comprehending that much money

i don't think any of us will ever be able to comprehend such a large amount of money unless we actually win it ourselves

yes I am talking about powerball..jack potted to 24 million.

even if you were to say spend 4 million buying/building your dream home and helping out family and close friends and put the rest in the bank and live off the interest. you would get around $18k a week in interest after tax. The average person would take around 6-8 months to earn that by working and just think you would have that in a week.

it will be interesting to see if it does end up jack potting to 30 million..would be kind of nice if say 20 people won I certainly would not complain if we won 1.5 million would pay off our mortgage :) plus be to able to do renovations around the house.

I'd be happy with a few hundred thousand I'd be over the moon with more than that.

Imagine if you did put it in the bank to accrue interest how much you could do for family, friends and charity. 

crap....jackpotted again...that means I didnt win it!!1 LOL

I am not gready...I would be happy if 24 ppl won that with me...he he ha ha.

1 mil would pay off my mortgage and I would have a huge chunck left...I wouldnt know what to do with it!!??

Yay we've still got a chance to win next week. phew didn't get a ticket yesterday.
There's lots I could do if money wasn't an issue.
Be a full time SAHM, pay off the mortgage do the renovations.

Buy a property in Europe somewhere to go holiday for 3 months a year during the winter months.

We could buy apartments in Wellington and Auckland so we don't have to stay with our parents every time we visit.

Interest of 2.4m a year would be so good. I'd probably still work part-time. I could finally live my dream of having my own B&B, homestay business.

I am with you paws.

I would definately put it in some interest baring account and live off the interest after i had a HUGE spend up

wouldn't it be great if you could just wake up and decide right we are off to Paris next week or go out and buy that 42" plasma tv

I agree
it all comes down to luck for every line you have you have a 1 in 38 million of winning.

and those who complain I am sure they wouldn't turn down 24 million :)
