    At those numbers it's time to circle the fellow workers and start a pool. We did. I wouldn't mind sharing 270 million a bunch of ways if pooling our tickets raises my chances of winning from .000000001% to .0000000015%

    Pretty sure I'd be able to get Jon & Rick back in Yes.

    If I were to win a Powerball jackpot, the absolute last thing I'd do is give any of it to Jon Anderson.

    I dunno, I think I'm w/ Obscured - probably the first endeavor is to buy my way into some bands reunions

    Definitely a private Union 2 with me choosing the setlist, and I'd work with Greg Walker to avenge Farfest and bring a bunch of Italian acts over

    The lottery should make a commercial based on this scenario

    I don't like country music, but I don't mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means 'put down.'- Bob Newhart

    Sure. I'm on-board with that. I'm just not giving any to Anderson.

    $485,000,000. Should cross the 1/2 $$Billion$$ mark by tomorrow's draw.
    First, gotta survive the heart attack. Then, we talk about resurrecting old bands & putting together new ones!

    I would purchase Yes.

    They're only sticking around for the money now anyway, so I'd bet it would only take a a few million each to Howe and Squire to get them to sign the name over to me and sail off on cruises where they just hang out and aren't part of the nightly entertainment. White would get a cut, out of the goodness of my heart. I would hand-deliver Downes his pink slip.

    This way nobody, ever again, would be allowed to make another album under the Yes name.

    Heck, maybe this has kickstarter campaign potential.

    No winner. Saturday's jackpot is now $675,000,000.
    Largest in U.S. history. Should get close to a billion by draw time.
