The Mega Millions jackpot buys a lot of domains.
In a few minutes, the craze about the much publicized Mega Millions jackpot of $640 million will hopefully end, with a winner of this astounding amount of cash.
Since the cash option will be a payout of $462 million, after a 25% tax haircut the lucky winner will be left with approximately $346 million dollars.
Francois Carrillo of Domaining.com lists the Top 500 Domain Sales ever recorded (or disclosed).
The total amount of those 500 domain sales is $314,082,908.
In other words, if you win the Mega Millions jackpot you can – in theory – buy the top 500 domains ever sold back again, and spare some change for domain development 😀
The Mega Millions Quick Pick guy needs an ass whooping…he sucks at picking numbers!!!
What would be the first ten domains you would buy if you won? Thats the true question…
Anunt – Did you not win?
I couldn’t resist. I figure even if I don’t get all the numbers right. If I can just get a few number, I’ll make good money since the payout is so much.
This afternoon, I stop by a 7-11, and got myself $6 quick pick. It gave me a total of 36 numbers, and I only manage to get 1 number correct. Next time, I play…I am going to pick my own numbers…that way I can ensure every number is unique. 🙂
My lucky number is 38!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor Uncle – You’re still a winner for reading DomainGang 😀
