Who wants to be a billionaire? No winning tickets were drawn for the massive Powerball jackpot worth $825 million on Saturday night. Saturday’s winning numbers were 19, 31, 40, 46, 57, and Powerball 23. The pot for Monday’s drawing increased to an estimated historic mark of $1 billion and a cash value of $497.3 million. It would be one of the largest Powerball jackpots in the history of the game, second only to the $1.586 billion drawing in 2016, which is also a record for the largest jackpot in the lottery.

The lottery is getting nuts. Only Joe Biden could spend money like that.

If you win this you need an exit plan, someplace where nobody knows you and a new phone numbers.

Curious whether posters here would wish to win this amount of money or not, and if they won what they would do with it. Personally I wouldn't wish to win this sizeable amount of money for a number of reasons - what say you?

I would LOVE to win this money! First of all, it is not really a billion. After all the taxes, it might be a little less than $400 million. Nothing to sneeze at, for sure. We would definitely need financial advice, but everyone in our immediate, and somewhat close family would benefit. Trusts for the kids & grandkids. Surely, we'd contribute greatly to our favorite charities, we'd pay off and fix up the house, and certainly buy or build something in a warmer climate for winter. Then, we might purchase some investment real estate. Apartment buildings might be a good investment right now. That barely scratches the surface of what that kind of money could do, but I really doubt anyone would turn it down!

Well, heck. I'll probably go buy a few tickets. As Lazarus Long said, "Sure the game is rigged, but you can't win if you don't play."

I would love to win it because it means security in these insecure times we live in. I would likely keep it under my hat for a while, even with my family members until I could get a financial plan and some legalities in place. Even then, I wouldn't be completely honest about the amount I had actually won. Let it be a surprise to those to whom I leave it in will. As for the immediate future, I would take the director of my local food bank to Costco and give them Carte Blanche to fill the shelves. I would do this twice a year, mid summer and around the holidays, and I would arrange for it to continue after my death. Anyone who has had to wonder where their next meal was coming from as I have in the past knows to pass it forward when you are able. For myself, I would pay my bills, secure my housing, and maybe travel a bit until I was more used to having such an amount in my bank accounts. Suddenly spending obscene amounts on foolishness makes you a target for thieves and conmen.

The responders here show intelligence and common sense. Unlike that idiot in West Virginia, Jack Whittaker, who won $314 million in 2002, dropped much of it in strip bars and generally crowed about it everywhere he went and got rolled several times. Then there was the guy in northwestern Pennsylvania who made a verbal remark to his landlady about splitting winnings, lost half of it in a lawsuit and got into a shotgun dispute with his brother. I think they force winners to disclose their name and the amount won so careful planning and an exit route is wise.

1. There are a number of states that will not release your name(s) if you request. West Virginia and Maryland are two of them. 2. It is B.S. to advertise that "you would become a billionaire." Powerball is run by of states, government. The feds take more that 40% and most states also tax income. 3. If you take the cash option, after taxes, you will take home less than $300 million. The exact depending upon state and local taxes. But, it still is not a bad piece of change. However, not the amount as adverised.

Police in North Carolina are investigating a shooting that took place last month at the home of Republican congressional candidate Pat Harrigan’s parents. Harrigan’s children were sleeping in the home — only a few feet from where a single bullet pierced a window, Harrigan’s campaign manager told the Carolina Journal on Thursday. A police report obtained by The Post confirmed that a firearm was used in the Oct. 18 incident and that the bullet ripped through a window in the home’s laundry room. No injuries were reported.

Social media is in a twitter after President Joe Biden went off on a tangent about the power of electric vehicles, declaring excitedly “You can plug your car into the house and make it light up.” In a video viewed nearly half a million times since uploaded Wednesday, Biden addressed the Infrastructure Talent Pipeline Challenge–a nationwide call to action to make tangible commitments to broadband, construction, and electrification–and who knows what he was supposed to be talking about when he instead mused wonderingly about the power of EVs. “By the way, in your home, you know, the batteries that we have now

I remember as a child my mother would tell me, “You are the company you keep,” stressing the importance of associating with people who are on par with your values. For nearly a decade, I associated with the Democratic Party because I felt its values aligned with mine. Being a Democrat was part of my political identity; I even felt comfortable with the mantra “Vote blue no matter who.” But the Democratic Party I once supported is unrecognizable, and my political association with it is no longer. On Sunday, for the first time in my life, I voted Republican and did it without hesitation.

California Gov.

Asked whether the election feels like a “red wave,” Newsom replied: “Yeah. Of course it does. And again, I’m not paid to say that, I’m paid to say, you know, [indistinguishable] — I get it.

President Joe Biden complained that oil companies were not drilling enough for oil, despite his long history of trying to block oil and gas production in the United States. “We haven’t slowed them down at all, they should be drilling more than they’re doing now,” Biden said. “If they were drilling more we’d have more relief at the pump.” The president spoke about high gas prices during a trip to New Mexico to campaign for Democrat candidates. Biden, however, has acted several times during his first two years in office to lower the production of oil and gasoline in the United States. Biden has leased fewer acres for oil and gas

The Democrat party’s candidate in the Ohio Senate race promised to provide taxpayer-funded sex-change surgeries and hormones to illegal migrants who say they are transgender. Tim Ryan, who portrays himself as a moderate, made the wildly unpopular pledge in 2019 to one of the party’s most radical constituency groups, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Ryan made the pledge while he was running for president in 2019. The ACLU’s 2019 presidential candidate questionnaire asked: As President will you use your executive authority to ensure that transgender and non-binary people who rely on the state for medical care — including those in prison and immigration detention —

President Biden claimed Thursday that first lady Jill Biden once bitterly snapped at him over his ranking as the “poorest man in Congress” — calling it a “true story” even though it’s unclear if he ever actually earned the superlative. Biden, who moved into a 10,000-square-foot former DuPont family mansion in 1974 — one year after joining the Senate — told the tale during a New Mexico event focused on his plans to forgive up to $20,000 in student debt per borrower. The president said that his late son Beau “ended up with [student] debt because I had the dubious distinction of being listed as the poorest man in Congress.”

Over half of the participants, 51%, do not or only somewhat believe Lake is “too extreme.” The poll surveyed 1,003 randomly selected Arizona voters between Oct. 26-30 with a +/- 3% margin of error.

On its radio broadcast Thursday morning, NPR played audio of a woman undergoing an abortion, complete with disturbing sounds of machinery vacuuming out the unborn child and the mother crying and moaning. The Michigan woman, whose identity was not revealed, received the procedure at eleven-weeks gestation, the outlet reported. In the audio, a vacuum can be heard suctioning out the unborn child, as well as the woman’s cries and moans. The segment concludes with a doctor telling the patient that the abortion had been completed. Laughter, sighs of relief, and words of moral support followed from the people in the room.
