Mega Millions jackpot is $540 million tonight

[MatticusMania]

I would buy a church and burn it down. Then Id buy a bar and burn it down too.
Id have those shady firefighters mentioned elsewhere on hand to put it out at the right moment and take all the glory. They'd also be uninsured so that I wouldnt collect anything from incidents. Then Id go burn a bunch of other things down, with a band of shady renegade firefighters following me closely behind. It would look to everyone else, via the media, that theyre following some crazy arsonist. Then, when everyone is at their wits end, Id hold a press conference and say "Fooled you", light the table on fire, and scamper off in my awaiting Harrier jet.

I would give most of it away for that is to much for one person to have

 

[Khronic]

I would burn it.

 

[MatticusMania]

I would burn it.

Are you an agent of chaos as well?

 

[bluesblaster]

I'd buy politicans and make them do good deeds, and if they get out of line they might have an unfortunate accident........
these things happen all the time, who knows why

I wonder what sanctions I could get if I offered to write a $540million check to China courtesy of .gov?

And this is exactly why I'd give the 540 to you.

Buy 2 lotto tickets today. Win or lose, I'll pay you back for one.

Id also make an offer to buy TalkBass outright, destroy the lobby, and once again allow religion and politics to be discussed in OT (only OT, though).
Id merge all the Brand threads into one thread called "I have Gear, listen to me champion it" Except for JimmyM who would captain and president of the Ampeg Club.
We'd wage war on each other using insults and shoddy anecdotes on why Ampeg sucks (or is better) and post lots of pictures of nude girls. You know, just because.
Maki could have domain over the Asian Chick Forum, and your supporting memberships would be granted by sending me an annual 12pack of microbrew. Anyone who sends swill will promptly be banned.

 

[dmonroe]

I'll let you know right after the drawing tonight!

 

[MatticusMania]

Apparently, my friend Mony is operating under the guise that she has already won, and would like to know when they'll announce it to the rest of y'all.

I've never played the lottery til tonight. I suppose I've spent more in Vegas to win less, so maybe playing once every now and then won't kill me. I've spent $10 dollars on worse things.

 

[jrthebassguy]

Buy a minority stake in an NFL franchise or EPL club.

 

[James Hart]

I don't regularly play... actually rarely play. When the jackpot gets extreme, I generally drop $5-$10 on tickets.

 

[Derek Balonek]

When I left at 430 we were past $7,000. It was so absurdly busy that one of the registers froze and we had to close for a bit to reboot. Oh, people were not happy.

 

[ADbassman]

There was a radio DJ here that put it this way: "It's worth the $5 for the ticket just to play with your imagination what you would do with that money if you won."

 

[MakiSupaStar]

I spent ten bucks.

 

[Dave Siff]

I put $5 into a pool at work (five people) and my wife bought two tickets. So, we've got 27 chances to win, although 25 of them would be 1/5 of the pot. Still, that'd be like $54 million after taxes.
When I think about how many basses I've sold at a big loss, $7 on lotto tickets doesn't bother me.

 

[James Hart]

at least I won my $10 back

 

[fuzzy beard]

Did i win?

 

[BioDriver]

Didn't get a single number. C'est la vie
