$345 million vs $900 million

After I bought a house a Golden Oaks, a Club 33 membership, a house for my daughter's family, and paid for my kids and grandkids education, I have no idea what I would do with that money. Probably set up a scholarship program for military kids and hire a damn good accountant.

I'm going to request them in single, unmarked $1 bills and stuff them in my mattress

At least buy a new mattress with some of the bills first

I would also be so happy like PPs with just $1 million. It's just enough for us to firm up things like buy a home, retirement boost, help kids with college, cut back on work some, and still have a normal life since we're already debt free.

I live in a 1976 mobile home and have an equally crappy shed. No one would suspect there is $400 million stacked up in the shed, LOL.

We will now

One billion singles equal 44,144 cubic feet. A king mattress has an approximate volume of 42 cubic feet (using one foot as the height.) You would need over 1,040 mattresses to contain all the bills . Now, if you converted it all to hundreds, you could fit it all in only ten kings and a full - or just keep the overage as pocket money.

Meh. If they're not over a billion, they're not worth paying attention to.

That's why I waited until today to buy $20 worth of tickets. And no long line. I was the only person at the self-service machine at my local Wawa.

well, I'll find out in less than an hour if I won! Then I'll decide if I need to get up for work in the morning!

Now we are at $1.6 billion and $600 million. Oh, my.
