1. When I win I'm buying all my friends new teeth.

2. If I win - a trip to the dentist and doctor will be the first thing on my list. n/t

4. Same here.

Sad, really; instead of thinking thoughts like, "ooh, I'll have a private yacht and vacation in <insert exotic locale here>", I'm thinking, "We wouldn't have to worry about whether the A/C will last another summer".

19. When I win

I'm getting MYSELF new teeth.

So I can smile like this:

5. You are at the top of my list.

I admit, I went and paid my $10 statistically-challenged-but-always-hopeful tax today. I play once every few years.

9. In one sense, it's the far end of the investment spectrum

An old friend of mine pointed out that diversification of investments is generally recommended: for most people, it's good to have some money in low-risk, low-yield investments and some in higher-risk, higher-yield ones. She decided that the playing the lottery was making an extremely-high-risk, extremely-high-yield investment, and therefore occasionally justified. *grin*

6. I'm sure you'll love me just the same knowing...

...that I didn't buy a ticket.

11. With 600 mil, I think I really would hire somebody to

go get my groceries and bring them here (I would put them up), cook, clean, wash the dishes (I have no dishwasher) and take the trash off. That person would be paid nicely too, because I hate doing those things with a burning seething passion. I'll do the laundry and occasional cooking (my chili, steak, and vegetable beef soup recipes are hard to duplicate, the rest is repetitive and annoys me).

For the lower amounts, I'd keep doing it myself and hate every minute of it, but 600 million, I cannot even imagine being over-half-a-billionaire.

Just how *much* do you love me? *wink wink*

[mokawanis]

12. That's so sweet of you to say

When I win I'm going to give you $100,000. You're welcome.

[Curmudgeoness]

13. Sucking up, just in case, huh?

I commend you for thinking of it first.

[Historic NY]

14. I could serve some of the worlds problems if I win...

mostly mine.

[Iggo]

15. I'm totally buying you something if I win.

[egold2604]

16. I bought mine

Powerball, you can't lose if you don't play

[nadinbrzezinski]

17. Did you look into my wallet?

Perp!!!!

(Just kidding)

Now on to odds...I got a better chance of getting hit by lightning and mauled by a couple bears in the same day.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

18. I picked the numbers with my eyes closed!

The last time I did this I won $150 on the lottery!

I guess I'd better arrange my bank account in the Cayman Islands.
