There was a winner in California.

A holy man in San Diego per chance?

[NA4BH]

San Jose, but I don't know the way.

[W7XF]

Oh well. at the time of posting, the MM website showed the $950M for Friday.

[W7XF]

It still could be the largest single jackpot though....if the winner in CA is a not a legal US resident, they're ineligible to win.

Well....the Georgia winner has come forward. Nothing on the San Jose winner yet. Just the store owner in San Jose, who gets a $1M bonus for selling a winning ticket (CA lottery pays the merchant 5% of the winnings , with a $1M cap).

Shall we work on our conditionals? If I had a billion dollars, I'd...Well hell, I don't know what I would do. I am pretty simple in that respect. I'd have a nice little place in BFE where I could play radio, hunt, and fish, etc. All without the need to leave my property. Then again, my wife would want to travel. Bleh. Guess the I'd have to have a nice mobile setup. Since I will never have a billion dollars, it is a moot point.

It is an interesting proposition to think about. I have no idea what I'd do with all that money, but I'm sure my wife would tell me.

Then she got mad at me for only buying one ticket.

I think she already has plans for all the loot. I wish she'd wait until we actually have some loot...

First thing we would do with a billion is keep my goddamn mouth shut about it. Do very little spending and examine our options. I would be very cautious. Then carefully select a nice sized chunk of land and build a modest, fully energy efficient dome house with several attached units as greenhouses, wellhouse, offices, workshop, hardcore kitchen, etc....top flight DXing station, of course. Studio...of course. I would satisfy a few of my daydreams like having a pre-CBS Jazz bass, a 1964 Ricky 4001, etc...a new pickup truck. Rare, early prints from Charles Shultz and Shel Silverstein, signed by them, for Devies office. A couple of nice rifles and some ammo. A chicken compound and small farm. I would invest in some causes that we feel could use the help. Set some friends and family up with some help. Travel. Then sit on the rest....

Hookers and blow.

[K7SGJ]

Hookers and blow.

Well........yeah. It's what they do, man.

A billion. Half of it would be gone in 1 day.
