I'll probably buy a ticket just for fun. I'd probably just pay off my debt and continue working and going to school.

That would probably be enough to get my 300e back up to "reliable status" as my wife would put it.
If there is any leftover, I would spend the rest on getting my ac fixed.

isn't the lottery a tax on the poor? and, nobody is allowed to set up
a lottery except the states. so, aren't they getting their money up front and in advance? and then they nail the winner with more taxes.......a great deal for them, not so much for the rest of us.

Lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math. You want to play the lottery? Fine (I do). Just remember: the difference between the odds of you winning with one ticket versus no ticket is infinite. The difference between the odds of you winning with 1 ticket versus 1000 tickets is (almost) infinitely small. Buy one ticket per drawing. That gives the maximum benefit for $$ spent.

That should have read Million...not Billion. Cash payout would be nice...

I toss in a few bucks every now and then.
I'd probably send my 300D to the classic center, buy back my cabrio, pancakes, my SDL, first 300D and all give them the classics center treatment. Buy all of the cars I want, build my dream house with dream garage. Then do the same for my family and donate a good 10% of it to my church and then donate 1/4 of the remaining to charities and live off the rest and continue to go to school. Probably setup some sort of restoration shop and work on that.

I personally do not play the Lottery or care for it. I gamble meaning I enjoy playing Blackjack or Poker at a casino but not Mega or Powerball. I always felt it was aimed at the lower end of society for their fantasy of "get rich quick". I am not a believer in the whole "A dollar and a dream". However, for the hell of it maybe I will play it just to say I played it. What do I do just walk in a say $10.00 for the Mega or something? If I ever won something like that I would not go to sleep... I would be scared I would not wake up the next morning.
 But if I did wake up I would just give most of it away chances are.

476 mil so if you take the cash option you can figure on a third of that about 160 mil or so after taxes.
