Actually, I'm pretty happy when I break even...
I remember the first time the Powerball went over 100 million. People were going nuts!! I recall reading about one guy spending TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS on tickets!!
Statistically, spending $10K doesn't really increase your odds over spending 5 bucks....not that much. And yes, the $10K buyer didn't win either...
Back in February, the winner of the Powerball lottery ($336 million or there abouts) was an 81 year old lady...one ticket.
Now, what would I do? Dunno, but there'd definitely be a property with more acreage in my future....doubt if the house would be any bigger though. Cars...nope, not into 'em anymore.
