ckf Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 With both Powerball & Mega Millions jackpots over 350 million this week I think I may splurge and buy a couple of tickets. I think the last time I wasted my money on a ticket was well over a year ago when Powerball had a record jackpot. It's nice to dream every once in a while, LOL.

Its fun when it gets big. What would everyone do? I'd become a mini Bill Gates and set up my own charity and decide where the money goes. As far as purchases it would mostly be real estate (hunting land). I wouldn't change my house or truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ckf Posted August 11, 2017 Author Share Posted August 11, 2017 I would take care of family first and then invest in real estate. Lets see, one house on a tropical island, one in the Rockies and one in New England. Yep, that should about do it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted August 11, 2017 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted August 11, 2017 I'd start a huge international charity that really is nothing more than a front to highly pay my friends and family all the while not really doing any charity work. I'd do this because the Clinton's are my idols. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always thought that a place on Winnipesaukee would be nice too. But the more I see about Lake Champlain, the more I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd also consider the south side of the cape and the islands for the same reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well twice a year if you count the scratch tickets Nicole's uncle gets us for Xmas every year. Nicole just found one from last Xmas that we haven't scratched because we can't figure out how to play it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet I didn't swim more than a dozen times the last ten years I lived on Ossipee Lake. I'm more interested in the boating and Champlain has plenty of that to offer. Maybe I could by a place next to Bernie if I hit the lotto The Cape is nice too as long as you don't try to drive there on a Friday afternoon/ night.

Zambroski Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Fuck. You know, I'm a pretty simple dude now. Not sure what I'd do with that kinda scratch. Spend millions in my own personal game playing keep away from the government extortion arm (IRS). Then probably finance my own personal kill squad and get busy "fixing" a bunch of shit (people). Man! Now that would be fun!!!! Add some real spice to life! It'd be kinda like like golf......make people "vanish" your whole life and still never get enough of them. WE NEED TO FIND THEIR HATCHERY!!!!

Gold Member BOHICA Posted August 11, 2017 Gold Member Share Posted August 11, 2017 Let the government have there cut, the rest would would split equally with my wife, and then proceed to make lamar odom's week in Nevada look like a church social. And If I make it through the week I would then buy a nice place in a tropical climate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
