do you think it would, most people's biggest complaints are lack of money, no?

I've got money

It doesn't cure my MS. It doesnt end or reverse my early menopause. It pays for workarounds but at the end of the day, I still need either a cane or a walker for mobility. My dominant hand still has tremors. My leg still hurts constantly. I still get hot flashes. I still get unreasonably bitchy for no reason.

Having more changes none of this.

You specify a big powerball, so I am going to assume a take home amount of at least 200m.

I don't have to work anymore. Goodbye job that I hate.
I can afford to take classes that interest me and expand my education.
I can leave America before it becomes too radicalized.
I can get grs and ffs by top surgeons.
I can get a therapist to help my mental wellness.
I can get aides or take physical classes to help my physical health.
I can afford to travel and meet people I've only known online.
I can afford an accountant to watch my spending and invest my money.
I can hire lawyers to make sure my family gets some of the money without losing it all to taxes and fees.
I'm sure I would have other problems but, ya this would fix most of them.
I am awesome and so are you.

I don't really have any problems, at least one's that aren't currently being resolved.

If you count not being able to afford a house in my city as a problem, then yea the jackpot would solve that.

This. I don't really have money problems but money is always a problem with inflation so it'd help to have a huge nest egg.

But also if I won a billion dollar Powerball I'd spend most of it on my community to try to help homeless people with transitional housing and services.

it would solve all of my issues except 1

the basic peace of mind that you wouldn't ever have to worry about bills or a sudden unexpected financial hit alone would go a long, long way for majority of people

I'd basically just pay off all my debt and live reasonably without working and be able to actually travel. I can afford to live off $50 mil or so the next 30-50 years and give the rest away.

If I had that sort of cash Id probably end up giving away or spending on other people more than 490 million.

With a 2.32% APY in a savings for $50,000,000 you would receive roughly $92,000 a month in interest.

That'd be nice (and excessive) . I would get a financial advisor to help me figure out what's best for me but I'd def be giving most to my community causes.

I did! I graduated last year with my MLIS at a 3.9 GPA. I got one B the whole program lol I really wanted the 4.0 but that's okay.

My job is in an unrelated field. I just got the degree because I wanted to do the program to be honest. Having an AAS, BS, and MLIS help my resume but they didn't give me any extra knowledge or skills for my job I have now.

I do make really good money at my job for just me though.

Idk, I guess it would be nice, I would have to invest most of it.

The idea that the lottery ruins peoples lives is a total lie. By every metric people who win the lottery have their lives improved vastly. Medically, financially, socially, everything.

Yeah you have a lot of friends who hang around you because you have money. It's because you can afford to take them nice places instead of spending all your and their time slaving away.

I don't really have any problems at the moment, unless you want to get very small-scale, so... technically no?

I'd pay of my mortgage, but that's the only debt I'm carrying. Other than that and not having to work anymore, I can't see myself living a lot differently. I'm quite content with where I am in life.

It would. And then if I ever started dating I'd be 100% sure NOT to tell the lady. Don't need for her to start being greedy and asking why I don't pay for everything or buy her everything. My money not hers.

'yes'

but also make more problems, such is life.

It doesn't even need to be a powerball prize; just winning one of these many game shows would be sufficient (not Jeopardy though, those folks eat their grits).

That's mostly just the fact that "local guy wins lottery, declares bankruptcy within two years!" makes for an interesting headline, whereas "local guy wins lottery, sees life improve" does not. In practice, most lottery winners do indeed see overall improvements.
