I was just thinking what I'm going to do when I win the powerball drawing on Wednesday...lol.
I think I'll buy a bank...lure all those people (who were mean) and I hated working with over the last 20 yrs to come work for me...and then SELL the bank!! I was just curious what all of you would do with your approx. 170 million in cash.

Rock...you're not going to win it...I am!
I'd buy lots of land and lots of horses. The kids and I could rodeo every weekend if we wanted to...no worrys about the rising fuel cost. Oh...I'd hire someone to clean the house! I hate doing that.

After I file for divorce...hahaha.
Seriously, all of my family members would be taken care of (6 siblings with 5 spouses, 14 neices/nephews, parents, inlaws 3 with spouses and an additional 11 neices/nephews). Both of my kids would have trust funds set up.
I'd give my 2 weeks notice, retroactive to 2 weeks ago. I'd travel for a while, then come back home and do more volunteer work in the community than I already do. Something with kids and soccer. Buy a business that I don't care if it loses money.

Which states have the Powerball? I need to know so that I can call a friend in that state and ask him to buy me a ticket and fax me a copy of it with his sworn statement that if that ticket wins, I get the money.

I would pay for a divorce and happily pay him off to leave me alone..lol
Take care of my parents and my sister and a help out my best friends. Take a long leave of absence from work, life, everyday monotony. Build me a gigantic house with every ammenity possible. OH and I'd also hire nothing but male servants, pool boy, maid, chef, lawn boy, car washing boy, bathwater boy,etc...you get the idea. (When I say boy, I mean 21 and up)

Designate some for my church, grandchildren, son, sister.....I'd ensure that mother-in-law's home would be remodeled and that there was enough aside to keep round-the-clock sitters for the rest of her life... Then I'd spend a little on myself and my husband ......THEN...I'd invest....THEN.....I'd put some aside for round the clock sitters for myself and my husband for the rest of our lives if needed. ....THEN......(is there any left?)

I don't know that I would retire, but I would definitely go part time. I have no idea what I would do with the money, but I'm buying my ticket today!

I would buy some land for a really kewl field for Ultimate Frisbee. Then I'd spend a hell of a lot of time playing Dungeons & Dragons. Also I'd set up a company with good wages to employ low-income folks to, like, drive around the city and clean up grafitti and pick up trash and do landscaping at parks and along the roadside and stuff. Valuable work that needs to be done and that can help people earn an income.
But mainly it would be the D&D.
