The cash payout for tonight's powerball is $100 million. $100 million!!! I'm pretty sure I have the winning ticket, but I'll wait till morning to check.  ;)

I can honestly say I'd give most of it away. I could do a whole lotta good with that much cash.

Oh, and I'd quit my job and just do volunteer work. And build a really cool house.

Build a bigger house, buy a new car, mine is about to roll over 100,000, and invest.  Of course, there would be a fat donation to Deej for the website.

Give DJ a large donation for the website. Buy Chris a new car. I'd get me a new monitor. Other than that, I don't know.

I'd invest most of it for retirement.  Move to the west coast, and work there part time, or volunteer. And retire. And travel. After I help a few people out.

How much is that for 20 years, per year? Do the taxes come out all at once? Can you tell I never play the lottery??  ;;D

Call a lawyer and get a new phone number.

Then I'd call in sick for about two weeks (just to piss 'em off a little) before I retire.

Pay off all my friends' mortgages and then set up a nice, fat foundation to start some SERIOUS research on how to kill this beast.

Pay off the mortgage and bills, pay off my kids debts, tythe my 10% to my church, donate to ch.com, buy new cars, set up a benevolent fund to help my friends out when in need, invest the rest.

What I would do...

I certainly would donate to ch.com and OUCH.

I would book tickets to the next OUCH convention for myself and my best supporter and wonder where else I've always wanted to travel.

Then I'd buy a nice house with a huge balcony, terrace and a garden.

I'd take a year off to write a novel. :)

I'd probably buy some of my fave books, dvds and country cds, a new handbag (a good one this time!), and set money aside for the future (a car, a wedding, retirement...).

Basically I'd live the life I life but add some luxuries to it. :)

I'd save the seals

Fix the ozone layer

Protect the environment

Feed the Hungry

House the Homeless

Package and ship Flavor Flav to a remote corner of the earth.

I'm thinking there is a good chance I would do a death spiral of out of control spending and insanely bad habits, but maybe I'd invest it wisely and do alot of philantropy.

Title: Re: What would you do with the money
Post by Rosybabe on Aug 26th, 2007, 10:07am
pay debts and help the family out, pay college for my daughter and Stepson, buy a nice house for me and another one for my Mom and MIL  and donate some and invest the rest...

When you're older; you look at things differently but still: After OUCH and helping out a needy friend a bit, I'd find a place in New Hampshire or the Adirondacks that looks down on stuff, and travel like hell for a long time.

Get one of those Swedish clothes dryers.

Get a tub McDonalds chocolate sauce that they use on their hot fudge sundaes. http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs/cone.gif

Fun to play this game...

Buy a house with a minimum of 10 acres of land,
Buy a few used cars (have teens who are about to drive)
Give a substantial sum to the church
Give a substantial sum to OUCH
Give some money to each in the extended family
Pay off back child support
Pay my few debts
Set up a living trust

Watch a whole bunch of sunrises and sunsets
Go on a honeymoon with my wife (never got one)

Live life on a budget and continue to give to others through the trust.

I'd call all of the banks in town to watch and see how much they would be kissing my ass! ;;D

Then I'd pay off my bar tab.

Let me see - I'd pay for a bunch of you to go to the next Convention.

Then - I'd give DJ enough to fund this site forever.

Donate a bunch to a couple of hospitals that have done good things for us and our families.

Then - I'd buy myself a kicka$$ Hummer!!!! Candy Apple Red with white leather interior and just drive around the country! ;;D

Can I come with you?  Hummers don't fit into car washes and I'll keep it clean and pretty.

I just need to get out of here for awhile. I don't eat much.

You sure can and with that much money, we can eat as much and as often as we like as long as each meal has chocolate with it!!! LOL!

Hell, Donna, we'll hire some cute young thang to wash the Hummer. ;;D

Now you're talking!  Just say the word.  I'm ready to go.

That Hummer will need to be detailed often, you know.

Buy the Steeplgate hotel in DavCon and invite everyone on this site to free rooms and transportation and food and anything they wanted to drink for the biggest damn meet & greet ever Ü Terry

I'd hire a few lawyers, a few accountants a couple brokers and a couple financial planners. I'd have them secure and invest the money and create a foundation and a trust naming several carefully selected recipients to receive a monthly check as a base pay...
for those on my list of recipients... I would enable them to receive more based on the number of hours they work for non profit organizations of my choosing... in other words... I provide them with a list of non profits... the more they volunteer... the larger their monthly stipend will become.

oh... yeah... I'd buy a new couch.

with warm regards,
Tony

You all have some hilarious responses!!

Of course, I'd donate to my favorite charities, and the church I love.

And I be at the car dealership, get a custom made Hummer with my intials on it...a jag...also custom made.

Next a home...a beautiful old victorian...then I'd have the money to resore it...and lots of land and horses.

First, I'd be at a financial advisor though...and hire a "dream team" of lawyers.

Then...ALL OF US Ch'rs would have a BLOW OUT party...for as long as everyone wanted to stay at my home...even forever!!  I'd have a big enough home if I had 3mil.  ANd Jonny...over 20 years..NO WAY.  A lump sum immediately....I'd be afraid something would get screwed up and i wouldn't receive it...

I loved reading the responses thus far.

I too, would buy a house that looked down on stuff, on lots of land in a state other than Wisconsin so I could keep more of my money.  And a cleaning lady - oh yessir, a cleaning lady!!  A house with a studio above-ground for me and a sound-proofed studio for the boys.  And then I would actually get on a plane (which is a HUGE deal for me) and go kidnap Helen and make sure she gets what she needs in whatever amounts she needs it to make her well again.

I agree with brew - hire a lawyer and shut off my phone service.  I don't need solicitations from strangers who want the money - I KNOW who needs it.

I think it would be fun to set some aside (after taking care of friends, family and charities) with which to play "anonymous benefactor."  I hear about a project, or a cause, or a person that needs a boost and then would be able to arrange an anonymous donation - I like the fact that no one would know it's me.

Ah well - I didn't win so I'll put those dreams on the back burner and keep moving.

I'd make sure I had a big wad invested to create perpetual income...

I beg to differ.  Your can easily give a hummer in a car wash.

All I have ever wanted to do is buy an AWESOME RV, and travel the Unites States...I would start on the East Coast and work my way West....I want to go to as many college football games in a different city every Saturday, like Tennessee, Florida, Miami, Florida State, Alabama, Michigan, Michigan State, Notre Dame....I could go on and on....I love the East, and I have never been east of Arkansas....pitty...the very first place I would go would be Virginia...to see where we started...I will do that someday, with or without millions in my bank account....

oh, the rest would go to charity of course... ;;D

simply have a money bin like scrooge mc duck
and swim around in it, surrounded by a bevy of women!!


more likely put it in the bank and watch the interest grow. handed out interest payments to friends and family.
