Ask HN: What would you do if you won a the billion dollar Powerball?
There have been a few threads discussing how the expected value of your $2 is less than $2 or how lottos are a tax on the poor/hopeful/bad at rationalizing probabilities. In each one people have brought up that $2 is really more of a social conversation piece or way to imagine what you would do with that money, which you will certainly not get. So, what would you do if you got hit by the lotto bus? Buy an island? Become the next big VC?
