Mega Millions is around $650 million. The 4th largest jackpot in US history. If no one wins on Tuesday it's going to go way up with all the office pools and the like.

So, after you waste your $2, what are you going to do with the $$$ you aren't going to win?

Me: I'm going to buy a sponge factory and use it to drain the Atlantic ocean.

e: Also, powerball is around $350 million right now. Good for top 30 all time.

I’m going to buy millions worth of black charcoal and transport it to the South Pole and try and ensure sunlight is absorbed and accelerate global warming/human extinction.

Plus I’ll likely get a house with a pool, a GMC Sierra Denali and a Lamborghini

My state had a special fund for education setup when they first legalized this, then a few years ago they just said nah and put the revenue into the general (slush) fund, so there is no way to tell if they spend it on the original intent.

ensure I've got enough money to live more than comfortably forever, set aside large sums to improve the lives of my friends and family (I think a pre-existing list of who I'm willing to give to and flat amounts I'm willing to gift them would cut down on the number of dubious offers to invest in someone's hot new restaurant), and then make a decision about how to use the remainder to effect social change - it'd be fun to bankroll socialists to primary the hell out of awful Democrats, but I really think the money might be better spent on a housing first approach to homelessness within my state

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Pay someone to go claim the winnings so they have to get all the publicity.

Become even more of a hermit than I am today.

Wife and I never work a day in our lives again.

Maybe become a Soros-like boogeyman for insane people and pay protestors to do stuff, I dunno.

Start manufacturing and green businesses that employ locals at good wages and help the poor and lobby government and maybe run for office to try to fix things and bring back the unions and recreate the middle class and get assassinated by the CIA.

Seriously though, wasn't this attainable for the middle class like 15, 20 years ago? I think it was. It would be amazing to have something like this.

My wife and kids have begged for an infinity pool in our backyard (the layout is perfect). I've staunchly opposed it for this reason, I can't imagine paying 40-50k on something that the next homeowner doesn't want to take care of and lowers my houses value on the market in general.

We never wanted it, but really loved the house.
After the first summer I ran the numbers and went "you gotta be making GBS threads me"
Kept it another two for no drat reason and finally got it ripped out. Ours was a big rear end semi above ground with a huge deck built around it.

I swam in it twice.

Your wife and kids being super happy > your property value being 5% lower in theory like 20 years from now whenever you sell it. And aren't property taxes based on home value, looks like you'll be paying less $ than your neighbours (which you could use for more pool toys and other fun stuff!)

Do it you goon.

I'd probably quit my job and tell my boss he's a fucktit.

Then I'd go totally loving insane from all the money, try my luck in rich people stuff like starting a business selling ivory buttplugs or something.

Two years later all the money is gone and I'm back asking for my job back, but the boss won't hire me because he's a fucktit.

It's true a shark got into mine
I saw it and it winked at me and I had to call a guy with a van to come get it and I stayed in the house because I was scared the shark would find me
