PowerBall Dreams -- Anybody from Delaware here?

$214M Powerball ticket sold in Delaware


Associated Press

A ticket sold for the Powerball game Saturday night in Delaware matched all six numbers drawn to win the estimated $214.7 million jackpot. The winning numbers were 1, 3, 10, 47, 48 and Powerball 27. Power Play: 3

The prize goes to an estimated $10 million for Wednesday.

Tickets that match the first five numbers, but miss the Powerball, win $100,000 each, and there were 17 of those. They were sold in: Colorado, Connecticut (3), District of Columbia, Indiana (2), Kentucky, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, Pennsylvania (3), South Carolina, Tennessee and Wisconsin.

OK, we hven't played this game for a while so what would YOU do with the winning ticket?

Lump Sum or 30 Year Annuity?

What's the FIRST thing you'd buy?

A divorce.

Wouldn't you still have to split the winnings with your Ex?

I think I'd give the ticket to my Elder Daughter and let her claim the prize -- 'cause if I claimed it, the first thing I'd buy is a pair of trust funds for my granddaughters' education. My Daughter would do the same thing but could do it with bigger trusts and a smaller tax hit.

I would gladly split the winnings with him if he'd just leave.

I bought a ticket in Missouri, but of course I didn't win. If I had, I had it all planned out to move to Hawaii and tell my family I joined a cult. I could just see myself frolicking on the beach with my new boy toy/personal assistant. Sigh, there's always next week.

First thing I'd buy would be myself free of debt. Fucking Labour government and their tuition fees. Then I'd get a high interest account and live off the interest.

Nice to dream.

An interesting post WH. However, think how much more interesting if you had just made exactly the same post on Oct 9 2004. I mean, I hate to be a compainer, but your timing was a bit off. (I could have used the $214 million!)

If I could have made that post on Oct 08 or Oct 09 2004, I wouldn't have been online -- I would have been over the border in CA or AZ buying a Powerball Ticket.
