What would you do if you won it? Details, give us details!

Do you guys have a lottery? Do you play it?

The Powerball Jackpot is $80 million dollars! I play every Wednsday and Saturday. I have no idea what I would do if I won. I'd probably die of heart failure or something.

I play all the time...Powerball. But I'm like Mike.....Other than a couple of things....I really don't know.

Other than, I'd never miss a tithing.

I would definately have to donate portions of that....but with the rest of the money I would definately get a couple new computers, a new car and lots of other things that I cant think of at the moment.

First thing I would do is buy a plane ticket to NY, second thing I would do is change my name...that way none of my evil family memebers would try and hit me up for money...

After that, I dunno...

If i win lottery(classic lotto 38 million, powerball 80 million in CT) i would call my doctor and get a checkup find something wrong and go on light duty at work, or maybe fake an injury and do nothing at work, just like the other losers. but i'd rub it in to all the light duty ppl and make it obvious that i was faking it!

i got this idea from another co worker lol

I won the lottery 6 times yesterday... but it was all 5 dollar each win... but better than nothing!

wooo.. if I had that much money.. I won't worry about school at all... I'll just study as a leisure time... no more pressure..

then I'd just have fun! wOOOOO

Chris · Post by **Chris** » Sat Sep 07, 2002 1:14 pm

80 million huh?
Well, mom would go to a nice home

Kids to bording school then college or university.
New log home in the middle of nowhere on the side of a lake
new 4x4 truck, a Hummer mayber

, Porche and snowmobiles and a couple of See Doo's and a boat.

5 million to Give Kids the World.
5 Million to SickKids hospital in Toronto Cardiac Ward.
Set up a transportation service for families from this area to take their kids to the childrens hospital.

A shop with a hoist and all the tools to build my 32 ford coupe in.

And maybe a motor coach conversion, probably an Eagle to take a trip in.

Indy · Post by **Indy** » Sat Sep 07, 2002 1:52 pm

80 Million...after Uncle Sam takes his share, that amount would be down to about $50 million...

I'd pay off the house, buy a couple of new cars (one for me, one for my wife), pay off my moms house, set up a $250,000 college fund for each of my daughters, and take a few months to travel to places around the world that I've always wanted to go (or go back to)...

I'd make a sizeable contribution to the Riley's Children's hospital here in Indianapolis (they took great care of my younger daughter when she was there for 10 days with pneumonia when she was 4)...& a sizeable contribution to the Make A Wish foundation...

I'd also put at least 10 million away in the bank in an interest bearing account, and live off the interest (if you get a return of 5%, you make 50,000 a year per million...adds up to a $250,000 year return)...

I would first get my dad's grave site topped off. It needs to be filled in from what I've been told.

I would then rent Air Force One and have Ross flown to the John's Hopkins Medical Center located in Baltimore for the best treatment that money could buy. And fly in his whole family of course.

I'd flip the bill for everything and I mean everything.

Next, I would give each SG member $150,000 to build or buy a house of there choosing. And I would fly all members (round trip) into Las Vegas for a 1 week SG Meeting. Ok make it two weeks.

Oh did I mention I'd flip the bill on that too???

Finally, I would take my wife Jen on a 3 month tour of Europe staying at the very best B&B's that money could buy. Then I would build her the log cabin house that she has always wanted with a matching stable for her team of Clydesdale's.

After that it's my turn. It's off to Africa for a one month African WildLife Safari!

brembo · Post by **brembo** » Sat Sep 07, 2002 5:51 pm

I'd vanish. Poof gone! And show up friends houses with awesome gifts. Play for a few days, and go on my way. Oh, after that fun wears off, I'd buy me a old missile silo and live in it. Have a fiber line installed and get a dozen or so souped up comps and fold like mad.

MadDoctor · Post by **MadDoctor** » Sat Sep 07, 2002 6:03 pm

I'd spread a lot of money around SG (what in the hell can I do with that much money anyway?). The mistress would get some and the wife would get even more. I've got a few medical contributions I'd like to make and of course...

I'd buy a zoo.

Indy, your first comment about the Government taking ther share is interesting.
Over here the winnings are free of all forms of tax.
Never won lotto or powerball but the only part that is taxable is the interest on the winnings after the end of the financial year.

BOT>>>
I would pay out the loans on the houses and cars in the family and invest heavily in rental housing.
Buy the bits for my son to build me a more reliable system.

Then a trip to some exotic places after quitting work.
