C'mon, it's up to $700,000,000.00!

Count them zeros!!!

So tell me if you won the POWERBALL Lotto Jackpot what would you do?

I'd take care of my family and extended then buy an RV and travel the US and Canada.

    Yeah, same here.
    I would buy a house on acreage for everyone I care about and about a dozen in all the places I love most, then I would just travel the world enjoying new experiences and revisiting my favorite ones.

    Would you have a farm on all the properties?

    I think I just might lol
    Run to my specs by a well paid crew, all the food going to locals in need.  Sounds quite nice.

    Not winning is not necessarily on a par with losing :)

    I was thinking earlier...that is a SHITLOAD of bucks.  What in the fuck would I do with close to a billion dollars?  Really, the fuck?

    Sure I'd be doing a jig of sorts, knowing my sweetie and I would be DONE with "work", but seems like managing that amount or even trusting some else to do so would be more a headache than a blessing.

    Of course, got a long-ass fantasy list of charities we would so love to give beyond what we already do.

    My first call would be to Warren Buffet.  My second call is to whomever he told me to call.

    And I'd most likely say goodbye to the United States.

    Actually, my luck, I'd win the damn thing and a jet would crash into my house and kill me!  hahahaha  That would be my luck!

    I'd buy a HUGE piece of land closer to the coast from where I live now and do everything I could think of to make sure it would remain a nature conservancy.  I would build non-invasive trails through the property, just enough to have small group nature related educational outings. I would buy a new ship for Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.  I would help WIldlands network secure more wildlife corridors. The rest I would invest so that I could a) live securely for the rest of my life and b) have a steady income so that I could do even more to help with conservation efforts.

    I might also buy a bunch more records!

    I'm pretty sure $700M ensures financial security for more than several lifetimes, Brian =)

    It'd be a blast to indulge and give, neither in moderation.
