    None at this point.
    I remember when they first started the Lottery in Texas.
    There was a bunch of push back from the left saying the poor would spend their money on the Lottery rather than necessities.
    I played for about three months until It got boring....
    They had an ad campaign saying "you cant win if you dont play"
    While I won a few bucks here and there it sure as hell didnt cover what I was spending.
    Never been a big gambler anyway.

    i agree. I played a bunch of times and realized it’s a rigged game and a lost cause. And I think I read somewhere that you have better odds of being hit by lightning 8 times or something. And I thought to myself, I haven’t even been hit once yet.

    they really do put out hopeful stories of winners and making everyone else say, “ why not me?”

    I don't know about you guys, but if I won I would take the yearly installments and give it to Toyota R&D and Manufacturing to fix ALL the issues with the 2022-2026 Tundras. Once fixed I would buy a NEW 2055 Tundra which would be perfect without any issues.

    Then since there will be no more Tundra issues, I would buy this forum on the cheap because there would be no new posts about seats, motors, electronics, or switches. I would link the forum to my Onlyfins page and live off my Tundra + Feet pics!

    No one mentioned getting a second wife? Ukraine is a great place to pick one up. No men left from the war.

    another person to spend your money sounds like a terrible investment strategy

    Yes, you'd rather spend money on your tundra?

    Set up my 2 kids so they won't have to worry about anything money wise, then give the rest away. I would make it my job to decide and distribute money to needed charities.

    There is a rough maximum $ I could put into a Tundra. Which doesnt meet the minimum $ of a second wife.

    First, I wouldn't tell anyone but my wife. I don't need everyone and their mother coming out of the woodwork asking for money.

    I wouldn't go crazy with things. Probably still live in the same house, just remodel it.

    I'd vacation a lot and do some fun things. I'd have a few toys. A vacation home in the mountains and one in Bermuda.

    I'd invest what I need to to live comfortably off the interest, and then anonymously donate a lot of it.

    Everyone says modest things when it comes to dreaming about it, but I bet most would go hog wild if they actually won and had money in hand.

    That much winnings, my family would be set. My buddies would be set. My co workers would be set. Then I would hire someone to put the mods on my truck that have been piling up for the last few years.

    Yeah, surefire way to ruin their lives. Very smart. Hopefully this was a tongue-in-cheek post and not a real parenting idea.
