Although I consider myself a gambler, I rarely play the lottery. However, with the Power Ball jacpot in the $500 million neighborhood I decided to waste $2. I was asked what I'd do with the money if I won and when I answered that I hadn't thought about it the clerk looked at me like I was from another plannet.

I still haven't thought about it, but I was wondering what YOU would do if you won?

I don't play the lotto, but if I did. Then won 500mil. No one would ever see me again. Friends or family.

Then I hope you win

My wife and I spoke of this, although we don't play.

10% to our church.

Set aside enough for any education our 2 daughters could ask for.

Pay all family debt off. No more, no less.

Build our house (modest, not a multi-million home)

New vehicles, new boat.

Savings account the rest and keep working like nothing ever happened.

I would donate it all to Apple.  I've heard they are having trouble financially, and I really like their iPhones.

I would hire a shampoo girl to shampoo my hair every day.

All of my immediate family would be taken care of and after that, it is all gravy....

Y'all don't have to worry about it, because I have the winning ticket. Not you!

Then I hope you win

Not so fast slone. I would buy the house to your left. I would buy Raider the house to your right, Redline would be behind you. Clayton would be right in front of you.

I would buy the titanic and take you all fishing on Lake Erie.

Nice Guy ~ Just drop me off on that Iceberg . . . .

Buy a casino and hire Indians to run it while I fish on Erie with Dwight and the rest of you guys..

Yes bought my tickets at 7:45p

And we'd knock down all the fences.  Form a compound.  Build a fence around the whole place and hire guys dressed as pirates to patrol the property.  At least one would have a peg leg.  And an eye patch.

Make sure it's Shamus

 

I figured these guys would work better.

We then could hand Raider one of these. Since I think he all ready has the required paper work to own full auto.

Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right, here I am stuck in the middle....

Is that ICP in the pic? GWAR? Another day at the Raider Retreat?

Pretty much same here. Tithe 10%, spend 10% and save 80%.

Well no winning ticket, yet again..

Moot point as I haven't bought a ticket, if I do in the future and WON, this is what I'd do.

 

I certainly don't need that sum of money to secure my future, even 10 million is way more than I would need.  My family would benefit but not to the degree to alter their work ethic or their goals.  I'd start a business to employ people, I would not take a salary.  The remaining couple of hundred million would be donated to special olympics and closely related organizations.

My lifestyle would change, I'd be involved in these activities and fish a lot less.

With great wealth comes great responsibility.

Agreed!

 

I can't imagine me winning because I don't play. 

 

Of course if I did win, I guess I could take care of all the shirt-tail relatives that crawled out of the woodwork, and then the rest I could use to sponsor tons of high school kids in their dreams of fishing so they don't have to work!

Well not old enough yet but one day..

First I would buy about 500 acres of land build a pretty big house on it.

Next I would build a 50 acre private lake on this land for hunting and fishing.

Third I would take care of my family probably spend 500k on each person.

Then I would make a bait company, this would hopefully grow to be the next strike king except I wont make half the lures suck.

Then I would buy a bunch of toys like trucks 4 wheelers boat all that good stuff.

And then live the rest of my life fishing and hunting.

Half of SK's lures suck?

I would give the 500 million to the government to pay off .000027% of our nations debt...

No worries there my friend - they'd take the majority of it any way ~ they call it taxes.
