I'd give most of it away to the less fortunate, then I'd have to buy a new Silverado and a thousand acre farm in the Edmonton Bow Zone. Life would be better! lol
Turn in my two weeks, pay off family debt, buy some land around the U.S., buy a Freeman 37, and enjoy...
After I paid the government, I'd make sure myself, and closest family and friends are taken care of for life. I'd cancel my plans to go back to anesthesia school and stop working as an RN. I'd invest heavily in land and cattle and build my dream house. I'd hunt and fish in all the places I've dreamed of. I'd also give heavily to our church to help start new ones and fund further mission and ministry opportunities. I'd use it to better the world around me and not wind up a broke and suicidal slob like most lottery winners
If I won the lottery, I'd have some rich friends too. Its no fun drinking alone when your friends have to go to work on Monday. Lets see. Build dream home Pay off all of my families debt and some close friends Spend the next 20 years traveling the country hunting in places I could only dream of affording. I don't think I'd quit my job. I'd go to work each day... and be as absolutely obnoxious as I could until they fired me. That would be fun (and I even love my job). Oh and buy Bowhunting.com.
While I totally agree with you, when the jackpot gets up that high, I will typically buy a couple tickets. I can afford to give away a few bucks every now and again for the chance(however so slight) to hit it big.
but really after the debt is covered, build my own house, new truck buy a bunch of land all over to be able to travel to hunt/fish at. Always would like to start a mentoring program for kids.
Not meant to be taken so literally, not really a tax but if you were mindful of the odds of winning why would you buy one? Sales tax is an optional tax as well.
Probably die of a heart attack a minute after the #s were said!! Thats my luck. At least my wife and 3 daughters would be taken care of, I always say I`m worth more dead than alive anyway./.....
And then use the other 50% to pay for your medical expenses after getting checked into the psych ward Wow I need my morning coffee.... Didn't catch that this was a joke until I hit post.
woo hoo! I hit the jackpot of $8 My financial adviser recommended I not quit my job as my jackpot winnings will not be enough to get me through till I die, much less lunch!
I would try and start a lot of outdoor programs for youth who's parents aren't into it. Any way to get them out and off the computer/phone/video games. The best thing I had growing up was my bike. I see some of my sons friends come over and they don't even have a bike by choice. These things concern me. I would love to start a fishing club for kids whose parents don't do it.
