If things go as planned and I win the Mega Ball, I'll spread the love to all here on the forum. 

I'll probably only work a half day tomorrow, then shoot downtown to the Ellicott Sq Bldg and cash in my ticket. 

If you haven't bought a ticket yet tonight, save your money.  I got this one..........

I never check my numbers, I just wait for the news to say one winning ticket was bought at Hegedorns market in Webster . Funny thing was a few months back, a guy did win a few million off a ticket he bought there , which I heard on the news .

Id hold off claiming , I’d want to get a few things in place , like move, new phone number ,set up LCC or whatever is needed to insulate us from the the masses .

They say more money more problems.  I don't mine trading my poor people problems with the millionaire problems even if its more.

I also agree with @Robhuntandfish.  I'd make a great millionaire.  I think they should just make me a millionaire simply because I would do well as one.

Got around 5 Millionaires in the family and a few more as friends, one or two million and you’ll live pretty much as most do now , it’s not much considering one can safely draw around 5% off it a year and not worry about the principle .

Some will say 5% - 7% but I’m conservative.  If you’re young you’d want to keep,working to let it grow to a bit more.

This is my one Newphews place he’s a true 1% and then some, 12,000 sf house, he works his a$$ off every day .

That one is a CFO for hire . He comes in and makes companies profitable again or more profitable. Grew up,in a 1,000 sq house with 6 people .

My other one in Nashville May be ahead of him .....he’s been featured in INK magazine, and a Hell of a deer hunter !

most millionaires i know don't really gamble or play the lottery.  not that they couldn't use more money but they see it as a poor investment with little chance of gain. it's often hard to not see they're well off but most i know are fairly modest with their houses and money. don't finance shit unless it's the conditions of a minimum amount to get some sort of money off on something like say a vehicle. every nickel and dime saved is earned and worth it, unless it's a must have creature comfort to them or not worth their time they'd lose doing something else.  the real question is it's easier to make money if you have money. would you be the person to invest it with risk to turn it into much more or would you put more of it in something safe to draw off a small percentage?

Here we go ...the wife and I saved and invested 10 -20 % of our income for 30 years . We’re in a good place now , I was always a buy and hold reinvest the profits guy . Mostly funds and a fan of Vanguard , got my first of theirs in 1,982 still have it , used some to pay for ours kids college ( we paid all of it btw .) 

Today we’re in index funds, which most should be as fees will kill you long term , also about a quarter in a fixed 4% investment . I’m a big fan of a 3-5 fund lazy portfolio .

So I don’t swing for the fences , currently with our ages I recognize I have 30 years ahead to go as my family live to their 90s plus so,I have to stay 60% or so in stocks,but still more protective then in our early years , I’m shooting for 7-8% yearly returns ,Strong year or not .

ive never had a car loan or leased, this year I took a loan on the new car as they offered 0%, put the money in a fixed account paying 3% . Don’t know my credit score nor do I care .
