SURE! Make your own forum and exclude people that you don't like.
Oh,wait,just charge $20 to join in. That'll do it.
Try to join the De Lorean forum.
I can smear people right here for free. They do,anyway.

They pound us into subission? No,we fight back.
Screw that billionaire scenario. It scares the HELL out of me.
We all are still going to die. I'll leave 'em what I have left and then the heirs can choose what to do with that stuff. Live like you will die tomorrow? No. I need a quote,here!
DonDiego opines some LVA posters just are not comprehending what one can do with an estimated $700,000,000.

DonDiego, himself has always thought that if he won even as much as, say, $5,000,000 he wouldn't change his lifestyle significantly.

But $700,000,000 is a lot of money.

25 Ridiculously Expensive Everyday Items

The Top 27 Expensive Things Money Can Buy

DonDiego would likely become quite the hedonist.
hedonist
noun
1. a person whose life is devoted to the pursuit of pleasure and self-gratification.


And DonDiego would most certainly not spend his very, very valuable time smearing the little people, . . . as some within this forum might choose to do.


EDITED TO ADD

Oh, wait. DonDiego forgot to mention travel. If he were to win the big jackpot, . . . even if he had to share it with 2 or 3 other winning tickets, . . . he'd definitely become a world traveler.
And as luck would have it the New York Times just published a list of 52 Places to Go in 2016. As poor old DonDiego was scrolling through the list he just stopped at #26 Isla Holbox, Mexico. He thinks he might like to live there.
Boiler will likely visit Isla Holbox in the near future. I've traveled nearby Isla Mujeres many times, which is great fun, however I long for it's sleepier times. Back to the day when it was less tourists and more fisherman.

That's why I'm considering Isla Holbox.

Under the top 27 most...

This ammosexual,knuckle dragging, mouth breather who likes things that go "BANG" would love to acquire a tank.


One of my few personal indulgences, probably to go along with a few( or many) other things that go bang

I might have to get one of these bad boys as well. I think it would be the crème' de crème for a later middle-aged, balding white guy, don't ya think?




I believe Don Diego is correct, wrapping ones head around the true amount that 800mill is and what it coulkd indeed buy(or influence) is a bit mind boggling. I can definitely imagine a good bit, but pushing a billion is pretty out there.

Oh yea, one more thing, I really need a kidney.
As the jackpot approaches a b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-illion d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dollars, DonDiego has found some helpful tips from ABC News:

__Leave the number picking to the computer. About 70% of past jackpot winners use Quick Picks.

__For players who are only drawn into extreme jackpots, "lottery expert" Richard Lustig has one tip: "The only advice I can really give people is buy as many tickets as you can afford."

__The most frequently drawn numbers are 8, 54, 14, 39, and 13.

__Stay anonymous if you win.

Rather profound advice, isn't it ?
ABC News reports sometime late Saturday morning the Powerball Jackpot had risen to $900,000,000, . . . or $558,000,000 if taken in cash.

C'mon ! ! ! If the American public cannot push this jackpot above $1,000,000,000 they haven't got a hair on their asses !
Poor old DonDiego's got his ticket(s). The drawing tonight is past his bedtime, . . . so he'll have to find out which ticket won Sunday morning.

He sure hopes he can get his dream car in Eagles Green !

I was out doing some errands today and of course picked up some tix at some various places. Every place I went that sold tix was extremely busy with folks buying. Never really saw it like this. I too wonder if it'll get over a billion by draw time. I'm rooting for no one to win, it would be really interesting to see what the jackpot would reach. 1.5B, 1.8..more?
