This is something at work we've discussed pretty much every time the amount has gotten huge. Some states require the person to come forward while others let the winner be anonymous. My luck I would end up in a state that requires me to come forward. I would hate to have to go public with it. Just let me be a winner in secret.

I just looked at it, and I'm hosed.

There are only six states where you can remain anonymous:
North Dakota (because nobody lives there anyway)
Delaware (same)
Kansas (even worse)
Maryland
Ohio
South Carolina


All other states require public identification.



I guess the first thing would be to disconnect my phone and change my name. And given that my ex-wife is a gold digging fool, I'd likely leave the country for awhile.

+/- 300 mil, eh?

1 - Pay off homes for two nephews
2 - Same for three friends who stuck when things were tough for yers truly
3 - Purchase the home i was raised in - in a very small Alabama town - and turn it into the [parents' name] Library. Fund a foundation to keep it going.
4 - Move to Brooklyn - nothing fancy for a residence - and devour live music and art museums for a while. Play a lot of tennis, too.
5 - Barcelona, Stockholm, Paris, parts of Australia, and Hong Kong are priorities on the travel list when not #4-ing.
6 - A party at Saturn in Bham for approx 100 and their guests. Live music by Cracker.
7 - 10% divided between hometown church [same as #3] and a charity . . St Jude a strong candidate.
8- Hire brother as accountant.

I have always heard you can't buy love. I guess I will have to learn the hard way.

1.6 billion now.
Anyone knows anyone who needs a temporary job, the two convenience stores just across the Florida/Bama line on I-10 need cashiers and traffic monitors. [emoji41]

I hope when someone does finally win it, there is just one single winner. I also hope it is me.

Can you buy tickets in advance of drawings? Like if I go Monday can I buy a couple for Tuesday’s drawing and a couple for Friday’s drawing? If so how would you do that?

Just tell them how many drawings you want, or if you fill out the slip there’s an option to choose how many drawings on it.

I thought about it - but I think I’ll postpone my full retirement (I’m semi now) since my winnings will only pay for the gas to go collect them. [emoji6]

Do y’all normally do the quick pick option?

Sometimes - I normally pick my numbers for five draws, but if I’m in Pcola or have to go get tickets for father in law and the jackpot is high, I’ll get a QP or two...or five.[emoji6]

No one won the powerball last night either so it has climbed to 640 million. I think I just need to win both so people can stop buying tickets for awhile.
