"If you won \$1.8 billion… would you ever be heard from again?"That’s the question that launches this wildly entertaining episode of The Ben and Skin Show, recorded live from Pluckers on Lovers & Greenville. Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray dive deep into the madness of the \$1.8 billion Powerball jackpot, and things quickly spiral into hilarious hypotheticals, financial debates, and a full-blown plan for KT’s disappearance.From lottery strategy and cursed numbers to assistant chains and Afghan condos, this episode is a masterclass in comedy, chaos, and camaraderie.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Oh yes, it is the Ben and Skin Show ninety
seven point one the Eagle.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Oh Kat's clapping. Oh, let's everybody clap right. This is
the last segment out here at Pluckers for the Ben
and Skin Show for today. But don't forget.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
We'll be at a different Pluckers every other Friday all
throughout the football season. I can't wait to make it
back out to this one because this is my favorite.
But we got a lot that we're going to be
going to anyways. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend if
you could make it out to Pluckers today, hit it
up anytime this weekend at any of the Metroplex locations.

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Always a great place to.

Speaker 3 (00:35):
Watch the game.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
But right now it's time for this.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yep, this thing's big. It's big. It's a little longer segment,
how about that. I normally don't like doing segments like
this because they've been done a million times, I think.
But Powerball is all the rage right now because the uh,

(00:59):
the purse is up one point eight billion dollars. If
you can just buy the ticket and come up with
the right numbers, you could be a winner.

Speaker 1 (01:07):
That's not a good copy point, do you guys know
what the take home cash is?

Speaker 2 (01:11):
Do you have it in your in your story?

Speaker 3 (01:13):
It's in there somewhere.

Speaker 4 (01:14):
Hold on, I'm curious. There's a bunch of these things,
So what is this one? This is like six different states.
I think it's more all the states everything fifty states.

Speaker 1 (01:24):
I don't think it's all fifty, but it's a chunk
of It's a bunch.

Speaker 2 (01:27):
I don't know how many.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
How many states do the power ball, So that's a
good thing about googling.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
You can just kind of find out and then just
get whatever.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
In forty five Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada, and Utah are
holding out those prudes.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
Well, I don't go to Alaska anymore.

Speaker 3 (01:43):
But this one's one in two two hundred and ninety
two million odds, So you got a pretty good chance
if you.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
So you do whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:52):
You do the cash value option, right, which means you
get all of it, but you only get half of it.
You know, it's not spread out over twenty years. It's like,
here's half of it, bam. And then you pay taxes,
which I think that's going to put you in the
tax bracket of a thirty eight percent tax bracket. So
if you win by yourself after taxes, they're handing you

(02:14):
about five hundred and sixty million dollars if you win
by yourself.

Speaker 4 (02:19):
If you win one point eight billion by yourself, yes,
you get how.

Speaker 2 (02:22):
Much five hundred and sixty million?

Speaker 4 (02:25):
How is that possible?

Speaker 1 (02:27):
So you get half of it, because you can take
the full one point eight billion, but they'll give it
to you over twenty years, okay. Or if you want
all your money now, they'll give you all your money now,
and then that immediately puts you in the highest tax bracket,
so you're going to have to give thirty eight percent
of that to the government, So that leaves you walking
away with about.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
Five hundred and sixty million.

Speaker 3 (02:48):
Mark Cuban's financial advice on this is to not take
it all at once as well. Now that you're I mean,
I kind of want to think I want to get
advice from someone who's kind of in my tax brad
it because I know, yeah, of course that's what you
would do as not.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
Say, right, I think there, I don't know what the
number is, but there is a number. You're gonna take
it all up front until you get to a certain number,
and I think probably once you're in the neighborhood of
one point eight billion, it probably makes sense to just
get it over twenty years. But if let's say you're
let's say that the lottery was one hundred million, Okay,
they're gonna advise you to take it all right now,

(03:26):
because then that's putting you're gonna get fifty million, and
then that tax bracket's gonna mean you're gonna walk away
with like thirty million. So having thirty million dollars right
now puts you in if you have any business wherewithal
it all, you're gonna want that money because you're gonna
be able to start building things, doing business, investing all
of that stuff.

Speaker 2 (03:46):
In a way that's just different.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
I put it all in crypto.

