Record-breaking $1.5 BILLION Powerball lottery jackpot has 3 winners

Last night, three very lucky people, one each in California, Florida, and Tennessee, submitted the winning Powerball numbers, and will split the record-breaking jackpot of $1.5 BILLION. The odds of winning this mega jackpot were about one in 290 million, and only three people got it right. They will get about $500 million each.

Did you try to get tickets, and what would you do with that kind of money if you won the lottery?

[Psychotic]

Pay off my student loans and I dunno I guess buy a Happy Meal with the rest.

[Freya]

I didn't win, sadly.

I would go POOF. Just disappear. I'd probably have a summer in some mountains, probably the rockies, and then a winter home on some beach.

I might buy EoFF and dump lots of money into it. Idk. I'd do whatever I wanted!

[sharkythesharkdogg]

I would spend my share creating a real life Death Race 2000.

[Scotty_ffgamer]

I'd pay off my student loans and then go travelling most likely.

[Del Murder]

I won $4.

If I won the jackpot I would disappear immediately since apparently people who win these things get targeted by criminals for ransom/extortion frequently.

[SammieBabe]

Get myself and parents out of debt, finish my degree, and dunno, travel til it all runs out...

[Pike]

Pay off my student loans and I dunno I guess buy a Happy Meal with the rest.

[Sephex]

Probably buy good computer stuff for a Let's Play channel no one would watch. Also, offer to throw the Game Grumps so money so I can hang out with them until the kick me out of their office because they won't like me.

[Ayen]

Dad bought a ticket and didn't win jack.

I'd move. Far, far away. Buy better equipment, a studio, hire editors, writers, cameramen, and whatever else I'd need to improve the quality of my show, and not to have do everything myself, and live off the rest.

[starlet]

The obvious answer is to become the batman.

[Pumpkin]

Buy things, pay off things, donate the rest

[Ergroilnin]

Quit college, quit work, spend money on stupid stuff, become homeless for rest of my life.

Probs put it behind something/one that is actively working towards eliminating the global animal agriculture industry. As well as setting up n maintaining animal sanctuaries that wud be open to the public, educating promoting adoption from animal shelters n low-cost veterinary care. And buy a small, private island for myself.

With 500 million dollars (or 250 after taxes, Starlet tells me), I could pretty much live off of interests for the rest of my life. Doing that, I'd have roughly 12.5 million dollars to spend yearly.

I'm not really the person to show off my wealth, at least not extreme wealth. I'd get a pretty nice house, but it's unlikely that it would cost more than a few million dollars. Then I'd get some nice cars but those would probably not cost more than a few millions added together either.

I would get a supercomputer cluster that could rival that of many universities to keep in the basement of my house, which I would use to donate computing power to scientific research. That would be my form of charity. I'd probably also use a lot of money on kickstarter campaign, and run away with the 10000 dollar rewards pretty often.

I'd try to keep a low profile, as I don't think i'd be able to know who my real friends were if everyone knew how much money I had.

I'd give my money to my family when I died. Hopefully most of the money would still be there.
