(4,851 posts)The notion of wasting $20 on a "nick-nack" that will gather dust drives me crazy. So we all buy each other lotto scratch cards. Usually we win about $100 overall, and we spend about $200 so its a net gain to the state. but we laugh a lot and all share the craziest thing we would do if we won the top prize. It makes for some fun and we consider it a donation to the state. Collectively we are up because about ten years ago someone won $1500. I think it was my sister, but I could be wrong.

(54,256 posts)I'd like to win in the realm of 100 mil, and for just one reason.
Charter. Jet.
No TSA.
No lines.
No delays.
No cancelled flights.
First Class, all the way.
Limo to the closest airport.
(Or helicopter?)
15 minutes for me.
Fly into the closest airport to your ultimate destination.
Limo from airport to said destination.
(If helicopter not available.)

At the very least think of the party you could have.
