Soooooo, if YOU won the 700million what would you do with it? I'm having a great time spending my imaginary winnings....

Given the chest cold I have right now (thanks loving family!), it's hard to think of anything but "cure the stupid common cold."

Use it to frigging finish the computer animated Gatchaman movie!

Oh Chris! I hope you feel better soon! A cold is the worst! ( curing it is a great idea!)

Oooh, I like that idea. Well, firstly I'd tell my boss I'm never coming back. I'd buy a remote patch of land far away from everyone, build a nice little house. Buy a car. Set up a charity/shelter for abused/unwanted animals. And do all the nothing I want. LOL.

We could do a lot for the series with all that cashola! Redbird, I agree with wanting to move away....turns out money may be able to buy privacy, if not happiness!

Exactly! I'm a very solitary person for the most part

me too! I'm definitely on the introverted side of never leaving the house! (Unless it's for a convention, or Gatch stuff!)

Here's something you could really splash out on with all that dough, and still have spare change too! Motor home

YES!!!! Would be totally worth the 700 mil!

Damn! that's almost twice the size of my condo. And the name of the California dealer made me chuckle.

* sigh * Pity it`s not wheelchair accessible....wait a minute. With $800 million to play with, I can have the thing made accessible!

EW, with that kind of money you could pay some veeeery beautiful people to carry your highness up! (Or install an elevator)

WOW! Now that's a motor home! I wonder if it ships for free....

Sure it does, if you signed up for Amazon Prime!

As I am posting this, the Powerball numbers have been drawn, but not before the jackpot was again increased to $900 million! I just can`t wrap my brain around that kind of money. Part of me hopes that nobody hit the jackpot -- I`m kind of hooked on seeing more and more peoples` jaws drop as the amount goes up!

Okay, time to think of this: $1.3 BILLION! How many minds have been blown again?

Yup, *mind-blown* all right, although the more the jackpot rises, the greater the odds of there being multiple winners, so it would be unlikely that one single person will take all that money! Still, even a share of all that would still be life changing....

So, if we do have a lucky winner in our little band, here's something else they might want to consider purchasing.... An insperational house.

Well I went and bought another ticket this morning, that's for sure!

If we go a couple more drawings without a winner, Powerball will start making El Gordo look muy pequeño ! (This past Christmas, El Gordo was $2 billion.) The main difference between the two lotteries, though, is that El Gordo is split up into smaller prizes, so one person wouldn`t walk away with the full 2 billion. Still, it`s hard to think it`s possible for one person to win enough money to pay off the debt of many small countries! I just hope that the money goes toward doing good, no matter who wins it.

You mean it WASN'T won last night? How many draws has it been going on for then? I know the UK Lotto only allows the jackpot prize to be rolled over three times, then on the fourth draw, if there's no outright jackpot winner, the jackpot is shared among any second prize winners. We'd never get jackpot prizes of that much! How the Euro lottery works, I've no idea, but that has built some substantial jackpot prizes.

From what I could find, the last time the Powerball jackpot was won was in February 2015. Since it`s played twice a week, it`s been drawn almost 100 times now without a win.

wow! No wonder the Jackpot is so big then!

Gonna buy my ticket tomorrow!

Okay, I just discovered that was a mistake. This run started on November 4 at $40 million. It`s rolled over 20 times. Still -- !!!

yeah, that is some run! It would never happen with the UK Lotto! I can't imagine what it could build up to if it did!

Somebody hit the Powerball jackpot. Congrats to whomever that is. Let`s hope nobody hits the next jackpot until at least March 30. (Saturday`s drawing plus 21 rollovers, so it will be at least $2 billion.)
