$950 Million

Puzzle Piece — Thu, 28 Aug 2025 18:40:30 GMT

Here in CA we have a Powerball Lotto that has a jackpot of $950 Million. Will you be buying a chance? What would you do with so much money if you win?

@Puzzle Piece Showing 950 million here in PA. I bought mine a few days ago, but bought three drawings in case it didn't go. 😉

I have several people I would share with, and some are not family.

I think Powerball is nationwide. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. I already have my tickets.

I have always thought that the lottery wins should not be so high. I think it should be spread around in maybe 5 million increments. I mean, who needs more than that? On the other hand, I guess that they wouldn't sell as many tickets if not for the hope of gazillions of dollar jackpots.

Sorry, I had the wrong amount for the jackpot.

I would help out charities I support.

There are only a handful of states that do not participate in the Powerball.

Here in PA I'm pretty sure that if you win they publish your name. I think that could be dangerous and scary.

As for me, I really wouldn't want that much. Too much of a big responsibility. I would have to hire people to manage the funds, etc and I would want to start several charitable foundations. It could be wonderful or a great big headache!

I would be very happy with 5 million (after taxes) to help my kids and a few other people.

@haddon9 Example: In PA as well as NJ: If you sign the back of the ticket LLC Pookie it will be your "public" name. Only your attorney's & the IRS will know your real name.

I would like to buy a place in cooler country where I could have a ranch or farm and I could have lots of kitties who are homeless.

My sisters MIL had a PA neighbor that won around 400 million many years ago on powerball. They moved, I'm sure trying to be anonymous, but she said it was a really great, very nice family. Only to find out one of their kids lived in my dads lady friends neighborhood, and they also moved. Also a very nice family, too.

It's nice that it can truly change some lives.

Imagine our charities we could support. Just dreaming.........
