Default When I win the $500 Million Powerball Drawing .....

I am going to buy a fully optioned LS600hL and a MB S600 AMG. Then I'll start on some vintage Ferraris!

What are you gonna do?

What are you gonna do?
Pay off all my delinquent taxes (just kidding)



Seriously, I don't gamble. But, if I did and win the lottery, God would get His share first (Tithe), then whatever taxes I owed on it, then yeah,.....probably a new car, but it probably wouldn't be a super-expensive one. I like plenty of vehicles under 40K.

If only it were really $500 million. It sucks that you lose out on millions because of the IRS.

I would set up my family and wife first and for most, a few cars, house up north, travel , invest, possibly a business car related of course.

either someone won't win or one person will win the whole thing. with that much on the leave the drawing open to 10 winners at least.

I did not buy one. I will buy a single play if nobody wins this one. It is around a fair game if one person wins.

First thing I'd do is pay off my debts- car, bills, etc. Then start dividing things out to my family under the condition they do not let it get in the way of their own family life, relationships, or health. Big money often changes people for the worse, so got to be very careful. Then travel a little, take a train across the country to see how people live, come back and start up a retail business, a restaurant, a nightclub, a church, donate to my former high school, my local police and fire department, councilman, and to local mom and pop businesses. I'd also like to set up cameras on certain blvd's that have crime and graffiti problems. Lastly, it would be nice to get a personal trainer/nutritionist and get as healthy as I possibly can get. What good is all that money if you are diseased or suffering? Without health, we have nothing. If all of that can be achieved, it's time to run in a marathon and bike cross-country. Oh... and I've always wanted to own a Kenworth, MCI bus, and a locomotive. Hey, you asked....

I played $10 worth
Got 2 numbers on the same set

Also I'd open up several businesses/chains ensuring the next generations of my family. Along with the 20 car garage and all the luxuries as you've all stated. I'd mainly want to travel though. I've only traveled part of the US and there's a whole world out there.
