buy or sell

(guess this would go here)?

With the Powerball now structured to get to
jackpots ("triple figures" 100 +million )more easily..
prior to taxes the jackpot is nearly quarter of a billion dollars !!!!!!

(yes there are the taxes, lol) and one may argue splitting the jackpot
among multiple winners, but no indications of increased players,
just the entry level cost ( ante up! ) to increase the jackpot.

(Quick sidenote: My dad is gone now, but explained to me when I was a kid) the odds
would be the same if they gave away a dollar . . .only difference you
wouldnt have as many people having an interest), lol... soo very possible
to have single-party winners for insane jackpots...

anyways -
>with Jackpots a few times a month, (after taxes) being paid out
with a lump sum, in excess of 100-million (PLUS) . . .I thought I would
propose the inquiry - If someone, beat the odds (would DEF. need a WINNING
powerBall ticket)_lol -

and wanted to "invest" buy a cluster, what markets/areas
would be a sale before the ink dried, and what would be complete waste aLot of time
negotiating prices/which stations to only never reach an agreement...
(and just for fun) what would be the estimated asking price...
[? think: they would split up a cluster]

(I know money talks) if You want to overpay, SOMEone will take you up
on the offer ..maybe some one can answer where is the ceiling on what
would be "too much" ( for the respective market),

-just curious.
and [no]didnt win the [p]' Ball...........yet!!! LOL

will start w/ my home market: Buffalo-Niagara Falls...
(commentary) Believes not much is selling here. established FM operations
among the three or four owners/clusters in town.

However on the AM side, more local owners, and while they *say* NO (on the record) : and here to stay, if a an offer ranged was multi-milions ( say 2.0 -to higher end: 4.5) think the
local-owners would definately reConsider!

other thoughts: would it better to "lease"/LMA (etc) in stead..would that work out bettter?
all thoughts / input / commnetary, and every thing else, let me hear ya!

one final topic:
how likely would a Cluster be in favor of splittig it up (w/in one market) , selling ONE
station ( maybe the under-performing station) to a potential buyer ?
 
Since the current jackpot is 125 million, (LOL)
would also buy a small-to mid size city's
(minor league) sports franchise
and create one of the stations acquired
(in above dream scenario) and be my own
official flagship station!!
