    Absolutely true.

    But I'm not really interested in retiring at 32 after winning the Powerball. I'm young enough to turn a moderate fortune into a huge fortune. And then I can give away that much more money. I'm not really into dying rich - I'd actually like to get super rich and give most of it away again, because not everyone needs to be a rich douchebag.

    As for the kids/grandkids/etc. I've got plans for that, but my heirs won't be getting hundreds of millions in windfalls when rich uncle Rob dies. No, they'll get funds to help establish them in life if they invest and spend wisely (and they'll get the guidance to help them there). I'm not subsidizing another generation of Waltons, everyone who gets money from me to help not to support them indefinitely.

    Now, that said, buying large portions of Texas and not selling any of it to fucking Californians would be delightful.

    I've met 2 families of California refugees recently, both with their heads on straight.
    They both told me I was not the first to remind them that California politics is the reason they had to move to Texas.

    That said... I think I'm likely to do the same in either Colorado or the Carolinas.

    Depending on which way you drive an hour from Fayetteville could be good.

    I bought the winning ticket on my way to work this morning. Then I got here and wounded why I came in? I just bought the winning ticket.
    We could isolate Russia totally from the world and maybe they could apply for membership after 2000 years.

    If any PFer wins anything, even a dollar, will you consider removing the walking bug from your avatar?

    Our ticket purchase will be the same numbers we always play. I don't think wife and I could stand it if we didn't purchase "our" numbers for a monster lottery and then those numbers hit.

    Plus, a lottery ticket helps keep the Texas grizzly away.

    If I win, I will buy a J frame in 22 LR.

    I will enjoy myself and take the wife along. For charity, being an educator, I will establish some full ride scholarships for poor kids who are deserving. They cannot have played sports. They will not be for the Ivies as they are the center of elite domination of the country. I will give endowment gifts to schools if they get rid of their major sports teams or if they reduce the salary of Coach SaggyBelly or BrushCut to that of the highest paid English professor.

    My bias against sports comes from two sources:

    a. The exploitation of poor kids to be entertainers and fund raising advertisement for the elites.
    b. The focus on sports in some kids that interferes with their education. Minority kids with CTE and richy rich playing volleyball or soccer.
