    So, I plan on winning the powerball tonight. A few hundred million dollars may come in kinda handy.

    If you won the lotto, what would you do with it? Assuming I win the 345 million.......I would take the lump sum of basically 120 million after taxes.

    ME:
    Pay off kids college, house, couple cars.......roughly $200,000 total there.
    Open a bar. Not some coffee shop in the morning type of krap. A bar. With beer. And whiskey. A bar that serves bar food. $200,000
    Invest in son's hunting/fishing lodge. $1,000,000
    One helluva vacation. $100,000
    Beer wagon for me and my boys. $50,000
    Condo in Arizona. $500,000

    I have a good friend that is a trust officer at the bank his family owns. He would get a pile of money and his job would be to make me more money.

    I would quit my job, replace my dying truck with something reliable and quietly try to do some good.

    I would give quite a bit of money to the schools. Turf the football and baseball field. Stuff like that.

    I always thought of the ticket price as worth the time to just dream about the possibilities.

    Ballie Buddies - a rescue farm for Labs and basically any other kind of dog. Because everybody and every dog needs a ballie buddy.

    Plus a place at the beach and a nice place here in NYC.
    Pay off the kids' mortgages, put a good bit in trust for the grandkid.

    To quote Charles Barkley: Half of it on hookers and blow and the rest I'll just waste.

    Always said if I did win a big one, half of it would be put away as my endowment. The other half would be my play money

    I don't trust myself with $120 million. Seriously. I'd do dumb things with that much money.

    So I'd try to give away about $118 million of it and then live comfortably off the interest of the remaining couple million.
