They picked my numbers but because I said that I'd bring back Crystal Pepsi, BIG SODA is changing everything to stop me!

Yeah, it's starting to kinda get to the point where even accounting for the states that let you claim anonymously, I'm not sure I'd want the gigantic target on me that would invariably result from winning the jackpot.

Got to where, even in states that expect you to sing and dance for your check, get plastic surgery, change your name, grab your money and disappear in some small island paradise that is inaccessible save for one runway. Anti-aircraft gun at the ready.
One can dream...

Yeah, I see they're suddenly now showing one winner in CA. This does seem a bit sus, especially after all the mumblings about delaying the drawing due to security precautions or whatever.
Altadena is north of Pasadena and basically part of greater LA, and Cali doesn't allow you to claim anonymously, so yeah, if this is a legit winner, they better be prepared to f***ing hunker down for a while, from Cali media and paparazzi if nothing else.

I'm more interested in Wisconsin Megabucks, which isn't the best of odds but a lot easier to win than Powerball. And it's sitting at well over $12M for the jackpot, which is a nice pre-tax $450000+ for 25 years if the winner went that route. And I very much would.

These jackpots are ridiculous. One person doesn't need two billion dollars.

Luckily after taxes the winner only gets half a bill Also that 2 billion is an annuity. But honestly we can't get into a conversation here about who needs what without breaking rules I mean, you can but you would have to be very careful about it. For example, if I pointed out that there are people who have more money than they could possibly spend in their lifetime, it is not a stretch to say that they definitively do not need the superfluous money that they can never spend. Definitionally, they do not need it. We can also discuss how we would attempt to spend a literal mountain of cash if we had it. I might decide that a social media company that I hate needs to go out of business, buy said business, start destroying its consumer and advertising base, talk about putting even viewing anything related to its product behind a paywall so that no one else even thinks about the company anymore, then shut it all down when it JUST WILL NOT STOP LOSING MONEY. That sounds fun. Wait, that sounds like I'd either be really stupid or the world's most absurd supervillain.
