If you won the lottery, what would you do?

Buy a house with a enough land to be able to build a five car garage with a four post lift and air tools. I would then buy three specific cars, 1972 Hemi Cuda convertible, 2007 E63 AMG Wagon and 1955 Mercedes Gullwing. I would also love to find a late 80s Jeep Scrambler to work on. 

 

Take care of family members bills and pay off mortgages of some of our close friends. Setup a charity to provide food to families and work with schools to make sure no child ever has lunch debt.

I'd pay whatever it took to get Tucker Carlson strapped to a chair with a ball gag in his pie hole, and have Jen Psaki verbally dominate him.  Take that, for a colossal waste of money that would be far more entertaining, pillow guy **** head.

 

In actuality it would be very boring.  Help out family that I like, build a smallish but awesome house with a huge garage/shop and buy a sports car, a stupidly big truck with a fifth wheel trailer to go with it.  And I would definitely hope to live long enough where I could one day go fish Kamchatka.  Also travel to more in general.

I'd definitely get a nice house on the water somewhere, upgrade my wife's vehicle, do a retro-mod restoration of a '69 Ford Torino GT convertible, hire some contractors to do some of the projects needed on our property in Orange county, VA.  And then take more grand vacations all over the world.  Going to Macchu Picchu in 10 days, there are lots of other places we'd like to go and the frequency of our travel would increase.

 

Would also make sure my family was well taken care of and give more to more worthy causes.

I was 8 years old when I went to Machu Picchu and it remains right near the top of things I've seen, natural or man made.  Incredibly poignant and awe inspiring.  And the journey there from Cusco on...  Enjoy that.

Probably travel, but otherwise keep a pretty low profile.  I've never been much for fancy cars or anything.  Would probably try to keep it as quiet as possible.  I live in an area where some people already have that kind of money (not us though) so it wouldn't be totally out of place.

 

However, both my wife and I have family that run the gamut, either people that are bad with money who would expect a bailout, or people who'd lecture us that we should give most of it to the church, as well as others, and I really don't want to deal with all that mess.  If we could claim it in a trust that would give us some plausible deniability, that would be ideal but I don't think Virginia allows that.

 

Assuming we could keep it relatively quiet, like I said travel, pay off the mortgage, some home repairs, maybe some fancy landscaping, and I'd play a crap ton more golf.  I'd quit my job and spend a lot more time with my kids, my golf clubs, volunteering at the little league field, stuff like that.  And even after all that, I'm still not sure what I'd do with the other $349 million, I've never been drawn to spending a ton on "things."  I could probably learn how really quick though.

Set myself up for the rest of my life with either a condo or house with live in help. Get a really nice car with a chauffeur. Take care of my family so my daughter doesn't have to work and can relax. Set my granddaughter up for life (trusts). Move the **** out of Texas. Not sure where but no where cold. Set up a trust to get pregnant women to abortion clinics who want one, even out of the country. Make it a not for profit so more people can donate to keep it going. Set up a clinic if necessary. Donate to a couple of other not for profits. Contribute to liberal politicians and an organization to fact check the Republican lies.

If I ever won, I wouldn't tell anyone and find a stupid reason for divorce.

Probably have sex with a pornstar or two, maybe even at the same time.

Buy myself a ticket into space. One way ticket.

If you start with your second sentence, you can solve your first one.

I don't know I'd I want to tell yall here because if it happens then you'll know it's me...

That's why I said I wouldn't do a bunch of stuff anymore. 

I'd probably lay in bed for a couple weeks figuring it all out.

Tuesday's jackpot will be approximately $530 million, the lottery said,  which can be delivered in annual payments or claimed as a one-time lump sum of $307.4 million. It comes after no ticket hit all six of the numbers drawn Friday night.

As for the question I would just disappear into a vacationing nomadic state. I would keep a laptop around of course but move from Airbnb to airbnb traveling the world. And not just spending thousands on things like caviar too. Living simply, like a local, eating street food.

 

Also yes keep a portion of 307m around in various markets to make my "money grow".
