If 13 20 25 30 53 with the mega number 39 shows up then I'm you'll know what I'm up to.

[MrFun]

Wouldn't you get bored? I think I would.

volunteer in your community, become more involved
TRAVEL to your heart's content
more quality time with family and friends
start a new pastime or hobby you've always wanted to get into, but claimed you never had the time for

[MrFun]

So, how would everyone spend $500 million dollars?

pay off ALL of my student loans debt (YAY)

put 75 percent remaining amount into savings, and 10 percent into moderate-risk investments

buy top quality, BEST fuel efficient car that is out there

rent a high-end condo in a locale I've always thought of living in (not sure I'd want to be home owner)

FINALLY go on a world class cruise and then go on more after my first one

help my older brother pay off his debts

pay back my mom money I owe her

donate some to a charity that means something to me

Collecting your half of the winnings, I'll collect the other half.

I'd buy Apolyton and hire Pee-wee Herman and Crispin Glover to moderate.

ACK!

[KrazyHorse]

Day late and a dollar short, tubes.

[Tuberski]

OK, you hire Pee-wee Herman and Crispin Glover!

ACK!

BTW, with 500 million dollars you would probably do a lot more good following Aeson's footsteps than just giving it to charity.

And putting 75% of your wealth (if your wealth is more than 10k$) into savings is just a terrible idea.

Supposedly birthdays are the most popular way to pick numbers so by only picking numbers above 30 you don't improve your odds but if you do win it's a lot less likely someone else will split the pot with you. Either way I got a quick pick because I'm too lazy to fill out the card.

I would make Cowboys and aliens 2 and have it loosely based on the Foundation. Starring Kristen Bell, Daniel-day Lewis and Timothy olyphant whit Paul Thomas Anderson as director/writer+whoever he wants to help him whit that. I would forbid them to use CGI and there have to be atleast one spaceship battle and a revolver fight. And someone better wear a bowler hat aswell.

If there is a hollywood bigwig reading this you can pm me.

[Wezil]

I'm going to buy 100 tickets with those numbers.

I had the exact same thought.

If I were in the US I would certainly buy at least one ticket with those numbers.

Wishing you had actually picked them?

[The Mad Monk]

Lottery now at $640 Million.

[The Mad Monk]

Highest net lump sum now stands at $349 Million, and god help you if you bought the ticket in New jersey or NYC.
