In ND-“Listen Bob, If I WIN The Powerball I only Get 350 Million”

Some people always have to complain, right?

Some people have dreamt about winning the BIG ONE. They have their plans all lined up: buy a new car, maybe go on a trip around the world, and then move into their new mansion, a four-car garage, and 4 Camaros inside. Ahh, the standard question, "What would you do if you WON the lottery?"

Ok, so, "What would you do if you WON 950 MILLION dollars?"

Let's see, you could buy the Minnesota Vikings and move them out here to Bismarck or Mandan. How about ordering pizza from Bruno's Pizza EVERY night ( remember now, for all you people who didn't WIN the lottery, if you mention the promo code TSM when you order with them, you'll get 30% off ) - There is one thing that I hate to bring up, not to be a downer or anything.

"Wait a minute, what exactly are you saying????"

First of course, the GOOD news, you just WON the Powerball Lottery ( this Saturday )...According to cbsnews.com "The Powerball jackpot is approaching the $1 billion mark for Saturday night's drawing. It's at an estimated $950 million after no tickets came up winners for Wednesday night's jackpot of roughly $850 million — the game's sixth-largest ever at the time."  AWESOME.

Ready for the BAD news? 

"By the time federal and state taxes are applied, if you choose the lump sum payout—the option most winners prefer— your take-home on $850 million shrinks to roughly $242 million (depending on the state you live in, etc.)" forbes.com reported.

Ok, stop moping around

That's still a BOAT LOAD of money, don't you think? Good luck, everyone!
