What? There's no "what would you do will 1billion dollars" thread?

Yes, I realize the odds of me being elected president, getting two hole in ones during a golf game and being able learn 12 new languages is higher than winning the lottery jackpot tonight, but I'm still buying 2 sets of numbers. One set I pick and one auto picked.

In Ohio, after federal and state income tax I'd end up with ballpark $355,000,000.00. That would buy a nice used Gulfstream G450 and allow for operational costs. There would be a ranch in both Texas hill country and western Wyoming in our immediate future. Airstrips and shooting ranges with climate controlled shooting positions and modestly large homes would be built at both locations while the family and I are seeing the world.

Not to mention a Cord King firewood processor. Yes, I'd still heat my primary home with firewood.

 

The Earth is not ready for me with 350 Million in my pocket.

That amount is what can be considered "Fornicate You" money.

I could finally realize my dream of Monster Truck Demolition Derby.

 

$1M in pocket money. The rest invested for a good cause. Well, maybe also a netjet share. I hate flying with the riff-raff.

......"I wonder what ever happened to yooperdave ?"......

 

And their "comfort " animals.

 

You will at least hear about parts of it on the news if I win! I have detailed plans.

 

Doesn't look like he regrets it for a second.

 

Woman arrested for defecating on boss' desk after winning the lottery

 

I would hire a few people to come in and do somethings I would like to have done. Best way to help yourself and others is with jobs.

 

Legal ?????????

 

Sorry guys, you won't be spending my money, don't play the lottery.

It's tempting, and I guess I could forgo the blue smoothies and contribute that money.


NOT!!




Good luck to all of ya's.

 

I bought tickets in an unincorporated town. With my luck, if I bought them up town I'd win and have to pay the village their 1.5% income tax.

 

For $2 I figured I'd donate to the poor tax. Make that four because my wife donated too.

I think I'd go all Brewsters Millions at first.

 

I am pretty sure not. No I'm positive its not. But let me tell you it will be epic, talked about across the continent and possibly the planet, and a lawyer is going to love me! I would be the ideal client, rich/mischievous/and wouldn't care!

 

Id build something like this for hauling my new race cars around first.

 

Supposedly 12.4 BTU per bill.

 

Well, I don't participate. But if any of you win, I will first come back and delete this post. Then I will sue you, saying that you and I bought the ticket together, and you owe me half. BTW, I'll settle for $10 million out of court.

 

Wow, no winner, 1.6 billion estimated next drawing.
