Mega Millions
As of this writing, the Mega Millions jackpot for Friday March 30 is $640 million. The amount is for people who choose the annuity option and are somehow able to get out of paying income tax. I don’t normally play the lottery (though I play $500/week in scratch-off tickets because I want to help the schools), but this money could pay for a lot of presidential ad time. A whole lot of presidential ad time.
I chose the cash option. The jackpot for the cash option is $462 million. After paying $161,700,000 in income tax, that will still leave $300,300,000 to play with. Some people will say the winner should pay more in income tax. However, I could see that someone who cut a check to the IRS for $161,700,000 say that he or she paid one’s fair share in taxes.
Not all of my money will go towards my campaign. I would spend $200,000 for a house and $20,000 for a new car. I would put aside $5 million so I can retire. I would rent out a hotel in Las Vegas for the ultimate “Orgies for Abstinence” scheduled for two weeks from today.
I wish everybody playing Mega Millions tonight the best of luck. Remember if you win that I am not accepting money for my campaign, but I would be unable to stop you for creating a SuperPAC that supports my campaign.

About
Ahmnodt Heare is a fictional character running a real campaign. He is an Independent candidate for President of the United States. His views on solving America’s problems is different than the ideas being offered by any Republican or Democratic candidate.
In the upcoming days, he will give a daily account of his political activities, campaigns, and other behind the scene activities like no other candidate ever has.
The purpose of this blog is to showing the absurdity of Ahmnodt Heare’s platform and show that the two major parties are equally absurd (especially at the federal level.)
If you are fed up with the two-party duopoly, then feel free to write in “Ahmnodt Heare” for the office of your choosing.
On Election Day, tell your fellow Americans, “Ahmnodt Heare!”
Ahmnodt Heare for America. Ahmnodt Heare for You.
So, if i win you don’t want that $10 Million i had earmarked for your campaign? And, what kind of cheap ass car would you get for just 20K? A Ford Fiesta? Come on, at least buy a corvette!
I have to keep my fiances simple. Nudie bars aren’t cheap.
The $10 million you have earmarked could go towards starting a SuperPAC. FEC rules prohibit me from having any say in what the SuperPAC does.
I wasn’t interested in the Mega Millions because I couldn’t think of anything I needed half a billion for, but I never even considered using it to fund a presidential campaign.
