Then they would realize the ticket was from the previous drawing ;)

Actually the winnings would be:
390MM lump sum, 195MM after taxes or
540MM annuity, 20.8MM a year for 26 years, 10.4MM after taxes for 26 years

I'd probably keep doing what I'm doing. But I'd zip back and forth to my private island in my private jet in my free time. :p

Lets be realistic, first thing anyone would do after winning 540 million dollars is crap themselves and then look at the ticket 500 times to be sure, then crap themselves again.
Then they would shower and throw away the crapped in clothes and check the ticket 500 more times and attempt to crap themselves but they would be out of crap by this point.
Then they would shake and cry and cry some more, then they would call all the people who piss them off and tell them a thing or three. Then sitting and shaking and crying some more.
Then passing out. Then waking up and thinking it was all a dream, and checking the ticket again, thinking that they misread the ticket and panicking about the phone calls that they made.Realizing that they did in fact have the winning ticket. Finding out they did in fact have just a little more crap for those pants.
Then acceptance, and joy followed by trying to figure out what the hell you do with 500 million dollars.

That's about right. Years ago I had played the win 4 for $5 straight and the number I played came out. My wife called and woke me to ask did I play it and with sleep in my eyes I hung up..jumped the hell up like I was on fire when i realized what she said..slipped and fell..then confirmed that I just won 25k. Wasn't enough to crap my pants but for almost 200 mil after taxes..I'm sure I could manage that. I wrote a list out a long time ago of things to do in case of a BIG win. Renting TV time and hosting the "Vince Says F.U. Show" is number 6 !
 
I have never bought a lottery ticket in my life, but i did today, 9 of them. I already know what i'm gonna do. Yes siree bob ! I gots me 1 year left till retirement. I'd go to work everyday & just say what i want, to who i want & make em fire me. Here's a question: since when are we taxed at 50% ?

Pay off all my bills.
Put 1 mil after taxes, aside for each kid, to be had after they reach 30 yrs old.
New car for wife & both kids.
Pay off bills of any family members that are worth a sh** ( working, law abiding, tax paying, productive members of society).
Get the kids a business & let them have at it.
Buy lots of property & toys for same. New house & pond too.
Trick out my Power Wagon with all the hardcore off-road goodies.
Buy an "Earth Cruiser", travel to small towns & meet people, who are like us (husband & wife working & trying to get by), then one day, tell them to call in sick, take them to the bank & pay off their house & vehicle. Repeat---over & over & over & over etc......etc.........
Buy LOTS of Becker knives, load up the Earth Cruiser & travel & meet my fellow BeckerHeads & have a blast.


I really don't think i could ever spend all that money, so why no brighten some other peoples lives & help others out.

given a 10 million tax payout ... i'd hire a lawyer, and figure a way around it... "i will pay you 9 million to make sure i pay 1% legally"

then i would just travel the world, and well, good times. frak you taxes ;) tax free bank account. never pay taxes again. lease property, not own it.

literally have nothing for which anyone can go after you for . except that 8000 acres of "non taxable" forest your estate is on :)

your welcome lol

funny thing is, I wouldn't buy all the kabars.....first......I would post a new thread in the exchange......SOLD and buy every knife on there....I'm sure I would come up with some rare/unique/awesome ones. Then I would buy the kabars....then....then i would have a few thousand acres and live in the middle of no-where, preferably somewhere without too many laws on guns and knives. Then I would go crazy buying customs designed by me lol, maybe even get something made with a new lock design I have floating in my head, though that shall remain secret till I can draw a good finalized sketch lol
 
That's so funny. My SO is in a work pool AND she insisted on buying some side tickets for us as well, and of course we've been playing the 'What would we do' game all day. Then I sign on here and see this thread! The one thing I didn't tell her I would DEFINITELY do is literally buy one of every Becker as well as 10 extra BK16s and 10 extra BK2's to try out different mods on. Probably buy one of every ESEE too and maybe finally try out 1 Sebenza haha.

There sure would be a LOT of boxes being delivered to my new mini-mansion...

I think I'd also buy every Beckerhead 1 Ka-Bar Becker of their choice, but I'd probably have the mods take everyone's order for me and facilitate it for me if they're willing (of course they would be handsomely rewarded). Who knows maybe even upgrade every BH's membership to platinum for them too (if they aren't already).
 
It would seem that the lottery would be the best thing in the world for me right now.

I would take the cash options, lose 60% right off the top, but get a big ass fat check and roll on without having to deal with it again.

I already have a lawyer, so, I would opt to get an accountant, 4 different credit cards (easier to keep track of that way), and cash about 5 million out in gold bricks, that I would have stored on my new property in my underground vault.

First thing I would do, is buy 3 large plots of land, one in Montana, one in Texas, and one in Argentina. Then, I would start construction on each, I have my own designs ready to go, that involve an underground bunker, with the house sitting on top. Montana and Louisiana would have those. Argentina, not sure, but I would imagine something similar, without the bunker.

I would bulldoze the house I'm living in, and build a nice little 4 bedroom. Since I have kids, I'd have to stay here while they were in school, during the summer, we would be either in Montana or Argentina. Texas would be my hunting lodge.

I haven't really though much about it. Really.

:D
