$222 MILLION!!!!!!View Messages“She ignored me...then laughed...then ignored me again. Being 41 isn't all it's cracked up to be.” 2:22:41 PM 2/20/04 “I just invested $5 in the office pool. Hellloooo easy street!” 2:28:17 PM 2/20/04 “Yesterday I won exactly zero at the casino. I put my $20 in, and then after my credits went up down up down I cashed out at $20. So, though, considering that I didn't lose the $20, I can almost say I won $20. Right?” 2:30:49 PM 2/20/04 “If anyone's interested, the jackpot has crept up to $230 million. :)” 7:23:11 PM 2/20/04 “Hey, that's 8 million MORE that Shep's gonna win!” 7:29:20 PM 2/20/04 “It'd be both nice and a nightmare. If I won I'd immediately have to put me and especially HPM on a budget. Of course, the cash option does take it down quite a bit. I also noticed they moved the drawing from Atlanta, where they usually do it, to Times Square this evening.” 7:42:03 PM 2/20/04 IF you do happen to win... “TAKE THE CASH OPTION!!!!! Take all the cash now, the long term payout isn't any good once you discount to present value. The cash payout is the only way to go.” 8:02:10 PM 2/20/04 budget? “yeah, you'd really have to watch out not to spend more than a million or so every couple of months. The funny thing is that most folks who've won those giant jackpots really do wind up broke again after just a couple of years. I read that contractor in WV that won a couple of years ago is pretty much out of his cash. It's sad, cause with a jackpot like that and just a little discipline and planning you and your kids and their kids could feasibly never have to "work" ever again.” 8:04:30 PM 2/20/04 Don't take it “the cash option that is. A jackpot of this size would hand you an amount of money that you'd be hard pressed to control. Take your 6 mil for 26 years. Unless you have a lot of confidence in your financial management skills you're more likely to finish off better if you grow into this kind of wealth.” 8:14:15 PM 2/20/04 “Take the cash and hire a well respected financial advisor - or more like three or four of them. Hire another advisor or two to watch over them for you. THe chunk of cash properly managed will way outgrow the annuity option. in other words, you get to keep the interest instead of the lottery fund.” 9:03:01 PM 2/20/04 “yall naked yet?” 11:54:29 PM 2/20/04 “are you?” 12:08:45 AM 2/21/04 “I have a set of numbers for the lottery things. They are 1,2,3... up to however many numbers there are in the particular drawing. I don't have to buy a ticket because I always remember my numbers. When I watch the evening news I can't help checking my numbers. I have never won a dang thing.” 2:11:10 AM 2/21/04 “I too used to throw money away in the state lottery's. I also agree that it is good to dream & I hope you never give up on your dreams. However, in my later years practicality set in & I have set up a defferred comp account. Can't decide now if I'll retire before age 62 (some years away) & let this account offset my lack of SS funds or use it to buy a lake side home. Had I put my state lottery ticket (purchase) money into a deferred comp account as a young adult, I would have that million plus now. I would already be retired.” 5:53:44 AM 2/21/04 “Too bad losers, someone else won.” 6:53:55 AM 2/21/04 “hey, I saved a dollar!” 8:32:32 AM 2/21/04 “"Too bad losers, someone else won." Miss Anne Thrope 06:53:55 AM 02/21/04 yeah but SOMEONE won...with your attitude it obviously wasnt you though huh???” 8:42:06 AM 2/21/04 “I didn't win! One of you creeps owes me a buck for talking me into buying my first lottery ticket. I'm so mad I'm gonna climb that tree and kick that naked dude out of it.” 10:32:17 AM 2/21/04 “LOL you're only allowed to climb it if you're naked!” 10:51:46 AM 2/21/04 “That would bring a whole new meaning to "tree hugger."” 10:56:03 AM 2/21/04 “tree molester” 10:59:31 AM 2/21/04 “""phaed, go to the little boys room" ScorchFire "They don't let me in there since I started scaring the little boys." Phaedrus 07:17:20 PM 02/19/04 tree molester or not i would never go to those lengths to get my jollies off” 12:08:41 PM 2/21/04 “phaed is really michael jackson!!” 12:09:46 PM 2/21/04 Alright, missy.
