that was basically my dad’s thought process, but even he was gonna stop around 100.
The marginal increase just doesn’t make it worth it after a while.
Plus, I live in a lower cost of living area than most here. So, I don’t need as much to survive.
I’ll take that over many other ways I can think of

Probably a maximum of 3. Maybe 4. Go on then 5.

Do I have to pay taxes on the money? If so then 0. Fuck the man.

I take one pill, and if I survive, I buy either a Freightliner Cascadia or a Volvo VNL, and a trailer. Probably just a dry van (that’s a kind of trailer), at least to start.
The rest (150k?) aside for business expenses.

There are wiser things to do with the money if the only goal is to make it make more money, but the point is I know the trucking business and I love the job
The interesting question is how big of a lottery win would I need in order to not buy a truck with it and be in business for myself

Like this is a horrible time to get into the trucking business, and there may never be a good time ever again.
But without a truck payment I could still live to a standard I like (though not necessarily ever owning a home), and it’s what I love to do. And I would do things like go see my parents 6-10 times a year instead of 0-2, because travel time doubles as work time and no longer has to be on an airplane

I get $500k tax free too right?

Zero. But I’m overly risk adverse. Ask me in 20 years and I probably take a few and am OK dying provided my wife is taken care of financially after I’m gone.

Do you have to specify how many you’re gonna eat ahead of time or do you eat one and then get to decide if you want another? Because a lot of people will say “oh I’ll just have one” and then if the eat it and live they’ll be “oh well one more couldn’t hurt”

not at any point in my life would i have been a 0 guy.
and it’s hard for me to put myself in the shoes of a 0 guy, even. 1 in 1,000 would be floating in my head as i fell asleep every night for the rest of my life.

i keep going back to that number generator trying to avoid #1000, i’m up to 125. what’s silly is i stopped bc now i don’t want to hit 1000, with nothing riding on it lol.
like if this was a big tv production and i knew even a couple days ahead of time, i’d just have a talk with my people. i’d have percentages that would go to each of them, give ‘em a halfway goodbye. then i might have to start eating some pills, especially if i don’t even realize it’s the death pill and just fall over, dead before i hit the floor.
worst for me would be if like that bowl of pills stays on the top of my fridge forever, ready for another $500k at any time. 
be real hard to ignore all that money forever hahaha

I played 100k SNGs and I can count on one hand the # of times I got beat by a one-outer. 1 in 50 is even better odds than that!
