Yessir. Just moved back.

Cruise around and party in Airforce 1 and succesfully hold off the impeachment process for 3-3/4 years...

Jackpot has already been raised to an even $500 million. It'll probably go higher by Friday, to say the least.

$500 mil, holy crap. Lump sum of $359m, or 26 years of $19.2m (per http://www.freep.com/article/20120328/NEWS07/120328007/mega-millions-jackpot?odyssey=tab|topnews|text|FRONTPAGE). After 28% tax you're talking over a quarter of a billion dollars lump sum.

Just bought my first lottery ticket(s).

I bought 5. Maybe I'll go again to a different gas station to buy some more tomorrow or Friday.

Anyone who actually buys more than one lotto ticket is a maroon.

Your odds do increase when you buy more tickets. But the increase is so minuscule that you're almost certainly just throwing money down the toilet, on top of the bare cost of entry ($1):

Odds of winning with one ticket: 1 in 175,711,536 (0.000000569115%)
Odds of winning with two unique tickets: 1 in 87,855,768 (0.000001138229%)
Odds of winning with three unique tickets: 1 in 58,570,512 (0.000001707344%)
Odds of winning with one thousand unique tickets: 1 in 175,712 (0.000569113%)

Before anyone says anything, yes, you are almost certainly throwing away money when you spend the cost of entry as well.

1. Pay of my little debt
2. Buy a flea market, then burn it down
3. Buy JJHuddle, make the home page a pic of Justincredible and I dick sword fighting
4. Dick transplant with Lexington Steele
5. Get the cure for HIV from Magic (for future reference)
6. Pay all of my exs to go the fuck away
7. Become a cocaine cowboy
8. Create a real life Twisted Metal tournament
9. Hire Dog the Bounty Hunter as my personal bodyguard.
10. Hair transplants so I can grow a beard like Jax on SOA


Die alone and happy.

I'll agree to #3, but only if it happens before the dick transplant.

Its a tax on the ignorance.
