okay so the powerball drawing is at 365 million dollars... obviously that would be enough to cover the arena... but here is my question to all you bankers/intelligent ppl that can think about this without getting a headache...
say for instance somebody on this board would hit the powerball and nobody else hit the 6 digits, so all the money would be his/her... perhaps this person would be a diehard pittsburgh penguins fan, and more importantly read this post on letsgopens.com... and got a crazy idea from some crazy guy doped up on cold pills!
would this money along with loans/bonds be enough to buy the penguins and build an arena... im guessing not both... but then again... with bonds and such anything is really reasonable correct?
talk amongst yourselfs!
and ppl play the freakin power ball already! 8)

While you're at it, see if you can get Rooney to let Hines to lace up the skates. I have a feeling if he can skate, he'd be a heckuva hockey player.

I wonder who will be the 1st hockey player, secure enough to wear diamonds...in his ears.

Re: thought about the powerball drawing
The $365 is the annuity value. I haven't looked, but the cash value would probably be around 60% of that, and then you pay taxes...And no, I wouldn't buy the Penguins a new arena, I may buy the Penguins, though...fourtKNOX wrote:okay so the powerball drawing is at 365 million dollars... obviously that would be enough to cover the arena... but here is my question to all you bankers/intelligent ppl that can think about this without getting a headache...

We usually figure about 40% off the top for taxws ..
Annuity $365 million -- $219 million after tax
Cash $177.3 miliion -- $106.4 million after tax
Not enough to buy a hockey team & build an arena !!!
I would like to design & own a nice luxury box in the new arena for me & couple hundred of my close friends !!!
The LGP luxury suite !!! 8)

I'd surely throw down some cash on buying part of the Pens and a down payment on the arena.
I'd also buy luxury boxes at Heinz and the Pete for Pitt games, at PNC, at Blair County Ballpark (Altoona Curve) and try to get Saint Francis to start baseball and hockey teams.
Pitt-SFU showdowns for the Tinnick Trophy!
And concubines. Don't forget the concubines.
