ok.............a BILLION DOLLARS

think of the tax on that bad boy (US pays tax on winnings)


but................pay attention to the "official rules":

"Billion Dollar Prize, if won, paid over 40 years with balloon payment in final year."



What the hell is that ........guess only really young people can win this contest huh ....I mean that's one big payment in the 40th year

 

[kickserv]

I wonder if the 39 payments are for 1 dollar each, and then the rest on the 40th payment

 

[kickserv]

a billion dollars..I mean 1 billion

 

[kickserv]

If your one of the final contestants the odds are 200,000 to 1 that you willw in the Billion dollars, as rediculous as it sounds I thought the odds would be worse. They do not guarantee to give away the billion dollar prize and it looks doubtful anyone will win it against those odds.

guess that's why PEPSI came up with that 40 year payment plan :tongue

40th year would be one hell of a cheque

They actually have insurance against it with Warren Buffet who oddly enough is one of the largest stock holders in Coke.
