If I win, I am buying the Ducks. First game as owner the lights go down, green malathion gas rolls in the ducks fans flee and the new team is introduces the Anaheim Medflies. Oh the horror.

Interesting....I'd buy the Ducks, and move them to either Seattle or Quebec. Hell, I might even move them to Kansas City!Quote:

For anyone who has to deal with friends/family/coworkers telling them playing the lotto is stupid, here's a fun fact: You are getting roughly 2-to-1 on your money to play the lotto this Friday.
Odds of winning: 176 million to 1
Payout (after tax) for winning: 360 million to 1
That is a fantastic value. On a smaller scale, it would be like someone letting you bet $1 to win $2 on a fair coin flip or bet $1 to win $12 on a fair dice roll. Regardless of whether you won that bet or not, you'd be a damn fool to pass it up with the odds tilted in your favor.
Remarkably, same goes for Friday's lotto.
you also need to factor in how many total "plays" there are and the potential of the grand prize being split. because there will be a lot more people playing now that the size of the prize is much bigger.
Don't forget to also have a squadron of choppers dumping that red crap that ruins car paint make a few passes (or 100) over the parking lot.Quote:

I like it. Then I sell the team to a group in KC and after the move, open up an AHL affiliate for the Kings.Quote:

True, which is why I said it was "roughly" 2-to-1. Considering the odds are 176 million-to-1 of hitting, the odds are extremely low of a split pot. "A lot more people" are just drops in the ocean with this stupid new astronomical even more impossible than it used to be lotto.Quote:
