what car are you buying tomorrow after you win tonight's 1.4b powerball?

>>28602417 (OP)
What makes you think I’m wasting money on the slim chance of receiving a windfall that could potentially ruin my life, long term?

even people paying for onlyfans are more respectable than the people who pool their money into this just so it can be given all to one person that won't be you.

>>28602421
you won't spare $2 for a chance, however slim, to be handed a literal fortune because you're too cheap and you have an irrational fear of your life changing? retarded.

>>28602426
It’s not that I’m cheap, I just learned my lesson after spending hundreds of dollars on the lottery, 8 years ago, and not winning anything.

Honestly. Going full normie and buying a fat fucking aventador svj. And then a model of every car i like over the years

>>28602431
>after spending hundreds of dollars on the lottery
well you're a retard then. i spend maybe $10 a year for the chance of fortune.

Probably a cayman gt4 and a HRV to daily drive

Hang yourselves, Powerball shills.

>>28602436
The more money you spend on the lottery, the greater the chances of winning the lottery.
On the other hand, your chances of winning shrinks as the jackpot increases, due to more people playing.

>>28602417 (OP)
Absolutely anything that strikes my fancy. If I had to say which one I'd buy first, that limits me to current production models that I could pick up from a dealership instead of looking for the right one on the secondhand market, so that would probably be a CT5-V Blackwing.

A 2nd-gen Chally-Wally. What a dream!

I would purchase all EVs and launch them into space!

>>28602454
this is both statistically and factually incorrect. amazing

>>28602477
what would that accomplish? you'd be greatly funding the EV industry, and they'd just produce millions of more.

Shitpost on /o/ forever and win every argument ever because I can just buy any /o/ approved car or truck ever

I would make sure everyone knows that I was the one who won, that I took the lump sum, and that I used it all to buy up every car 10k and below

>>28602510
May I suck your balls and buy you a ticket?

>>28602510
I'd make an India only containment board just to watch it as an experiment

...and I'd buy 4chan too (If I win tonight I'm gonna try to find out how to do that and how much it'd cost)

>>28602510
Been phone posting on /o/ everyday since 09. Thinkpad for a few years b4 that.

I always thought if I had fuck you money, it would be so boring to just buy cars. I look at celebrities or otherwise rich people and they'll spend millions of dollars on all the newest Ferraris and Lamborghinis and Rolls Royceses and it's so uninteresting and generic. I would build really crazy jaw dropping cars like the K24 swapped Hellcat or the dual engined MX3, or put a V12 in the bed of an old pickup.

>>28602629
that's not crazy draw dropping. that's what any redneck like whistling diesel does and there are a lot of them.

>>28602634
The K24 Hellcat is just for making people angry lol

>>28602659
try the classic LS into Rx7 getup for that. it still causes seethe to this day because the fanboys of those cars are the most insecure. challengers are plentiful and it wouldn't make anyone any angrier than the average V6 one does.

I was too late to get a ticket. If my numbers win I'm blowing my brains out.

Nigga what
Why would it matter?

One of these bad boys

>>28602634
Yeah bro I'm sure you see K24 swapped Hellcats aaalllll the time. It's such a common swap, everyone does it.

>>28602417 (OP)
>what car are you buying tomorrow after you win tonight's 1.4b powerball?

Not surprisingly, a significant percentage of winners end up dead within five years. Some people want their inheritance early, and a powerball winner has a big enough pile of money to make it worth the effort to try something shady.

Another is that strong arm people will come to you and force you to hand over money. This happened in my state. About two counties north of me, someone won a non-powerball but still substantial 40 million payout. So people came over and invaded the home, forced transfer of a lot of money.

There are services that will help manage your money if you take the lump sum. But the best thing to do if you get a huge lump sum is go to your bank and register for that service (my bank has something similar) that prevents transfer of funds other than those on the list you approve. You pay a fee for the account protection. You are protected because you have to go into the bank to change it, thus you cannot be held prisoner in your home while they wait for transfer to occur.

>>28602756
you're right, bro. 4 cylinder pony car has never been done before. you're going to make all those boomers so mad because no one has ever heard fart canned pony before. its not like the big three haven't already done it themselves.

