I've heard when you're in basic training, but you've just one the $20 million jackpot (or however much money it is), they'll actually honorably discharge you; don't know why...) If they were to reinstate the draft, and you won the jackpot, and shortly after your name was selected, would they exempt you?
(It'd be just my luck to win the lottery, and then a week later find out I'd been drafted, just as I was getting ready to enjoy the big life. :< )

There isn't going to be a draft and if you won the lottery as a servicemember they'd give you the option of deciding whether you wanted a discharge or if you wanted to stay. Think about Pat Tilman who left an NFL contract to serve and he had all kinds of money from while he played.

If your lottery win is substantial, you will probably be discharged. If you are a multi-millionairre in the military, you will be a target for kidnappers and extortionists. Your fellow soldiers will be safer if you are not there. They won't be caught in any crossfire action.

I"m guessing money got passed into the right hands. FYI, you won't win the lottery.

Sure, you CAN'T buy your way out of serving if there is a draft.

It depends on how much you give to the party in power.

HOW much money you have makes no difference. It is how much money you GIVE.
