What Would You do if You WON?

+43 Do you stop buying tickets when the jackpot resets?

I don't plan on taking a break honestly. $20 million is functionally the same as $200 million or even $1 billion for me, in the sense that there's only so much money I need to do the things I want. In some ways $5 mil is a nicer and less stressful amount to receive than $500 mil or however much that insane jackpot was after taxes and lump sum. Don't get me wrong, I know it's a world of difference technically, but $5 mil for me means I don't have to work anymore and can live a comfortable modest lifestyle, which would be exactly the same if I won the last jackpot. So to me that's still a dream worth a few bucks a week. Do your lottery spending habits change when the jackpot resets?

+25 @flabslabrymr No, I'm in every draw. But I usually just buy one ticket instead of multiple like last week.

+18 @Tough_Cycle8603 I would be ecstatic with $20 million (or any million), so I keep playing.

+15 @DistributionShoddy45 I wait until the cash option after taxes is over 50 million.