>>28602768
You really make it sound like there's just a bunch of guys out there running around with 1000hp Honda crate engines swapped into V8 muscle cars but you and me and everyone else here knows there's not. If it was really so unoriginal and uninteresting then I don't think the guys doing it would have gotten almost 2 million views on the build video in only 12 days.

>>28602790
there are a bunch of guys with 4 cylinder muscle cars with fart cans driving around daily, factory installed by Ford and GM. if you go to the drag strip, you can find 1000 HP examples as well. they sound no different than the farts from a honda engine, and you can put shelby and ZL1 badges and bodykits and make them look like they did an ebin swap to trigger the boomers (who won't care be cause they lived through >>28602466)
.>million views on a channel that regularly gets millions of views
wow, he totally culture shocked the world.

>>28602669
There's lots of V6 Chargers and Challengers, it's true. But I'm pretty sure next to none of them started life with a supercharged V8 and had the V6 swapped in afterwards.

>>28602757
>Another is that strong arm people will come to you and force you to hand over money. This happened in my state. About two counties north of me, someone won a non-powerball but still substantial 40 million payout. So people came over and invaded the home, forced transfer of a lot of money.
A lot of states let you do it anonymously through a trust

>>28602813
if someone with said V6 can just throw on a hellcat bodykit and badges, and claim they did a swap, they can completely undermind your whole build without having paid for an actual hellcat. no one will know the difference or care enough to do a deep inspection.

there are really only two paths a car guy could take after winning the lottery.

1. open up an auto museum to the public and hire some people to run it so that you can get cheaper insurance for your collection, make money on it, and have it all serviced/maintained on company dime

2. move within 20 minutes of a mid-tier race track and start with a FWD 4banger and upgrade the car and then replace it with a better car as if you were playing IRL gran turismo

>>28602843
If I won a 1.4 billion dollar jackpot, I'm making my own track, not just moving next to one.

>>28602818
If you're dumb enough to see a Hellcat with a stock 3.6L V6 in it and believe the guy actually swapped the engine and not the badges then that's on you. Imagine seeing a guy with like a 2JZ swapped Camry or a 13B swapped BMW and thinking "eh that's not interesting because I saw a guy with a Ecoboost mustang"

My brain only sees an IROC-Z with a body kit.

I haven't decided yet. It'll either be a Taycan turbo S or an air sapphire. Any thoughts? I want an EV.

>>28603283
With hundreds of millions at your disposal? Both, clearly

It'll be 2 billion by Saturday.
As for what I'd buy, I'd finally have the money to complete my unhealthy mental regression the culture of the late 90's and early 2000s, so probably a mystichrome cobra, a new suburban for road trips (when I drive), a custom sprinter van for road trips (when I don't drive), and a 06 ford GT (dream car).
My friends are all mechanics by trade so I'd probably spend more helping with their projects than I ever would on my own garage.

>>28603289
Good point. I do plan on buying 4 homes in 4 different states and a big plot of land to build a castle mansion in if I win it. And each home will have its own car.

Im only going to win the $2 million prize and after taxes thats like $1 million.
After I pay off the mortgage and max out 401(k) without penalty I might have enough left over for a first gen Bronco.

>>28602417 (OP)
I'm buying all the shitbox cars I've ever wanted and a big garage, maybe a hangar so that I can live out the rest of my life working on cars and driving them places. If I could do that for the rest of my life, I would be content.

>>28602903
if the camry already came with another straight six and BMW already came with another type of rotary, then no, it wouldn't be interesting. just like 4 and 6 cylinders in a muscle car isn't. your V6 hellcat won't look any different than the body swapped ones.

>>28602417 (OP)
gambling is haram

the lottery is fake. they pump it up to high numbers so the CIA and FBI can fund their black projects. they have a pickup guy that has the actual winning number to give the illusion to the public that winning is possible. he then turns the money over to his boss (after a sizeable payment to himself)

>>28603252

I hate conspiracy theorists so much

>>28602475
If you have two tickets your chances are 2 in 292 million, or 1 in 146 million.
Theoretically I don't think anything would stop someone with enough cash available to spend $584,000,000 to buy every possible combination and guarantee winning the jackpot.

>>28604146
>Theoretically I don't think anything would stop someone with enough cash available to spend $584,000,000 to buy every possible combination and guarantee winning the jackpot.
it's been done and there are laws against it iirc

>>28604127
Old conspiracy theorists at least had some semblance of logic. The new crowd just believes or disbelieves things based entirely on retarded internet posts, even if they make no sense.

>>28604147
I remember hearing about one where the owner of a convenience store was buying thousands of tickets from his own store and supposedly that wasn't legal anymore but if you're buying them from a retailer how can it be illegal? The lottery is getting paid for them just like they would from any other customer, you don't work for a place that sells lottery so there's no conflict of interest or possible insider advantage they could claim

Growing up is realizing the lottery is a tax on stupid people.
Anytime the normgroids at work start buzzing about muh jackpot I'm reminded of how far ahead I am compared to the average person.

It's a good feel.

>>28604382
typically rich people have much much better ways to make money than the lottery, especially since it's possible for there to be multiple jackpot winners, and all money is taxed.

>>28604425
there's a breaking point in which it makes more sense to buy a lottery ticket than not to. you aren't as smart as you think you are, nor are you any better or "further ahead" than your coworkers.

>>28604425
>"I'm reminded of how far ahead I am compared to the average person."
>stupid frogposter
Your feelings of superiority are entirely unfounded. You are, in fact, inferior

as someone who lives in a bigger city, I'd just buy whatever 5 seater SUV is currently trendy and ride it out until it's time to move to somewhere secluded

>>28604542
I mean yeah you put the 500-some odd million into stocks or bonds you'll shoot past the jackpot in a month

>>28602417 (OP)
A Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness. Then a house with a 4 car garage, then a Miata, then I'll start buying tools to fit in one of the other car bays, then eventually a kit roadster that needs to be fiddled with every time before driving on a nice Summer day.

>>28604382
it would take almost $600 million to buy every possible power ball combination (and you'd have to buy almost 300 million tickets in just 3 days, not sure where the fuck you'd be able to do that)
with the current 1.7 billion jackpot, the lump sum in cash is almost $800 million. after taxes and shit, you're walking away with just under $500 million.

yes, this shit is a fucking scam.

>>28604559
If I had a million dollars I'd put it in high yield index funds and get about 98k a year after taxes barring a market crash.
I would never work again, and that's why I am consistently barred from winning the lottery.

>>28604546
>>28604551
I see I've triggered the normgroids.
Go ahead and buy those tickets, cucks.

>>28603516
>>28603516
but by your own logic a civic swapped charger would be interesting because chargers were never offered with 4 cylinders. and also by your own logic something like a GTR swapped Honda Odyssey wouldn't be interesting because they already had 4 cylinders. such a silly little rule to try to follow.

>chargers were never offered with 4 cylinders
yes they were. like i already said, the big three have already done this. no one would give a shit.

>what car are you buying tomorrow after you win tonight's 1.4b powerball?
A Prius, after I notice people trying to scope out the previous car.

to all the people that say winning the lottery would be awful, it would be pretty easy to make it work.

step 1. find a national law firm and use them to cash the ticket through an LLC

2. figure out a percentage of winnings for family, then set up a trust and divvy out equal amounts for each person and keep a team of attorneys on retainer to help them through their financial and legal hurdles

3. direct all requests for money from anyone to a team that will use a pre-determined metric and a cash pool to figure out how much to give to each person. ie $30 for girl scout cookies $100 to a kid who wants to go to basketball camp $10,000 for cancer research, etc. anyone asks for money, give them a business card with a unique pin so that they can't reuse it for other reasons

4. start a couple businesses and hire on management to run them so there is incoming cash. offer jobs to friends and give them cushy positions such as 'head of quality management for incoming clients' so that they can make some money and things don't get weird

5. write up a contract with a financial team that would give a hard cap on yearly spending so that the well doesn't dry up in 6 months

6. find someone you trust and put them in communication with a team of private investigators to watch your back and your finances.

Then just lay low and don't do anything dumb like drop 20 grand at a strip club or commit crimes with checks and you'll be fine

>>28604717
easiest thing to do when winning the lottery is once you anonymously collect your winnings/paid your taxes, immediately leave the country, change your name, and make it seem as though you've vanished off the face of the earth. then live humbly somewhere else whilst making new friends who have no idea how rich you are. if you don't have children, now is the perfect time to raise them exactly the way you want.

if you love your family, then it might be difficult. for me, there isn't a single person i would miss if i had to just leave and start over.

