Title: Powerball Lottery Hits $1,000,000,000
Post by: NT2C on October 30, 2022, 07:56:13 AM
Powerball jackpot rises to $1 billion next week, as no one wins again (https://www.npr.org/2022/10/30/1132657740/powerball-jackpot-rises-to-1-billion-next-week-monday)

I just want to put it out there that anyone donating $1,000,000 or more to the forums can get the giant cat in my front yard named after themselves.  :awesome:

For that much, I'm naming and get my own room in the bunker that gets built with it.

This could be arranged.  If we had an official UFoZS Bunker.  :greenguy:

I thought that's what we were calling the break room at UFoZS HQ ?

Only after someone wins a billion dollars and builds the HQ.

I'm gonna be so pissed at how much they want to keep in taxes though.

They put people in jail for getting kickbacks, right?  :tickedoff:

I could still do a lot with the leftover $602.5 million after taxes with the lump sum payment option.

Only problem is I'd have relatives bugging me for money all the time. Which is why if I won, no one would know about it.

Though the shipping container of ammo being delivered to my house a few days after would probably be hard to miss. :smiley_crocodile:

I'm buying a ticket.
Wasn't there a ship or something that was for sale that was proposed as a zs headquarters at one time?
Or maybe it was an island....

Yes, and our one-eyed kitty, Ms. Velcro, was going to be the official ship's cat.

I don't recall if it was before, but I'm pretty sure that's how it was going to end up.

We did a lottery pool at work. $2 to buy in.
I asked Lance..."Hey, if one of our tickets wins the big one, is the store gonna be open tomorrow?"
Lance: "Nope."

I guess it wasn't your pool that won, then?

We've got a lottery syndicate at work and the half of us who are in it are divided on whether we'd come to work after a win, or not.

The kids won $8.  They spent $10 in tickets, so, rebate, I guess.
