$300 million USD? Hmm...

[bjarvis]

The Powerball lottery jackpot is now up to $300 million USD. I've got a few places I could put that kinda change... paying off the mortgage, learning to fly, perhaps some travel to Canada and Britain, remodelling of our basement and the main floor bathroom...

EDIT: That's about $346 million CDN. I only mention this because surely my mother has probably already done the calculation in her head and would be preparing to spend $347 million. :-^

My class measure of "How rich would I want to be ...?" has alwahys been, "Wealthy enough to be able to fly first-class anywhere and any time that I want."

With $300M, you could buy an entire leather store. ;)

Wow. Mine too. (Well, I don't know about "always", but that's certainly what it is now.)

I've never flown first class before but I'd like to before I die and/or every airline declares bankruptcy, whichever comes first.

It, like many many other things, isn't what it used to be.
