Husband and I have actually had this conversation on more than one occasion (the irony is that I live in a state without the lottery - so won't be playing anyways).

First we would put money in trust for each of our kids that they get once they graduate from college. Then we would give a million to his brother and sister (though his brother's would be held in trust too because he's irresponsible). Then some more to my Goddaughter and her siblings (she would get more of course ).

Then from what was left we would give probably a good 1/4 to our church and then another 1/4 to various charities.

The rest would put our kids through college and buy a house in Hawaii!

Mmm well first I'd give a million or so to my neighbor across the street. Her husband was killed several years ago. She has 2 daughters and seems to be managing well, but I'm sure she has bills and that would help.

Next, I'd give a million or so to my workers.

Next, the local animal shelter seems to be on the right track with a new manager but I would set them up with a new building and lots of quality pet foods.

I'd buy a few vacation homes and maybe an island or a small country

Visit the Hotel California.

Give some $$$$$ to BlackCashmere and she'll help lots Good causes.

Pay off all my bills and take care of my true friends... Then follow my accountants advice on investing

 

[1Browneyedguy]

I just heard it's up to

EIGHT HUNDRED. MILLION

800, 000, 000. $$$$$

 

[greeneyedvirgin]

If nobody wins, will it finally reach $1B? I'm gonna win it of course, I'm sitting on two tickets.

Not sure what it is up to but honestly I dont think I could spend, and use the things I bought, with 3/4 of a Billion dollars.

Of course Uncle Sam would try to get about 35% of that... A cool 280,000,000 give or take. I think I should get a medal for that. Maybe a wing at the IRS or something.

I would not do much. Buy that boat I wanted. 1.5Mil. Remodel the house and add the extension, 150k. Buy new cars, another 150k, Oh, and why is it that a "nice" car is 60k now a days? set up the kids futures and not give it to them till they get settled down and mature 5 mil each. Last invest in my business 10 mil.. Ok so INCLUDING Uncle Sam i will have spent 300mil. That would leave me with 400mill to do what? Kick Richard Branson off his Island?

Well, you know as starter of this post I get 10% of anyone's winging here

 

[greeneyedvirgin]

I think I heard once that Uncle Sam get approx 50%.

Huh? even if I let you out of that pie case?

 

[greeneyedvirgin]

Okay. .75¢ and that's only if you have whip cream too.

 

[scorpio1121]

I guess i would not much to bitch about since it only cost me $2.00 to get 450Mil. But I would be hiring a seriously good accountant and planner.

 

[Mayberrygirl]

Probably have a damn heart attack if I won and kick the bucket... and then what??? I wonder who would have rights to the money?? Now that would be a wiggly can of worms to open...

 

[WiserSoutherner]

It's more like 36% but if you take a lump sum instead of an annuity it gets reduced to present value. Basically you pocket about 1/3 of the "total" after taxes so you're still in the 300M ballpark.

I do believe I could make do.

 

[1Browneyedguy]

thank you Wise Southerner..

Btw, nice grizzly pic

1. Heart Attack
2. Hire The Best Cardiologist (with stripper nurses)
3. Hire a Lawyer (cause the stripper nurses are going to sue)
4. Hire an Accountant (cause lawyers are all crooked fucks)
5. Change my name (cause every cheap ass relative whose even vaguely related to me is going to come out of the woodwork.)
6. Buy a Salma Hayek/Penelope Cruz threesome. (Because I can.)

That's a start...

 

[1Browneyedguy]

I'd pay off all my friend's college debt, and mortgages.
Then I'd probably make some loans so people could follow their dreams.
Then I'd hire a personal, on-call assassin.

Mmmm someone like John Wick ????