>>28604717
>winning the lottery would be awful
This is the true retard take

>>28604732
>>28604717 here

sounds like you've already won the lottery, anon. you just don't know it. some of us will never have people we can truly trust or call "family".

would japan welcome a foreigner to move there if they're pissing money? or do they still require work visas and shit

>>28604845
You can pay a japanese woman to marry you and easily obtain citizenship.

>>28604851
that'll do, thanks anon
I have the winning numbers so just wanted to check ahead of time

>>28604425
You're right. The smart thing is not to play. Most people have no idea about money and it shows. A lot of people just want to get rich quick because they drive shitboxes. Just look at the post your car thread kek

You can take the $100 one would invest in the lottery and use it to buy some good stocks and options, which will leave you much richer, and more satisfied.

>>28605760
Why are you investing $100 into the lottery? Are you fucking dumb?
Also a $100 investment in stocks will net you on average $5-10 a year.
Which while more than you'll probably ever make on the lottery, is an insignificant amount for any adult.

Don't buy any more tickets, I already plan to win tomorrow.

My winning ticket has the following numbers:

04 06 11 61 64 13
15 17 35 54 56 04
03 08 25 29 56 26
01 13 41 47 59 09
21 42 48 62 63 20


This should be enough numbers to cover the possible outcomes of how I interact with this reality and its possible divergences.

These normally wouldn't be the winning numbers but because I posted them it affects the people who see this and therefore the outcome of the lottery.

>>28606545
Someone did it with the texas lottery when the jackpot was $100mil, with 25 million different combinations at $1 a piece. They had dozens of lottery ticket printing machines delivered to a warehouse and had people working around the clock to print out almost every possible ticket.

oh please educate me lmao

>>28604146
The problem is that winning the jackpot isn't exclusive: If you buy every combination right now you'd still risk some random person also winning and splitting the pot, then you'd be out hundreds of millions.

>>28604425
It's a bit of a prisoner's dilemma. It'd be objectively better for nobody to ever play the lottery, but once it reaches a certain jackpot amount (almost always over 1b) the temptation becomes too great for any mathematically nonzero chance of victory to not play it at all.

>>28606955

Win lottery, immediately pick out a national lawfirm and get a partnered attorney. Doesn't matter how expensive it is, once you mention you've won the lottery. Get a trusts and estates attorney. Pick the lump sum option and always have my attorney with me. Once I have the cash, hide, I'd travel to a bigger city anyways to hire my attorney so I'd go with an nice hotel in the city. work with my attorney to set up a series of trusts for the people I care about (about 12 people in total). Do the legal work to change my name while I'm at it. Use the money to travel around for about a year or so until the name change and change of address (PO box in the city where my attorney is) are in effect and for a majority of the people looking for handouts have fucked off. I'm pretty lucky in this case, I'm a homebody and I don't have too many loose friends, family, acquaintances. I wouldn't be stiffing anyone close to me, my name is pretty common as well so it's not likely that many people will see my name declared a winner and think it's me.

The trusts for my close friends/family will cover anything they'd ever realistically need. They wouldn't -have- to ever work again and could live a very comfortable life. Anything I invite them out for, I'd pay for. Be it just dinner, events, or something like vacation to Paris. If I ever get the inkling that my money changed them, I can just cut them out of my life (they can keep the trust I set up for them) and move on. I've spent a lot of time thinking/dreaming about winning, I have a pretty good idea how to set myself up for life without running the risk of bankruptcy or betrayal death.

>>28607036
If i won the lottery I'm paying off every relative I've seen in the last 15 years, even the ones I don't like/dont fuck with, so that they leave me the fuck alone. For me, thats 25 relatives and friends (I counted households as one person, so say a cousin that is married with two kids count as one person).
I would set up trusts and give every single one of those 25 people/households 500 grand. 12.5 million dollars out of a 400 million dollar payoff is chump change for there to be no drama/resentment my way. Not playing favorites with varying payouts, everyone gets the same check.
