So, many of us believe somebody's got to win the Power Ball tonight. Hypothetically........... What would you do with a cash payment of $800,000,000?

Tax accountant some say....who can you trust to bury all that cash?

where do you bury it?

what would you buy?

Old guys?

Young guys?

Build my dream home on a bunch of land. Invest the rest, retire and live off interest and leave it all to my son when I pass.

Buying me a damn nice hunting ranch and a damn nice lake house.

I don’t know. I’d like to think I’d have nothing to do with it. Money like that, that isn’t earned, has a tendency to ruin people. But, I’d probably fall for that trap like anyone else and blow it on stupid [censored].

Armoring up as many dozers as possible.

You could buy a decent truck with all that.

Claim the money using an LLC which is owned by two or more irrevocable trusts. The income taxes are gonna be paid no matter how it's claimed, but this would make it worlds harder for scammers, etc to figure out who the actual winner(s) were.

Invest in dividend paying stocks, rental real estate, and let the passive income flow!!!

I would buy a big ranch in Colorado or Southern New Mexico, buy a rural property in upstate New York and probably buy one here in South Texas or the Hill Country to winter in. Probably buy an estancia in Argentina in La Pampa or near the Chilean border

Buy a lake house on Lake of the Ozarks or Table Rock.

Then buy a Jet to get to all these places.

Spend my spare time hunting all kinds of exotic animals in exotic locales.

I'd buy a huge grow and possessing facility and live life like The Miller Beer Guy

You'd be living the high life........

Investing? Interest?
If you netted $285M and put it in a checking account and spent $95k a month; it would last 250 years.

I would not be thinking about what to spend it on, I would just go fishing. And from this point forward I would not do much else besides hunt and fish, and I would not worry one bit about the price of it.

I would not be worried about big fancy homes or fancy cars, I would not have time to think about it. Too busy hunting, fishing, and loving every day.

If I need a truck or something i just buy it and keep going.

Give a whole bunch of it away to family & friends, buy a nice ranch in Texas, northern New Mexico or southern Colorado, ranch in the Ozarks and a house on the lake and ocean.
Donate a lot to the Republican party and to certain charities.

That’s true. Fords aren’t cheap, but they aren’t that expensive.

Give 10% to my church and set my son up for life. I'll have fun on the rest.

10% to a worthy charity.

I'd wipe clean the debt of a whole lot of friends and family.

Mortgages, medical bills, credit card debt, student loans, car loans. I would put them at owing zero. And then tell them to not ask me for anything again.

I'd have a ranch in Montana to be at during the summer. And another one in the Trans Pecos Region of Texas for the winter.

I'd hunt, fish and shoot all over the place.

And I'd pay to learn to be a helicopter pilot and also buy a helicopter.

Almost exactly the same for me

I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.

Vermejo

I'd send it to The Ukraine

Good whiskey, hookers and cocaine. Then I’d probably waste the rest.

Probably get a nice class A diesel pusher and Jeep then continue on our same retirement path of volunteering in national parks. Most would go to reputable foundations related to reading and history for young people.

I literally would give the majority of it away to friends, family and catholic charities. Only thing I would buy is a ranch somewhere and a plane.. Simple stuff

You will beed to turn the girls loose shopping for a bit!!

After taxes I don’t know if there would be enough left over to swing that.
