Powerball at 1.4 billion USD - All about Powerball Mania!

So, the Jackpot is at 1.4 billion USD. And yes, you can play from Thailand legally, not via black market lotteries but with one legit website. 

 

However, you will win a measly 400 million USD due to state taxes, still, worth a flutter!

 

How would you spend 400 million USD?

A mere 240 million left.

As Jordan Peterson points out, we need something TO DO.

We need to be engaged in something.

That's why you don't see Donald Trump retiring, even with billions. 

 

So 300 million is a bad idea. You wouldn't know what to do with it and it might drive you mad and ruin your life.

My wife and her family like to play the thailand lottery. It fills me with disgust but they love it, what can i do

I would buy a lottery company.....after the McClaren .....

Change my phone number, move far enough away.  To avoid everyone looking for me to be their personal ATM.  If staying in Thailand hire security so I'm not kidnapped and held for ransom.  Look to invest and grow it to invest in people as anonymously as possible.  

 

Rather my legacy be how I was able to help and change where I could.

 

Definitely have some fun also but I'm a simple man.

How do you play legally from Thailand?

  • Popular Post

Up to $1.7B now, will probably hit $2B, means, take all cash now, and you'd be an instant Billionaire.

 I stopped playing a while ago.  As cost about $400 a year to play.   If I played the past year, I would have won $19

What to do with $1B ...

... keep a few $M for myself, and give a few $M away to family & friends.

... the rest, to reputable charities, and definitely a couple I use to support, when I did give to charities.  Philly Children's Hosp & St Jude/McDonald House 👍

Exactly.

 

They buy tickets in the US. They're not a blackmarket illegal duplicate lottery. And they're allowed to do what they do in the US, which is important.

You go to thelotter.com

 

They buy tickets in the US as your agent. They're not an illegal black market duplicate lottery, they're allowed to do what they do in the US.

What I don't get, Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, why would they not do a grand give away campaign? Surely they would have popularity spikes like never before. Why don't they do that?

I use to use them, even though advised 'unsafe site'  till I read scam alerts stating they didn't pay, though hard to know if true or not.   The do charge a bit of a premium for their service.  To add, no issues paying.  Play at your own risk.

 

Since having family in USA, I stopped using shortly after.

Thelotter.com has paid out more than US$130 million in prizes to over 9 million winning tickets. 

 

They are legal and legit in several states in the US, including

 

Arizona Colorado Minnesota New Jersey New York Ohio Oregon.

 

They also had a VERY high profile winner, an Iraqi guy in Iraq, that ticket was litigated. He was paid out, so they are definitely legit.

Indeed, the jackpot is now up to 1.7 billion USD which effectively means you'd get 479 million USD, less any tax payable in your home jurisdiction.

No, think about it, even after you buy a private jet (60 million USD), a yacht (40 million USD), ten properties worth 5 million each (50 million) and a helicopter (10 million), you would still have 317 million USD left.

 

Okay, so let's say you spend 100,000 USD a month on living expenses, that would STILL only do a 36 million dent. Okay, so you give away 14 million to familiy and friends and mia nois, and you would STILL have 267 million USD left.

 

There's is no way any man on earth can fornicate that much, even yours truly. 

 

In fact you could set up a porn production company in Prague to rival the best, pay 5000 USD to the most depraved top porno talent for a shoot EVERY SINGLE day FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE, and you'd still only have spent  60 million, leaving 207 million USD.

 

And I'm pretty sure by draw date this jackpot will be up to 2 billion. Meaning there's another 300 million at least, less taxes, so another 189 million.

Fools and money are soon parted.

 

There is a great lecture series available on the MIT website, concerning probability and statistics.

 

But, you gotta not be a fool if you might wish to try and understand it.

Fortunately, I am not a fool.

Unfortunately, on TV, at least, I am considered to be an Old Fool.

 

The lectures are here: https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/18-650-statistics-for-applications-fall-2016/video_galleries/lecture-videos/

 

First lecture is here: 

 

 

Note:  Very good course. Also, the instructor is good because, for one thing, he is MALE.  Also, he has a nice voice and demeanor. You won't damage your hearing by listening to a female instructor screeching, as is often true for some other MIT courses I know.

 

 There are many problem sets on the website, which can be found in the notes of the YT videos.

 

This is the best that I can do for helping others to stop wasting money playing various idiotic lotteries.
