Its still fun to dream and ponder...

Build an awesome hanger with house attached.

Redo my Baron to look new, including avionics..

No idea what else as there would be no mission. Guess TBM930/PC-12 would be nice



Honestly would do nothing for a time, to figure out what I would really do.....

So at 1.6B if I buy 302.5 million tickets odds are I'll make 1.3B? :scratch:

Any chance statistics take a beating and I'm down 302.5 million?


This has actually been done by a team out of Australia, there's a documentary about it.

I saw in USA Today that even if you bought all conceivable combinations of lines of numbers, it would cost about 600 million and not guarantee that you would be the sole winner of the whole pot. One or two lucky guesses getting all numbers would dilute the pot, plus the factor of others buying large blocks of numbers.
