thecfarm · September 09, 2024, 05:27:00 PM

Well!!! If I win, I know of one person that won't get $10,000 in a brown paper bag.

If I won a sum like that or higher I would be writing a book.
My book would be a publishing of all the requests I received for donations.
I would make sure to include the envelope with my name misspelled, and I would make sure and circle all misspelled words and also add comments that come to mind like sentences that do not make sense, lack of punctuation, and such.
The requests would stop coming shortly after publication.

Yep it would buy a pile of goats and even a full time goat herder to keep them out of the flower bed.

SwampDonkey · December 18, 2024, 06:34:00 AM

I'd buy heavy equipment, make a woodlot road with a gate and thin my ground and make firewood from a seat in a cab. Set up a portable sawmill and make lumber and play at building a mansion in the middle of nowhere, just for kicks.

red · December 18, 2024, 07:01:27 AM

Now up to $825 million for Fridays Drawing

GRANITEstateMP · December 18, 2024, 07:07:44 AM

I was filling my truck after dropping a load of pine campwood the other night. I had guessed how much it would take to fill it and laid out the cash. I guessed wrong and had some change coming back, so I bought a ticket. I can't remember which game, but the winning amount would take a lot of the financial stress off my life. Maybe I should actually check that ticket...

Peter Drouin · December 18, 2024, 07:14:46 AM

I would go all the dog pounds within 100 miles of me. And ask what you need?
Go to a lot of churches and ask what do they need?
I have a bunch of things like that in my head.
I would give just about all the $$ away.
I would send the Boss a bunch of $$ too.
How about the Boy Scouts?
I would make a lot of people happy. How about all the shelters, and building more?
Go around town and look for houses that need work. Hire the loco contractors to fix them.
I would ask the Father what do you want me to do?
And no one would know where the $$ came from.

The Mega Millions Lottery was won last night in California it had rose up to $1.22 Billion . . now Tuesdays Lottery will only be for $20 Million

Magicman · December 28, 2024, 04:26:40 PM

Shucks, I didn't win......but oh wait, I didn't have a ticket.

Peter Drouin · December 28, 2024, 08:26:12 PM

With that kind of money, they should pick 500+ tickets.

SawyerTed · December 28, 2024, 08:41:16 PM

Won't say I've never bought a lottery ticket but I can't say when I bought one last.

But a man can dream...

SwampDonkey · December 29, 2024, 05:25:05 AM

Not big enough, you need Zuckerberg's 4 diesel model so you can showcase global warming and tell us all we aren't suffering enough. Become part of the billionaire class, come on now.

SawyerTed · December 29, 2024, 07:06:56 AM

Zuckerberg has a "ship" that's 387 feet long! It's just too much boat at $300 million!

The vessel pictured is an 81' Paul Mann custom convertible sportfisher built in Wanchese, NC. I am acquainted with Paul and Robin and have fished with them a few of times at Portsmouth, NC.

It has 2 2,400 hp diesels , 5 staterooms, 6 baths, hand selected cherry interior and so forth.

This boat was built in 2011 and is called Georgia Girl listed at $4.5 million.

It's like picking the right tool for the job. " I just want to go fishing a lot! ALOT!

So the rest of the lottery winnings could go for fuel, bait, beer, tackle and boat maintenance.

A dock to keep it

Resonator · December 29, 2024, 11:15:29 AM

Years ago my dad was a pilot, and would joke about going on a trip to get a $100 hamburger. Because by the time you pay for the cost of owning and maintaining an airplane, that's what it amounts to. So in boat terms, would that make them $10,000 tuna fish...?

SawyerTed · December 29, 2024, 12:52:06 PM

A few years ago, I went salmon fishing in Ketchikan, Alaska. We caught our limit a couple of days.

The Cedars Lodge offered cleaning, brining, smoking and shipping for the catch.

By the time I calculated the per pound cost it was $60 per pound...

SwampDonkey · December 29, 2024, 02:15:42 PM

They want $15/lb here and it's grown and processed 140 miles from here.

Haddock I can get for $4/lb. Love baked haddock in butter, Ritz crumbs, garlic, lemon, shredded parmesan and thyme. The house stinks for 2 days, but it's good. :D

aigheadish · December 30, 2024, 07:01:54 AM

@GRANITEstateMP You mentioned checking the ticket...

There is a local gas station or Wallyworld or something, just up the road, that sold a winning lotto ticket that has never been claimed. I don't remember for how much or when it was sold but I guess if it's not claimed in a certain time it's lost... I can't imagine.

SwampDonkey · December 30, 2024, 07:04:07 AM

There's been the odd scam by the retailer who sold the ticket. Maybe someone got scared and never tried to claim it.

GRANITEstateMP · December 30, 2024, 05:15:52 PM

I got 2 that need checking. Since the billionaire ticket wasn't sold in a hillbilly town, I can wait a few days...worst case I miss a few days at being a millionaire

aigheadish · January 02, 2025, 01:14:52 PM

"HUBER HEIGHTS — The $138 million Powerball jackpot won in Huber Heights last summer has gone unclaimed.

The Ohio Lottery confirmed that the jackpot was not claimed by the Dec. 30 deadline. As previously reported, the owner of the winning ticket had 180 days following the drawing to claim their winnings."

Goodness... I rarely buy tickets but I'll be dogged, if someone hits, I don't pay attention to where the ticket was sold, to see if I need to check my numbers.