Speaker 4 (03:49):
It's just okay, So what is the how do you
play power Ball?

Speaker 3 (03:54):
You just pick some numbers.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
Yeah, it's like all the others, but it's.

Speaker 4 (03:57):
Five, but it in it it's six numbers.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
It's on the power the power ball, So why why
is that different?

Speaker 3 (04:06):
It's like the bonus pick.

Speaker 2 (04:08):
So is it go to a higher total?

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Does it go to a.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Like one of sixty? Do you have sixty numbers to pick?

Speaker 3 (04:13):
I think it's sixty something like that.

Speaker 2 (04:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
I mean all I ever do is I do the
quick Okay, I never think through you have.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
Five white ball numbers, choose five different numbers between one
and sixty nine, and then one red power ball number
between one and twenty six.

Speaker 3 (04:29):
I can tell you this. There's a whole like analysis
that's happened from powerball drawings over the last ten years. Yeah, okay,
And one of them is the number that's most likely
to come up is the number sixty one. Now you
can game theory this thing and be like, I'm not
doing Roger Maris, I'm not doing sixty one here because
it's the most like it's happened the most, it's out

(04:50):
of its system, So I'm not gonna do that one.
The first five numbers, like as you said, one of
sixty nine, sixty one has been drawn the most one
hundred and fifteen times over the ten year span that
they've been trying this credit. The five most commonly drawn
numbers are sixty one, Roger Morrison, twenty one, Dion twenty three,

(05:10):
Michael Jordan who was at the game last night, thirty three,
Scottie Pippen's and sixty nine.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Did you laugh because that immediately makes you an offensive line.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Sixty nine mean everyone's been making that jokes in my
entire existence. What does it mean?

Speaker 2 (05:27):
What about the power ball explicitly?

Speaker 3 (05:30):
What does it mean? Okay? The number that's least likely
to be drawn is thirteen.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
I always picked that number.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
The five most least likely numbers to which I would say,
are now most they're they're due thirteen, which, hey my
baseball number in high school.

Speaker 4 (05:46):
Oh, I like this, want to hear more about that
season you had forty nine.

Speaker 3 (05:50):
I couldn't do it. I hate the forty nine ers, twenty.

Speaker 2 (05:53):
Six, terrible number.

Speaker 3 (05:54):
Michael downs forty six and sixty five.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
Those are the worst football numbers.

Speaker 3 (06:01):
Now. The number that's most overdue it has not been
drawn since April of this year, is the number twenty six.
That's my power So maybe add that to youer list.
That's well, power ball only goes up to say.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
We're reporting on your report.

Speaker 3 (06:16):
When it comes to the powerball number, the most likely
numbered hit is four, Dak Prescott, Joey Hard. The three
most common power balls are four, twenty one, and twenty four.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
Incredible.

Speaker 3 (06:29):
The least likely powerball number is sixteen.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
That's a horrible okay, but dot plur Is that who
that is? Yes, Steve Plure. But do you Here's what
I think.

Speaker 4 (06:39):
If you choose your own numbers, that could be fake
because you may have these numbers that have been stuck
with you over time.

Speaker 2 (06:46):
It's stuck in.

Speaker 4 (06:46):
Your head and you know what, it may be the
ghost of your future self coming back to try to
tell you not to be an idiot and to pick
these numbers, or a relative who's passed away, or some
sort of mystical magic where you need to pick these numbers.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Well, that's just got. If you go with just.

Speaker 4 (07:02):
Randomly selected numbers, that two could be fate intervening. Right,
So which way do you think? Is you know, your
mama trying to hook you up?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
There's a fork in the road, man.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
You can go this way or you can go that way,
and that's the decision you have to.

Speaker 4 (07:17):
Ma, well, both ways, but which is more likely to win?

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, you could buy one of each.

Speaker 3 (07:21):
I think you should go right through that fork. Oh yeah, yeah, Okay.
Now here's the problem with the reporting on all of this,
not my reporting, because every Powerball winner is immediately in danger. No, yeah,
we never find out were they solo act, what type
of convenience store. Did you get it at did you

(07:41):
do it through a currierro? Did you go lump some
with a bunch of friends at a company? We never
learn what happened?

