I don’t play Lotto. This is aided by the fact that the Lottery doesn’t exist in Utah, and I ain’t gonna drive hours out of my way to go throw money away on something I won’t win. But, dayum, this is getting wacky enough that I’m sorely tempted to throw reason to the wind, peddle my butt to Wyoming and throw money I ain’t got at a cash register in a gas station.

Powerball jackpot might reach $1.3B after latest drawing sees no winners

If you took the winnings as a lump sum, the $1,300,000,000 would turn into roughly $650,000,000, and after taxes, probably something like $455,000,000. That’s…a  pretty good chunk of change. Step One would be to take a third of that and make my very own Star Wars movie. And then I’d be a billionaire. After that? Who knows. Maybe buy the Boeing Historical Archive, and spend my nights rolling around in the 8X10 glossies of aerospacecraft concept art.
