Do any of you play the lottery?

[Tom R.]

I stopped playing the lottery a long time ago. Even then I only played the large jackpots.  I'm finding myself tempted again. There are two huge jackpots right now totaling 2.6 billion dollars combined.  

If I won either of those jackpots I would have instantly smashed my lifes financial goals.  I would have to quit my day job so I had time to invest the money properly. You cant just have billions of dollars sitting in a bank. 

If I won first thing I would do is pay off my moms house. Then I would buy a large lot of land over 200 acres somewhere with a pleasant climate and start building my house. Then its time to start investing the money.

I agree with Dave Ramsey. The lottery is a tax on poor people. I don’t play.
