the chances of winning that are already nil, get even worse as the pot grows. I think the lottery scam is like all other profit scams...sell it to the masses, get them to worship it and fleece 'em while they smile and thank you. If you play $5 a week for a year, DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY SOMETHING YOU NEED with the $260 you saved.

i would be bless my church, take care of my family. Then take a vacation with my wife and grandsons. I have a obligation to help people that really need help. if i don't be a blessing to other what is it all worth for , we have to start loving and helping each other. God bless who every wins

corey malcolm November 24, 2012 at 01:59 pm

Ha you are absolutely correct! I only play when it's over a certain number. I know the old saying....you can't win if you don't play! Maybe tonight I will be LUCKY...GO IRISH!!!!!

I would buy me a house a car and what ever it took me to live comfortable and put it up and donate the rest because if I didn't do my part and help others that would just be wrong

I buy an occasional PB ticket. and I am drawn to buy when the jackpot gets higher.

Andre Day November 24, 2012 at 02:03 pm

I wouldgive GOD his twn percent, pay off all of my bills. Then buy me a house. Give money to all if my children and then my wife and I will take a long vacation.

I would render unto Caesars whats Caesars..N unto Gods what's God...Lol.the Earth is the Lords and the fullness there of, enjoy my hundred fold..and eat and drink be merry...have my Abundant life...n Be a blessing for I am already fully blessed......

I play quite often. To win would be life changing, no doubt. I could make sure my family was set, open my own business, and help a few freinds with steady work there. Then I'd go see the places across the country that I couldn't see, while driving. I've been trucking for 28 years, seen a lot of beautiful America, but never got to enjoy it. What can you actually see at 65-70mph? Especially when driving? Time to collect my winnings and enjoy! Good luck!

Pay my tithes first, then give my children and grandchildren what i want them to have and have me a home built with everything on one floor.

Tyler Tork November 24, 2012 at 02:08 pm

Just noticing that even with such a large prize, the odds of winning make a ticket still worth less than the price. If you find it entertaining to have a ticket and anticipate winning, fine, but rationally, it's not worth it.

jose ramirez November 24, 2012 at 02:09 pm

I would help my family n kids then help those families that lose they homes n love ones from Hurricane Sandy....Jose...

Sahilys November 24, 2012 at 02:11 pm

Wow!!! First I will thank God. Then I will pay all my debts. Then I will donate all the money I can to charity programs and animals protection.

milt November 24, 2012 at 02:13 pm

I,ll buy a 1/2 of any country un Asia...jaja

Tabitha Hill-Jones November 24, 2012 at 02:13 pm

I would do so much with that money...I have four children and two grandsons, and a lot of people that helped me when my family was having hard times. Give back, spoil my family.

vinny clark November 24, 2012 at 02:14 pm

If I win , I would use all my money to get all 4 of my kids out of foster home.........
My oldest , wil be 9 y.o in december....... My oldest son is 7 y.o ........ My youngest son is 18 months old and my youngest daughter is only 5 months old and the state took her from the hospital.......she hasn't came home yet ..... In january 11 2012 ....... my three oldest kids were taken from me and my wife ....... The state had claimed that I had used corporal punishment on my now 7 y.o son ..... Two things happened that week for my son ....... On jan. 7 th ..... I had smacked my sons bottom due to the fact he was sayin the ' n ' word ..... I had talked to him many times that he wasn't allowed to say that word ..... Also , on tues....jan. 10 , my sons school nurse had called me and my wife yet again explaining that he was once again beaten up at school ....... The followwing day ...........dyfys came and removed all our kids ......... Two months later , I was successfully charged as a child abuser.... If anyone would like to reach out to me and my family ..... My phone # is 609 792 1886....... Also , its been my understanding that the parents can only be wrong and everyone else can only be right .........

IowaGuy November 24, 2012 at 02:19 pm

I would disappear, keeping my current lawyer and financial advisor, remotely pay off my immediate family's debt and found a trust to cover their basic living expenses. I would then invest a majority of the remainder in long term foreign investments while placing my liquid portion in a money market account.

missie hawkins November 24, 2012 at 03:53 pm

I would love to be a private benefactor to some people who work hard everyday and still struggle to even put food on their tables. I wouldn't want them to know who did it or get any recognition for it --just the feel good factor would be enough for me. Say pay off someones mortgage who is going to lose it due to foreclosure ...something like that would be HUGE!!

Bill Ware November 24, 2012 at 05:31 pm

The lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math!

Mr. B November 24, 2012 at 06:40 pm

The lottery is just like any other investment. But with higher risk.

Cowboy November 24, 2012 at 07:09 pm

Well. Thats one side of the story....

Hal Schneider November 24, 2012 at 07:38 pm

The lottery is a self-imposed tax. Wouldn't it be nice if all taxes were optional?

Disapproves November 25, 2012 at 03:03 am

So you are saying you are going to leave your family? That's pretty crappy.

North Georgia Weather November 25, 2012 at 11:31 am

Only when the pot gets real large
I would give away much of what I won. Figure you'll end up with about $106 million after taxes. Since unless I just waste the money away, there is no way I could spend all of that money. I would be more of a random giver. People that need help would be my first charity, but the gift would be anonymous. I would be generous to those that serve me, like waiters/waitresses, public servants, but also to people at random. I want to be able to make someones day, if not life, better. Random acts of kindness. It's not my money anyway...

Mr. B November 25, 2012 at 01:10 pm

You don't know his family.

ron paul November 25, 2012 at 03:20 pm

if I won, I would do the following... 1. Sell or give everything else away 2. pay my debts off 3. have WalMart removed from my hometown. 4. learn to sail 5. learn to build with Adobe and cob 6. build a kick-ass adobe home 7.learn to garden. 7. grow delicious organic foods in my garden 8. practice yoga.

If I should win, first to our churches, next to family and friends and to helping the poor, and invest and get everything that I ever wanted and sit back and enjoy life

RedneckInAL November 29, 2012 at 01:47 am

If I were to win, I would praise The Lord. Then me & my husband would buy our homeless mothers a house of their own with maids and buy my mother in law a pit bull dog (cause they are awesome).
