papajoe222 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 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? Quote
tipptruck1 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I don't play the lotto, but if I did. Then won 500mil. No one would ever see me again. Friends or family. 1 Quote

Super User gardnerjigman Posted February 12, 2015 Super User Posted February 12, 2015 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. 2 Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted February 12, 2015 Super User Posted February 12, 2015 I would donate it all to Apple. I've heard they are having trouble financially, and I really like their iPhones. 3 Quote

Super User Redlinerobert Posted February 12, 2015 Super User Posted February 12, 2015 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. 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. 3 Quote

tipptruck1 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 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. Quote

Super User SirSnookalot Posted February 12, 2015 Super User Posted February 12, 2015 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. 1 Quote

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!

Matthew2000 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 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. 1 Quote
