..I almost never do this, but since it's actually worth the investment this time, I figured what the hay.. [;)]

I was wondering what it would do to my bottle hobby if I won.. would I keep collecting or lose interest? Part of what makes collecting so enjoyable to me is the competition.. I'm striving to put together a great Jersey shore collection together with a rather meager budget. I think if I had half a bil at my disposal, it just would be too easy.. it would be unfair.. yeah I'd love to be financially secure, of course, but what will become of my poor sick blobs? Would I still care? Anyone else thought of this?

I would buy out the GURU and have a room dedicated to all things Paterson Bottling in my new mansion, full time Hottie in a French Maids outfit to dust them daily, all overlooking the ocean...

I would buy some ridiculously sweet and expensive figural bitters and a few dozen other bottles that looked cool. As far as my local collecting, the cash wouldn't help me a stinking bit. I own at least one of everything that is known among early Lewistown sodas, beers and medicines.

As far as a house, I'd stay where I'm at- I love my house and property. Its full restoration would happen a lot faster with all the surplus cash, though. Both of my mortgage notes would quickly be reduced to ashes, by way of a personal visit to the bankster with a 55-gallon drum full of $1 bills, just for fun [8D] ~Jim

Are you kidding Chuck? I would have so much more free time to find stuff!

I wasted $10. [:'(] I don't normally play, only when it gets real big. Odd numbers though, nothing in the 30s, 40s or 50s? Ya never know... Next drawing will be huge as well.

PD

Six bucks for me. I didn't hit a single number or the powerball (in bascially 18 numbers). That's gotta be just as hard as matching all of them.[:)]
