Who else will be getting a ticket this week?? Cant believe it is that high, wow where would I begin?! A neighbour of ours won $6 million a few years ago, and I remember them saying you could live off the interest, imagine what $20 mill would be like. Although I do kinda hope it goes to a few people, I dont think anyone needs that amount of money.....how pissed would I be though if I had to share it lol!! ------------- Mum to Mr 10, Mr 6 and Mr 4

The 18 year old won £7 million (so $20 million NZ)- but yeah still pretty cool! She split the euromillions jackpot of £100 million pounds- so about $280 million NZ. Imagine living off THAT interest ------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

if you say invested say $15 million at say 7% you would get after tax approx $15k a week..just think the average person has work around 5 months before they get that.
Id like to think that he average person could live off $15k a week especially if they had no mortgage. just think you could decided to take a trip overseas and even if you only spent $5k a week could save for a month and have enough to go over to Europe for several weeks. if we did win Id want to have our dream house built and then renovate this place. I heard a few years ago from someone who used to work in lotto that once powerball gets to $30 million it has to go. ------------- http://lilypie.com">

at even just 5% before tax you could get around $1.1 million a week before tax so probably around $600k a week after tax....lol the mind just boggles at that much money ------------- http://lilypie.com">
