Plans if you win the lottery?

[nachtjaeger]

The PowerBall lottery is up over $200 million right now. I splurged and bought a couple dollars of quick picks- gotta be in it to win it, right?

Here are my plans if I hit the big prize:

1. Pay off all debts, and buy Mom a new house. Okay, there goes less than a quarter mil.

2. Buy the 80 acres across the street from us so we can build our dream house on the hilltop.

3. Quit my day job and run my new business full time instead of nights & weekends.

4. Hire Asia Carrera and Robin Coleman to do a video shoot at Studio 588.

5. Make the pilgrimage to Chester, IL.

6. Select a religious/ethnic/cultural group, become their beloved leader, then lead them on a crusade for world domination.

Okay, what is everybody else planning when they hit the mega-jackpot?

This has been the subject of several late night conversations between Dave and I. I'm not much of a "stuff" kind of person so most of the money would go into a trust fund for a particular charitable endevour. Then I'd take care of my extended family to a certain degree and maybe buy a new truck. After that, Dave and I run wild all over the world.

1. Stop working IMMEDIATELY.

2. Set up my family for life.

3. Hire a maid (but no, I don't care about having a new house or a new car or any of that).

4. Embark on a nationwide traveling spree that I'll plan with Google Earth and title:

"Mudpit Tours Of America".

1: Tell my boss to shove his job where the sun don't shine!

Take care of my family, then:

Buy Trollwood, install a few more pits, put up "Motel Quicksand", call for a producers/models reunion and fly everybody in, then hold a community wide party !!

(Not in any particular order)

Flaunt it to my former boss (who has since been demoted..(pfftt!!) with several voice mail messages.

Build a little league baseball complex with bus rides for the kids to home and back, (no parents allowed!!)

Put up a billboard across the street from my former place of employment with a picture of me waist deep in money smoking a cigar, holding up one finger, and smiling with the caption: enjoy your day!

Replace my computer and monitor!!

What I'd do if I'd win $200,000,000? Here, in my country?

Well, $40,000,000 goes for taxes
The rest I'd pay to bandits for they leaving me and my family alive.
The problem is not to do a mistake in finding the right bandits.
The best idea seems to start directly from the President and the Prime Minister. Unfortunately, they would take the money but never give me any assurance...
The Minister of Internal Affairs could be better choice... No assurance, though...
Huh... If only I could find the good bandits then, I hope, they could leave me some $10,000,000 at my disposal. I'd buy a house ($1,000,000), then go to travel around the world. Maybe I'd buy a house somewhere in Europe... I'd like Norway. But my wife likes warm seas. But I don't want to buy a house in any place where all the houses around are already bought by Russian mafia...

Well, fortunately, I didn't win a lottery

However, I'd like to win, say, $10,000. Or better $20,000

Billie! I'm surprised at you. Hire your own "bodyguards" (bandits) from all the combat-hardened veterans who really need the work these days. Make sure they have enough to eat, plenty to drink, and a warm bed under a roof that doesn't leak, and they'll follow you into hell. Buy yourself a Dacha and a politician or three, and live like a Boyar.

We have a real problem with the Russian Mafia over here, too. They risk either getting killed or spending the rest of their lives in an American prison- either of which I am told is much better than spending life in a typical Moscow apartment. Plus, they drive the FBI crazy by doing legitimate business as often as criminal enterprise, and making it hard to tell which they are up to.

I remember a few years ago they were importing tens of thousands of gallons of windshield washer fluid from Russia to the US. Finally somebody realized that it could be made here cheaper than it can be shipped from Russia! Turns out it was actually Vodka, dyed blue. They invented a process to remove the blue dye after they got it over here.
