TOO MUCH ???? US 1/2 billion lottery

[greenstiles]

Is there such a thing as giving away too much money in a lottery ?

That's a lot of circulating money that is now going to be in the hands on 1 or 2 people. How much do you have to have to be rich. two links....second one is people queing......most people just want to buy a house ! just one ?!

Think i'd rather see 640 people get a million.......that freak 1 out with such a large sum.

Oh I don't know... If it was me I don't think I'd be complaining too much

But yes, I see what you mean. Suddenly having THAT much money could very well cause problems. Hope it doesn't go to a Retrobiker or there'll be bugger all left on the site! :shock:

If I ever won the lottery I would give it all away. To the person that bought me a ticket.

I find it hilarious when people tell me they, "don't normally buy a ticket, but this week it is a rollover."

People are soooo greedy, and the companies know the higher the jackpot the more people will get drawn in to the whole thing.

My brother's neighbours in Pennsylvania are lottery winners from the 90s, they were already well off and it seems to have brought them nothing but good.

$500,000,000 though?

I would choke on that kind of wedge, and might fear for my family in terms of kidnap, etc.

Yes, wayyy too much.

I would rather see that money go to good causes.

I would buy a nice house, make sure my family were all set up and then buy all of Stefan9113's bikes from him!! :twisted:

I'd place a small but well stocked bike repair service right next to every Halfords in the Country.
2 t/s mechanics in each

And spend my considerable free time firing copies of BF3 from a clay pigeon machine at EA/Dice employees as they left work :twisted:

Too much if someone else won it, just about right if I won it.

Id love that sort of money and I would hardly give any to charity until I die then I would sort them out. Even then I would be picky over which charities got my cash, Some of them eat up more cash running it than actually ends up being used for what they say they do. Harsh maybe but Im only halfway ish through my life so may aswell be comfortable :twisted:

According to the internet, the Queen is not worth that money.

So I would buy the Queen!

I don't know what I would do with her, but she has some nice houses, and I could ensure Camilla is cut out of the will.
