800 million

So I don't usually post new threads but I figured heck, why not!

In the states the powerball is up to 800 million dollars, and it is possible to reach 1 billion by the drawing tomorrow night.

So this should be easy..

What would you do if you won the jackpot, and all of it? Not only short term, but long term also.

Good luck players!

I know what I'd do if you won...marry you!

After making a lot of donations to worthy causes, buy lots of luxury items such as yachts, cars, and houses which will employ lots of people to make, upkeep, and repair them.

I would give it ALL to charity, specifically orphanages & children's hospitals like St Jude Children's Hospital, that provide free healthcare and cutting edge cancer treatments to children.....less my $2 investment, of course!

Btw, my generosity is not entirely innocent....I just don't believe in paying the government taxes on money I don't need anyway, allowing corrupt politicians to waste it. I'd get my satisfaction in screwing them out of their "share" of what doesn't belong to them!

I would use it all to become "member of the month"!

I would donate a good portion of it, buy a modest but comfortable home, setup a retirement plan and a yearly travel budget. I would buy all the camera equipment I ever needed. Never work again and travel and photograph the world for the rest of my life. Buy a building someplace touristy and set up a gallery of my work. Leave enough for a retirement home on a beach somewhere tropical.

I would probably spend it on Hookers and Cocaine.

$800 mil invested at a measly 2% per annum gives you $16 mil per year in interest.

Divided by 365 days gives you $43,835 to spend per day.

I think I'd survive...just!

I'd pay off the National Debt!! Except, then I would have to win it 19,000 more times in order to do that. Wait..... um...what was the question?

It takes more than money to qualify for member of the month.

I would take out a small portion to enhance my own and my family's safety, put some aside for emergencies, and invest the majority in sources which are likely to yield steady growth. Aside from safety and furthering my education, I would try to avoid living to luxuriously. As I become better informed and learn more about worthy causes, I would consider funding, though always cautiously.

Oh yeah, the money. Um.... I'd buy PE Gym so I could make the guys do funny little human pet tricks for me. I'd have Jock; off in the corner juggling 5 steel horseshoe cockrings while telling dirty jokes. Cusp would be in charge of leading the free pony rides courtesy of Pegasus. He would have a whip or a bamboo stick (his choice). Better keep moving Peg!! Ta53ora would be wrestling Big al to prove who had the real gorilla nuts around here. Maybe Burtybasset would take the winner. I think it's probably Taora cause apes actually have really small nuts. But don't tell him I said that. I'd prolly have Batwoman throwing sticks for cavalier to fetch. She would be wearing a ball gag for later (but you don't need to know about that). And there would be a vibrating butt plug, but Cav, you REALLY don't want to know about that. Kickinthemebs would be... well..... probably hanging something from his dick, and I'm sure Party would be flying around annoying the shit out of everybody, but it would be ok because Wishfull would tell everyone how special we are and just how perfect our cock was and um.... wait.... where was I going with this?

The names in the above response are all made up to protect the innocent and are not suggestive of any current member here. Bearing any likeness to actual names is purely coincidental.

I'd give 794 mill to charity, then use the rest to make myself into a bionic superhero. Probably even star in my own tv show, what to name it though?

I'm glad y'all got it figured out, because I'm still trying to figure out what I'd do

I do know that investing it would be a top priority before anything. I also do know that donating a large part of the profit in returns would go to charity, every year, for generations to come. Especially feeding the poor.

Over and out!
