Powerball

[cbat]

St Judes will be naming their new wing after my family. Lots of good can be done with the money and still have plenty to live as you please.

Buy rokslide, not allow locking or deletion of threads and watch everyone cry as it becomes the wild west of hunting forums!

I've never bought a Powerball ticket in my life. If you don't play.... you can't lose.

I'd buy that 900,000 plus acre listing in Wyoming that touches 4 counties- 1% of the state's landmass. Then probably do some serious hunting... all over the world... year round.

Just to through in more numbers, a $1.8 billion has a lump sum payout of roughly $900 million (90% of winners choose this option) which will be heavily taxed at about $333 million leaving you with approximately $567 million. Still a ridiculous amount of money, but a far cry from $1.8 billion.

Roughly 34k a day for the rest if my life. I couldn't live like that. I'd need another thousand or 2 a day.

No doubt you can do a lot of good with $500+ million and have a lifetime of fun, but it comes with hazards. For example, imagine how many family members and friends would come asking for money. It would be easy to say yes a time or two for good causes, but what about the 10th time? How could you say no to their brilliant business idea that would make you and them so much money? Imagine that on a weekly basis. No thanks.

My biggest fears would be spoiling/ruining my kids (likely) and my wife leaving me for her Jiu-Jitsu instructor (guaranteed). You could get a new wife, sure, but you'd always know the money was her primary motivation. Again, no thanks.

Even though I never play, I'm gonna run out and buy a few tickets. In the .000000000000000000000001 percent chance I win, I'll buy every member on here an SWFA 6X and then donate the rest of the money to Elon Musk just to blow people's minds!

We were chatting about this today at work. I would not work other than be a “hobby rancher” wife wouldn’t work. Would buy up the entirety of her families historical ranch. Then have property in Co, ID, Wyo, MT. Beach spot somewhere and spend time helping others. Probably lots of Non profit hunts for vets, LE, and first responders who could never afford it and running around playing cowboy. I mean 1 billion is the type of money where you can buy stuff that’s not even for sale if you know what I mean

Hahahahaha!

That’s gold.

I’m in a group pool and we only get together when it gets to a ridiculous amount.

Wednesday we bought $2700 worth of tickets. We won $255! LMAO!!!!

Total waste of money!

Dropped $20.00 on the last 2 attempts.

Lawyer, accountant, quit work, and most important keep my mouth shut and try to live normal.
Travel, some land, and a constant stream on ladies on the payroll

I had a conversation with my kids on the way home. We talked about interest, taxes, and the lump sum. “Dad it’s Friday, we don’t want to do math.” Ok fine…

We compromised. 10 million each (seems like a bargain) at age 25 if they graduate college and get good grades. If they eff around the get nothing.

Buy the Whitewater Ranch on the Salmon. The only way in is by air or jetboat. Give to St.Judes, let the accountants take care of the rest and become a feral hobbits on the River.

Buy as much Wilks Bros land as I could and open it up to public access, but have a 6mm max caliber restriction just to see the heads explode.

1. Order guac on every Chipotle order.
2. Wear a brand new pair of underwear and socks every day.
3. Get the Colorado pinstripes buffed out of the sides of my truck.
4. Use an old school Motorola Razr for calls and texts and a Microsoft Zune for music, never touch a smartphone again.
5. When the optional tip screen pops up on non-service related transactions, press “No” even harder while making uninterrupted eye contact with the employee.

Okay, I change my opinion. I'd be putting in counter offers to anything those jackasses buy to take it from under them.

Like most I'd have some tucked away large chunk of land that I'd build a modest home (we aren't flashy and can't see myself with some stupid large house. I'd then build the nicest wood shop out back where id spend the rest of my days building custom kid bows that I'd donate to every charity/make a wish foundation that came around. I do like that St. Judes wing also. Yes, a lot of good could come of that kind of coin.
