No reason anyone else should purchase another powerball ticket. I have the winning ticket in my possession. I can't wait to cash this check.

I've called in sick to work before...but I've never called in RICH!!!

Can't wait.

I forget to get one, does that means no-one will win again ?

Ha Ha! I paid $100 to a guy who called me with the winning numbers for tonight from New York where they've already drawn the numbers being ahead of us by a few hours. Yeah, I'm pretty much a genius.

I'm in a state where you don't have to publicly disclose to claim - yeah!

First thing I'm calling two trust attorneys (must visit two because who can trust an attorney?), and two expert tax accountants for a meeting and laying low while I divide the lump sum after taxes into four primary diversified pools to have:
1) Foundation $100 m at 6% annual so $6 million budget a year toward helping causes of choice
2) Trust about $60 m at 5% annual; $3 million with 2.8million of it used to give 200 $14,000 gifts annually to close family and those in need and $100,000 for myself
3) Personal $10 m at 4% annual; $400,000 annually with which to live on for a cool half million per diem per year traveling for a good 4-5 months of the year
4) Rainy Day great idea fund: $30m waiting to seed some great future thought

I'd still show up here occasionally just to be one of the millionaires who do (recalling a funny thread)
