Powerball hits $450 Million

[AllPurposeAtheist]

My descendants would be in for a very rude awakening if I ever hit this kind of money in a lottery because the vast majority of it would go into a foundation for various charities I would set up to build housing for people in need of cheap affordable housing and none of the market rate bullshit few can even afford.  We're talking sandbag construction and other building options that don't include over paying on material and labor rates. You want a free house?  Great! Grab a shovel and get busy or find someone willing to help you build the house. I'm pretty sure that I could develop a house under $10,000 that doesn't require an engineering degree to build.
My kids have jobs so they don't need the money and I'm not in the business of letting them live like the idle rich.

Once you're rich you're no longer crazy. You can afford the title of eccentric. I would almost feel compelled to leave each close relative like $1000 and tell them to buy themselves something nice, and then find some mangy fucking cat at the animal shelter and leave the rest to it.

One of the worst things Mr Wall ever did for America, was leaving his corporation to his family members.  Other than wanting to cover my daughter's medical bills, I really hope some young man will take care of her longer term.  Being a regular person isn't a tragedy.

I have decided not to drive to Idaho to buy a lottery ticket. That would be borderline plaid.

They already bumped up the estimate this morning to $1.4 billion ($868 million cash option)
