I bought a ticket. When I hit I'm going to get you to claim prize. Give me back what I would have won in USA and we'll split the tax savings 50/50. Deal?

Yeah, it was exactly what they were looking for. Most people just say the same things all the time, buy a car, house, pay off bills, quit working.
I wish someone would say something like crush my enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women. That's what's best in life according to Conan.

You are the Man! I'm in! Best of Luck to Ya!
PS as long as the Taxman agrees.

It will be more than $1.2-1.3 billion this Wednesday.
I didn't buy any the last 5-6 years, but may be a couple tickets this time for fun, if I remember to stop by some place to buy it.

Hmm if you won I'd start and evil organization, in an ex Soviet Sub base!
I would call it Amalgam and try to take over countries that people only moderately care about, rig elections, and beat baby seals.
Or I would just buy Belgium.

I'd have to remember. I mean, I'm at a gas station 2-3 times a week, but almost never go inside.
Had to look it up. $1.3B, cash payout is $806M. Too bad the next drawing isn't on a Sat night--it'd be fun to go in on it with some friends, each toss in $10 or so, get 25 tickets or so. Then have a party that night, wait for the numbers. Then go back to having a good time with friends when we don't win.

$806M...that's almost enough to keep a used BMW 7 series on the road!

There you go making wild claims again
Is the powertrain warranty still in effect?

The other problem is that you can't just walk up to a terminal and ask for 292.2 million tickets with all the combos. You'd have to put out slips and bring it to a lottery machine and run them. There just isn't enough time and slips to do all that.

This Billion dollars will be won by one of the following:
1) Illegal immigrant,
2) Legal immigrant/refugee, ISIS sympathizer
3) Crackhead/felon
4) Welfare mom with 9 kids (by 7 different men).
You know I'm right, LOL!
