What would you do?
The people that hate you, don't know you. They dislike the funhouse mirror image they have of you.

The first thing I would do is max a few credit cards at Japan Tackle. I would then buy tickets/reservations to follow the Milwaukee Brewers around for a long road trip.

I would keep a small portion, which is still a ton of money. I'd buy a summer home around Charlevoix, MI, I love it up there. I would not buy a boat, I'd do exactly what I'm doing now, a member of a boat club, let them have the headaches.
I would not keep more than 10 mil or so, I would never spend that. My children would have security but not so much as to remove their incentive to be productive in their careers. I'd set up up charitable endowments for causes I think that are worthy, Special Olympics would be first on the list. Plenty left over for me to see the world, I'd do quite a bit of traveling.

It's all moot as I have no ticket.

New house
New boat
New truck
Go places

Buy a place in Texas for Winter. I don't think I really could leave MI. for good. My wife's family is up here and she can't be too far away from them for a long period of time. Plus I'm addicted to smallmouth fishing and all the beautiful lakes and scenery here.

The rest of the money I would invest.


We didn't win last night(we were up to almost 700 million). Then again we rarely play and usually only spend $5 when we do.

Buy a conservatively sized house. Pay off my debts, and my families debts. Put the rest into my charities, and bank the rest for retirement. Go about working my job and living my life the way I do. Honestly I would go insane if I couldn't do electric work anymore. And I'm not talking about running the company. I'm 28 years old and would sooner die then sit behind a desk right now. Really and in truely I would just as soon be debt free and carry on with what I'm doing. I love my life and way things have worked out too much to change much of anything.

1. I'd have bought a small mom n pop fishing resort in the south that doesn't get hit by tornadoes on an annual basis. The elderly, handicapped, and U.S. Armed Forces stay for free.
2. I'd also hire a shampoo girl to wash my hair a couple times a day. I don't know about you guys, but I find getting my hair washed when I get my haircut is one of the most relaxing, stress relieving feelings one could experience.

Oh well. Back to the grindstone.

Not much different than I do right now to be honest. It'd be cool, but like my man BIG said, More money, more problems.
