I bought a Powerball ticket, first time ever.

    Depends on how much I won.

    A million or less, I'd take a few days off and go get the check, do a nice remodel on the house, build that outbuilding I've been wanting. Maybe buy another rental property with whatever is left, then back to work.

    Sometimes it depends on the day of the week. Some days if I won a free cheeseburger I'd be "eff this I'm outta here".

    If I won a million, I'd probably stay for a few more years, but that money would sure help pad my retirement. 2 million and up, I'd probably quit. Not to say I wouldn't work anymore (maybe get a job at the golf course), but the interest on that money would start to easily replace my income at that point, so it becomes a simple math problem. I'm only working until I have enough nuts squirreled away to last me the rest of my life, and not a second more. Unfortunately as it stands that's a lot longer than I'd like.

    Is there ever a more appropriate situation where 'Hookers and Blow" doesn't enter the equation?

    Culling the latter took care of a lot of the former.

    Following the money, does interest on the tickets sales come into play concerning this draw delay?

    decided to get a ticket. Had fun thinking about it while walking to dog. When they draw the numbers and there isn't a single number correct I'll go back to not buying them again

    I'm sure it was some 86 year old woman that doesn't know the first thing about hooker's and blow.

    It’ll be a good down payment on their income tax bill from their job at McDonald’s.

    Hmmm, I think I have an uncle in Commiefornia....

    Wait...is CA a state that allows anonymous claims?
