Re: What would you do with $640 million?!?!
I think I'd randomly give out small chunks of it to deserving people - and I don't mean starving people in Africa or cancer victims or whatnot, but rather, cool/smart/interesting people, or friends or family, who are in a bad financial situation. I had an idea a while back to establish some kind of fund that would give out some number of $10k checks a year to random younger smart people who needed it. The point would not be to add to the list of existing scholarships, but to help people to concentrate on doing awesome stuff rather than trying to make ends meet.
Not gonna buy into the lottery, though - $640mil is not really any more useful than $30mil, and the chance of winning is so low that it'd probably end up better if I just spent all my money on a random junk stock, waited for it to double, and repeated it 15 or so times.Best AAA: Policy In The Sky [Oni] (81)

Can you really not spare a dollar.
640mil is 21 times more useful than 30mil. Not to mention you can still continue on buying your junk stock minus a dollar rofl, win or not.Comment

I mean it's not more useful to *me*. I don't think I could even spend $30mil on myself without wasting money, even over the rest of my entire life. So after that point it's just a number, and you can give it out or something, but it doesn't really enable you to do anything special.

I rarely even buy anything
640 million would make me feel bad honestly. I would have more than enough for an over-comfy living space, but that's not the point. I'd wind up doing something like qqwrefOriginally posted by hi19hi19oh boy, it's STIFF, I'll stretch before I sit down at the computer so not I'm not as STIFF next time I step a fileComment

Every copy of Shirley Jackson’s ‘The Lottery’ has been checked out from the Springfield Public Library. Of course, the book does not contain any hints on how to win the lottery; it is rather a chilling tale of conformity gone mad.Comment

I wouldn't know how to spend the money to be honest. I would probably use only ten million to be highly satisfied in life (including opportunities, upgrades, and travel).
If I have extra money to spare, I will probably save a portion of it and probably will hand out money to those who I think deserve it.
Chances are unlikely, but I am willing to spend few dollars for a few tickets. I don't think I'll get a ticket though since chances are very slim haha.
It would be really exciting to see no winners for this jackpot. That jackpot will grow to ~$975 million if no one wins haha.Comment

Anyone giving this a shot?
