48 Philly transit workers win $172M Powerball jackpotReply
Not everyone on here publicizes what they make or what they have so don't assume you are the only one. $1.5 million is more than sufficient to retire/semi-retire on if you know what you are doing and live the Bentley lifestyle. If you took roughly half the money and bought franchise restaurants, say Subways for example, you could do very well. Typically one years worth of net profits is needed for the deposit so you could buy about ten of them. So roughly you would net about $650,000 or so a

48 Philly transit workers win $172M Powerball jackpotReply
Congratulations 48 Pennsylvania winners! This is a good, tidy, Powerball jackpot lump-sum share win of apx. $1.68M each (after initial Fed 25% Income Tax are taken out, and monies received)! Though the article indicated that some of these 48 jackpot sharing winners will retire, I think that would be foolish, so I hope they didn't officially indicate so to their employer. That is, of course, unless those were the people that were already at retirement age and they are already entitled to the

Powerball lottery jackpot hits $200 millionReply
Lottery players have a magic number how much would it take to retire, Cook said. For Mike Anthony, 31, a pharmaceutical salesman, that number was right around Wednesday's jackpot of $173 million. Yeah, it would be so very difficult to retire on the after-tax cash from a jackpot of only $50 million.

POLL: Motivation for playingReply
While I'm happy to win anything, I'm after the jackpot so I can retire, and the Mrs. can retire. She lost her job about a year ago after 27 years with the same company. It took her 9 months to find another job, and frankly, it had an effect on her with the way these corps treat people. We are both ready mentally, but not financially (yet) to tell our employers to get lost. BTW, the jackpot has to be at least the Tx 2 Step, and then probably around $500K (it starts at $200K). With our other in

Single winner in $314M Powerball lottery drawingReply
Finally, in my opinion, if a player is age 40+, he or she can retire off the interest of $4 or $5 million and never touch the principal! I agree. I could live on a lot less. If I won $1 or $2 million I'd retire very comfortably. Life doesn't have to be expensive. I'm not talking about anyone in particular, but I always get a kick out the posters who say I couldn't live on $10 million. These people obviously are making over $500K a year at their jobs!

Men threaten discrimination suit against N.M. LotteryReply
Dahlstrom said his sales territory expanded from 94 retailers to 162 this year. That was not the job that I was hired to do, he said. Sue, sue, sue, that's all everyone wants to do. It is clear this guy thinks he is a union worker instead of a sales worker; I've run into a lot of union workers in my 10+ year stint in the US Navy...guys telling me, That is not my job... You never here a startup businessman/entrepreneur say that a certain thing is not their job. If he can't fulfil

where in the world would you live if you hit a jackpot?Reply
I would continue to maintain my present house and perhaps another one in a more upscale area of Chicago (would have to do that to have a suitable place to park my luxury cars...luxury cars in my current neighborhood are Mercedes, Volvos, and Lexus...my type of luxury cars are Maseratis and Bentleys). I would also purchase houses in Florida, Atlanta, and Texas so I would have places to stay in overseeing my financial service operations as well as my trucking enterprise. Retire...no way. Only l

Protecting your numbersReply
There would be no way to retire off of 1/10 of $20 million though, and what's the point of winning a PB/MM jackpot if you still aren't financially independent? ryanm I guess we live in different worlds. First of all, if I won $2 million I'd be ecstatic. Is there really a single person on this board who wouldn't be jumping up and down with joy if he/she won all that money? If you currently work 40-50 hours a week and make $50,000, a million dollars cash is 20 times your annual salary wit

If you won lotto where would you move to.Reply
My favourite pool I guess !!! I would move Southwest! Arizona, New Mexico or Utah. I actually play with only one reason in mind. To retire early and retire in one of these states!