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Did you immediately get kidnapped by South Americans? If you
just have a little bit of copper wire, you're in danger?
That's true, much less four and eighty dollars. I would
buy four hundred and eighty four million dollars dollars of
copper wire the second I got my O on that guy, right.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Uh So, I don't know. I would love to know, though,
because there you know, there's office pools like, oh yeah,
we're gonna go all in this weekend. It's want to
throw ten dollars in And I'm like, okay, we're gonna
all divide this up. Who's going to be responsible for that?
Do you trust your coworkers?

Speaker 4 (08:17):
I let those people sue each other all the time.

Speaker 2 (08:20):
I would trust we I think he would do.

Speaker 3 (08:22):
So what would you do? I know it's been discussed
many times. Though you get the money, that's it's I
mean generational wealth. Huh will you be heard from ever again?
I would not like, I love you guys, but.

Speaker 4 (08:37):
Wait, you would never see me in skin again. Now, okay,
so let's say you get.

Speaker 3 (08:40):
Out of town before people start asking for me.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
Will you would we get a partying gift?

Speaker 4 (08:44):
Oh?

Speaker 2 (08:44):
Yeah, you get it? Yeah? Okay?

Speaker 4 (08:45):
So what what sort of a gift is required for
the people you're closest to?

Speaker 1 (08:50):
I would hook each one of you guys up with
one hundred thousand dollars, no questions.

Speaker 2 (08:53):
I would treat you guys.

Speaker 4 (08:55):
I would treat you guys like cowboys.

Speaker 2 (08:57):
Offensive lineman. I just buy you all like a Louis
Vuitton bag.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
Oh man, Ben was great to work with. He won
the lottery. He gave us his Louis Bauton bag. That's badass, man,
I don't think these are real. Honey, Ben got us
a Louis Baton bag. Okay, here's a golf card I
can't really use.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Okay, what about he bought din Mark? What am I
going to do with it?

Speaker 3 (09:21):
Is the drawing Saturday Saturday Night?

Speaker 4 (09:23):
Okay, so if you win Saturday Night, we'll probably never
talk to you ever again. But will we be able
to get contact with you through assistance? H we have
a series of a subcommittee of a committee.

Speaker 2 (09:35):
You know it'll be crazy.

Speaker 1 (09:36):
Is some assistance immediately when he gets rid of his wife, Roxy,
she'll be hanging out with us and she'll be like.

Speaker 4 (09:42):
Whatever happened to my husband, Kevin. So let's let's let's enact.
Let's react this thing. Okay, So, Kat, I'm your assistant,
Come to you, mister Turner. Uh, there's two guys on
the phone that want to talk to you. They are
saying their names are Ben and Skin. Would you like
me to put that call through?

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Uh? Can I talk to the other assistant's you'd have to.
There'd be a chain of ten assistants. It would be
worse than any call center you've ever mister Turner.

Speaker 2 (10:09):
I hate to bother you. I think they're your gay dads.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
I'm literally trying to squeeze eighteen on a golf course
you bought at the top of the island mountain course
better than an island course, dude. If you would agree, if.

Speaker 2 (10:25):
You win, yeah, oh I would agree with that. And
I play your mountain course.

Speaker 3 (10:28):
And I will see.

Speaker 2 (10:29):
I'm kind of sad that you won't take our call.
Oh my god, No, you would not even taken our
You would worry about it. You would have enough money to
ever have to work again. Oh really, what how much
are you hooking us up with?

Speaker 1 (10:38):
I mean, how much do you If you walk with
five hundred and fifty eight million cash five and fifty
eight million, you guys are easily get a million.

Speaker 4 (10:45):
That's great, only a million.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
I'd take a million.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
It must not be greedy.

Speaker 2 (10:48):
Get rid of it. A million dollars to get rid
of kt.

Speaker 3 (10:52):
That would be very generous. You do it, You would
get out of town fast because people will start asking
for money like it would be insane.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
I would immediately move to Afghanistan.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
Right there.

Speaker 2 (11:06):
No one would be looking for me there.

Speaker 1 (11:08):
That's a terrible I would buy me a nice condo downtown.

Speaker 2 (11:13):
I don't even know any cities.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Go back to two thousand and four. You can hit out.

Speaker 2 (11:19):
