There's a SNCO that I kind of hate. He likes to spend his days looking at boats on craigslist. I'd probably buy a really nice boat, rub it in his face, and then potentially never use it.

buy the boat he wants, rub it in his face, then sell it to him for a lower price. then watch as the associated costs of owning a boat sink him completely :getin:

Winning the powerball and having 800+ million dollars seems like it would be a chore to actually spend all that money. I mean 800 million, that's a lot of loving cash. Unless you're handing out massive checks to your family or literally buying up huge companies, the thought of actually going broke for a middle aged man with 800 mil seems like you'd have to work at becoming broke, and with normal idiot spending you could probably get to the age of 70 or 80 and probably still have like a million left in the bank.

you become rich, you probably blow 15 million the first year *house, cars stupid poo poo for the house, vacation* but after that, your yearly expenditures probably don't exceed 6 million and that's being generous. so in 20 years you'd have spend 120 million on top of the 15, which leaves you with 665 million and you're only 40...


I dunno, I'm probably thinking too much into this.. If I win i'll host a GiP house party with a cool 3 million party present to each of you. BYOB though

Of the eight thousand powerball memes I saw on facebook this week, one actually made me smile. It was a picture of a dog shelter where all the cages were empty and open, and the text was something like "Who's with me?" :unsmith:

Drive in a Trans am to St Joseph on the Brandywine Cemetary to reach Mr. Biden's resting spot. Park on the grass, atop at least one adjacent grave.

Exhume the body. Set aside for later use.

Take one pair of ensign's epaulettes. Smudge with cocaine, then snap in half. Toss into pit.

Shout three times loudly, "Ukrainian energy board membership is not a conflict of interest!"

Whisper at the coffin, once, "It's 2016. Your father needs you; the white house needs you."

Hunter will appear. Shove him in the grave, drive away quickly in the Trans am. Drive. Beau will be in the back seat, but do not look in your rearview mirror or the ritual will fail. At Dawn, Beau will be with us again.

This. Me and the ol lady would buy up a ghost town in the west and convert it into a dog rescue. Itd be like a little 300 population spot off in the prairie. The general store would be ran by the dogs. The saloon would be ran by the dogs. Each dog gets a house, the workers have to stay in a labor camp.

I'd go 125m for me, with 100 in a long term fund and T-bills, 25 for walkin around money

Probably kick 1-5mil to select family (siblings and parents) and start a 50 million college investment fund for nephews, nieces and kids of friends that they can borrow against, but have to repay depending on GPA, like a 4.0 and it's free, a 3.0 and you pay me back 25% of what you borrowed, a 2.0 gets you paying me back 50% and flunking out/taking more than 6 years for a 4 year degree has you pay the whole thing back.

The remaining 300 mil I would use to fund a few businesses I've wanted to start forever, invest in real estate and other things dependent upon price, like how much it would cost to start a harem of Katie Perry, Allison Brie and any hot female lead on any given Spanish soap opera

Never give money away; give away things. People see money and think "well that was some, how about some more?" but things - houses cars education etc. - you avoid it. There are so many accounts of family feuds and spoiled friendships because the original benefactor becomes the greedy one for not sharing enough (cash).

If they require a personal appearance, first thing to do is hire a publicist. Have them advise you on how to make the required appearance the worst TV possible, and hopefully kill off a lot of the news stories.

At the personal appearance, take a lump sum minus taxes in cash. Burn it all in front of the reporters. Announce that you have given the gift of slightly reduced inflation to the people.
