And for the winner you could buy this....
"Playboy Enterprises has listed the iconic Playboy Mansion for $200 million. But there's a catch, Hugh Hefner will remain a resident."

I have clients worth way more then the power ball pot and their kids play outside and walk to school. Most do have a plan in place for a home invasion and worry more about that then their kids getting picked up while walking the streets.

The issue is if their name and amount they have is sensationalized all over the media, though.

You should at least gamble enough to increase your odds. Most people don't bet $140k...

A set up for whom?

thats a set up

[svauto-erotic855]

yup, mercedes lane in lakewood is another

That is very close to me. Who lives there that warrants that level of security?

Dubya in Preston.

I actually learned of that when i installed some toilets in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenny_Troutt "son's gymnasium." It is in that same neighborhood. That's the large structure at the top left. It was a full size bball court with two 90" flat screens on each end. The land at the bottom was the old neighbors house, who he bought, just to bulldoze it.

i can name a few upscale neighborhoods around here that have 24/7 FBI surveillance for the entire block, just because of one resident.

What is to stop people from snatching kids from families that have more than that?

This. I'd be afraid of winning this kind of money. Every day would be a nervous fucking wreck. You'd have to go into hiding for months just to get your shit in order so you can literally "disappear". I can't begin to imagine the mind fuck that would come along with that kind of money. I mean seriously, what would the plan be? A normal life after winning wouldn't be possible for you, your kids or any immediate family.

Bail out el Chapo...thats all the protection you need.

Google "qualified investor" - it isn't an arbitrary term.

I'm en route from Vegas to California, at state line the lottery lines were hundreds of people deep and I heard people saying 3-4 hour waits.

apparently, I dont have the required measures of sophistication

I'll go ahead and copy/paste:



You are an accredited investor if:

You have an individual net worth, or you and your spouse have a combined net worth, in excess of $1 million.

You had individual income, excluding any income attributable to your spouse, of more than $200,000 in the previous two years, and you reasonably expect to do the same this calendar year.

You and your spouse had joint income of more than $300,000 in the previous two years and reasonably expect to do the same in this calendar year. Institutions and pension accounts are subject to more complex criteria, and should consult an accountant.

You are a qualified client if:

You have an individual net worth, or you and your spouse have a combined net worth of $1.5 million

You have at least $750,000 in assets under management

Generally, a hedge fund manager would much rather solicit to a qualified client than an accredited investor. Why? Because managers may only charge their 20% performance fee to qualified clients. While an accredited investor may still invest in the fund, they will only be charged a 2% management fee.
