Powerball soars to $550million with no winner last night...

I absolutely love just dreaming about what all I would do if I won. It's just fun buying the tickets for me.

 

So, anyone going to buy a few tickets?

I would own a stake in a basketball franchise.

I honestly would change much. I'd probably have someone else claim the money so I couldn't ever be accused of buying my way into the music business.

 

Then I'd have my dad build me a house on a couple acres in Brentwood.

 

Then I'd buy a couple cars:

 

1. Black Ford Roush Raptor F150

2. Grigio Estoque Aventador Roadster 50th anniversary with Black ADV.1's. Orange Calipers and Orange diamond stitching with UGR Twin Turbo Kit

3. New black Supercharged Autobiography Edition Range Rover

Buying tix today if I remember.

After securing proper council I would definitley do this:

 

1. Seek out land and build a really nice home.

 

2. Set up trusts for my son and daughter with goals to access said trusts

 

3. Hunt down cars ,trucks, weapons I've always wanted.

 

4. Travel the world with my wonderful wife.(while attending F1, Le Mans and other series races)

 

5. Last but not least, I would build a school or a foundation that would teach and provide young men with the skills to use hand and power tools so they could learn what is required to be proficent in major trades. This is something I've wanted to do for years.

 

 

This just reminded me to buy a few - thanks!

Me too. I never buy them any other time, only when the news runs their stories about huge jackpots.

Funny, I got stuck last night for the 252nd time...Better go buy a few tickets!

gutshot you don't need to win lotto for any of the above, good luck with everything.

Not sure what taxes would be annually, but this is always fun to me to do to dream a little

I'd like to think I would be as reasonable as Pockmark but....i'd probably waste it.

If it were me I would give $100,000 to everyone who posted in this thread.

 

 

I'll start an anti-IRS non-profit.

So true...I keep at it everyday. Sure would make all rush in a lot faster though.

 

Thanks for the reminder!

I'd invest it, make meself a billionaire then spend it!

I'd buy my mom a Tesla. It's her current wish for a DD.

I'd start by convincing roman to let us throw a kick ass party at his new digs. might have to bribe him with a heli-pad but that would be awesome.

 

Who knows, I might take up alms racing or something fun like that. Start a team with Webster racing zondas

I'd probably become a resident of Monaco or Luxembourg first and then start investing and spending.

I'm going to buy a few tickets. Regardless of the odds, its hard not to get a little excited knowing theres a single piece of $2 paper in your wallet that may be worth a half a BILLION dollars the next day.

 

Thats so much money its hard to even fathom. Almost anything in your wildest dreams within reach. Amazing is an understatement.

 

Good luck to all!

 

PS - I may have posted this before, but in 2008 or 2009, a friend of mine was working in an office at a toyota dealership (less than an hour from where I am sitting) when a $200+-million dollar mega millions went off. The day after it happened, it was announced that someone in NJ had taken the entire prize, and she coincidentally noticed that her coworker (the lady sitting 5 feet from her in the same office) stopped coming to work. A few weeks later, it was confirmed that her coworker had won. She has been living in fantasy land ever since. Funded business start-ups for all of her kids (5 if I remember correctly), bought a ton of cars, spends weekends partying in the hottest cities in the country, etc. My friend showed me the ladies facebook once (they have remained friends), and it was fun just to see the pics of the lifestyle she is now living. Hopefully she made some investments with it as well, because she is definitely living large right now!

 

Whenever I think of the odds now, I always remember my friend telling me about her, because it truly can happen to anyone.

 

Like I said, its fun just to think about! Heres hoping we have an LP winner!

bought 40$ worth.

 

I like Pock's Idea.

 

I would spread 30million to all my family and friends.. with closest getting more.

 

 

 

not that we have even close to these amounts for Lottery here in Australia, i do know if i won any significant amount of money the next day i'd be putting money down on a Lambo and another GT3
