Weekends are too short, working sucks anymore, and I just want to get on with my life.
So, here we go MegaMillions. Bring it on. The drawing for Tuesday is $600 million and I want to get at that once and for all.
If I take the cash option, after taxes, I should bring home a cool $180 million. I can live just fine off that for quite a long time, especially considering I am very good with money.
I promise I will donate some of the proceeds and give lots of very big tips at restaurants and other places.
Of course I write this on Sunday with work resuming tomorrow. And clearly I do not want to have to go.
Either way, I guess I would still have to. The drawing for the MegaMillions isn't until Tuesday.
Ugh.

@porwest I am suggesting that I saw a post of yours about the lottery and surmised you may post again about it
Now if one of us could win it.

@RebeccasFarm Honestly, I will probably make more money posting about it than actually ever winning it.

I would also would like to a huge lottery payoff to buy a new car and make house repairs like the fence that was damaged by Hurricanes Laura and Delta last year.

@porwest You are right. I would love to live in the hills like my late grandparents did in Panama.

That's a lot of "after taxes" leftovers! What kind of interest would you charge me to borrow $18K so I can pay my car off?

@FourWalls Yeah. Not sure why it would be a bad word. Sometimes I have to question how much time admin has on their hands. lol
And, I think you are right about the credit union.

So far as I know most of the lottery money, or at least half of it, goes to schools and property tax relief.

Good luck with that! Hope you win big. Don't remember the last time I played that. I just get scratch-offs once in a while. They are fun to do and some potentially have million dollar jackpots. Not that I've ever won big on them.

I'm still waiting to win the measly Lotto that pays out $1.5 million right now. I hope you win the $600 million and do a lot of good with it.

@porwest The cash option is $1.5. The actual amount is around $3 million. We would take the cash option. That would leave us with about half???

Sorry to hear that working sucks! But I'd agree if I did work... Good luck with the lottery....that would be an amazing amount - although only getting $180 million of the 600 million isn't very fair! I'd love to get that too though.

@MommyOfEli2013 Hell, I'd take half of the $180 million and still be happy as a lark. It's still a crap ton of money. lol
