A. I'm being forced by my bank to insure the plane.


Most people would pay off the loan if they hit the lottery big enough. I would
certainly drop the hull coverage if I won. I would get the best liability package
I could find, though.

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

What would you do if you won the Lotto???


A more interesting question might be: How many pilots actually play the
lottery?

I, for one, look at it as a tax on stupidity.

Tell that to my cousin...

Your stupidity tax sure paid off for her and her family...

You can do it for me, if you please?

Tell her that she's living high off the stupidity of millions of others.

But I'm sure that she is thankful of the stupidity of the millions of
others. They are paying for college for her 3 kids, paid off all of their
bills and gave them an opportunity to make some really good investments...

Now if she would just loan me some money...

They way I see it, what is the difference in me spending $3 or $4 a month on
lottery tickets, or going to Vegas and blowing several thousand dollars in
the casino's?

I think I will buy a few tickets in a months time... A couple of dollars
isn't going to break me, and... you never know...

Lol - I personally know a family which was once very close - until the
grandparents won the lottery. It ended up really ruining things for them -
there was much bickering about "fairness" and the grandparents really became
paranoid about who was being sincere and just trying to get on their good
side for the money. It wasn't a pretty sight.

She bought a scratch off in Texas and won an instant million.

She and her hubby were smart though. Paid for kids college, paid off all of
their bills and invested the rest. Didn't blow any of it from what I have
seen...

It's not the $50 million jackpot, but hey, I'd settle for a measly million!

I join any office pool at a rate at least as high as anyone else. I don't
look at is as buying a lottery ticket, just insurance against being the only
person in the office not to win.

That, in fact, is what I call it on the occasions when I buy a
ticket. "I need to pay my stupidity tax."

I'd probably start off buying a nice little air-taxi company. This way all
this aviation stuff might actually pay me back! Plus I might actually be
able to keep some of the money that I won...

Then I would use the taxis in their downtime for training and fun..

Ahhhh. A dollar and a dream!

@attbi_s01:

The multi-state PowerBall lottery is going to be over $200 million
Wednesday. This thread has been done on here before...

What would you do if you won the Lotto???
Upgrade your plane?
Get a newer/bigger/better plane? Get a fleet?
Get AMEL/ASES/ Instrument and/or Commercial ratings?

I'll wait until I win to decide... ;-)
