You'll all be sucking it while I rocket ski on 2 dolphins

I forgot what a badass their guitarist was. Girl could fucking shred, and she was the clear cut hottest member as well.

 

I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

 

Setup trusts for my kid, and the kids of relatives, then custom build the most badass RV anyone has ever designed. Travel during the summer while my kid is on vacation, work during the school year. Wouldn't change anything about my current lifestyle work-wise, as 1) I love what I do, and 2) I think it's important to keep some level of normalcy in your life after you suddenly come into money like that.

There would be a lot of hunting and fishing trips for game I can't find here, and I'd have my own meat storage locker built, a sanitary building to process whatever game I take around here, my own smokehouse, and a custom bbq pit. The diesel F-250 I drive right now is my dream truck anyway so I don't see why I'd want any other vehicles (though I would trick it out a bit more with some lights and shit). Depending on the amount of money I came into I'd purchase a large ranch in either South Texas or Colorado, high fence it, and start a breeding program for deer and exotics. Instead of donating to charities directly, I'd auction off hunting trips there with the proceeds going to charity.

Any investments I'd make would likely be in real estate, and I'd form a company to manage the income-producing properties.

 

Seeing as the damn Powerball is now over $800M with a cash payout after taxes somewhere north of $300M...

I'd buy a mountain. The whole fucking thing. I'd fence the base of my mountain with a 10ft fence topped with concertina wire and I'd have machine gun drones circling the perimeter 24 hours a day.

I'd live in a small shack on top of my mountain, grow a Civil War beard, and have a ridiculously lifted 4WD with 3 blown big blocks powering it and the machine guns mounted on the hood, roof, and facing the rear. Because leave me the fuck alone you money grabbing cock suckers.

Then I'd build a huge screen on top of my mountain to block out the sun for anyone living within a 100 mile radius to make them all move away.

I could then stand on top of my mountain and truly be the master of all I surveyed.

 

I would never drive again. Someone would drive me in my bad ass RV, large SUV, or helicopter, depending on the situation.

 

I forgot...one more thing. I'd have a rocket built and send a bunch of heavy equipment robots to the moon programmed to sculpt my face into the surface, so every fucking night my visage would be looking down on the planet with disdain. We all need to leave a legacy after all.

 

Kinda. More like a cross between that, and this:

 

Dammit, I was about to say that.

 

Well, in fairness, we've done the Lottery Thread three or four times, and somebody posts it every time.

 

Apparently nobody won. Wednesday's drawing is up to $1.3 billion. With a B.

Someone is going to get murdered over that number. It will be like Cain, running place to place, knowing no peace, forever marked. Except worse because you know it will be way more white trashy.

http://abcnews.go.com/US/powerball-winning-numbers-picked-900-million-jackpot/story?id=36184696 "In Texas, an hourly sales record was set with $4.9 million in Powerball tickets sold from 5 to 6 p.m. -- $1,361 woth of tickets sold every second."

This is the greatest scam ever. USA Today says almost $700 million worth of tickets were sold between Friday and Saturday.

 

The truth? I've never bought a lottery ticket in my life, I've always thought it was stupid, but I'm honestly considering just dropping $5 on it, cause why the fuck not?

If I won, though? Simple:
--College funds for all nieces, nephews, and kids.
--Pay off all our bills
--Quit job, cause fuck it
--Hire a money manager, cause I'm not an idiot
--Finish our basement exactly the way we want, including a fireplace, a bar, an office, an entertainment room/DVD and Blu Ray library, and a stand up arcade machine

 

Is this your if I won $500,000 dreams or $1.3 Billion dreams?

 

1.3 Billion minus taxes will result in a payout around 400 million. College for 9 kids (and mind you, not for at least 10 years for the oldest, over 18 for the youngest so far) alone will be damn near 2 million. Paying off a house, finishing it how we want, Paying off bills, our student loans, and all the remodels to the house would be pretty damn expensive, too. Plus never working again, in combination with sending kids to private schools? I'm sure we'd do a lot more, like vacations multiple times a year, new cars every few years, living comfortably for the next 40 years at least, buying literally everything we'd ever want, retirement homes and hired help for when I'm old and don't want to clean shit anymore, college funds for grand kids... Yeah, I think I'd go through that money.

One of the reasons winning the lottery turns into a clusterfuck for people who win is because they think they have unlimited money for ever and they blow through it shockingly fast, not realizing how much shit actually costs. They loan everyone they know money, say yes to everyone that asks, and end up broke as when they started because it turns out a couple hundred million goes fast when you're buying stupidly expensive cars, homes, and realizing you an email to pay taxes on all that shit, too. Hell, even with this massive payout, I promise whomever wins ends up broke in a matter of years. My goal would be avoiding that bullshit, and just living a nice, easy life where I never really want for anything ever again.

 

I won $4...

 

I wonder how much of that's due to assholes just gunning for them, and how much it has to do with the victim's own actions?

 

I read one place, I think, that there are 175.2 million possible number combinations. Are the tickets still $2? Why doesn't a group of millionaires get together and buy every single possible combination? With a prize over a billion, don't they come out ahead?
