What would you do with $1.6 billion dollars?
 
The Mega Millions jackpot drawing on Oct. 23 has soared to $1.6 billion :o

Plus the California Powerball winning lotto ticket is now up to $620 million someone said that winning the lotto when it is this big is like putting everyone's name in America (man, woman and child) in one of those big a big dimpsty dumpster's and then reaching in and they pick your name. 😯

I would buy every business in my small town and rename it Quatro Valley :yep:

I would probably spend way too much time saying no to people.

First of all I would give Neal and Subsim a huge contribution.

Then I would buy an island and invite those(not to many) I like and live there for the rest of my life. and hopefully my friends will do the same.
And of course
With lots of animal around me.

I would do the opposite, I would reserve $50 million for myself and then have a ball rewarding people I appreciate.:Kaleun_Cheers:

I thought the tax bite would be higher ... perhaps 50%, but this says different.

I don't think I would take the thirty (30) year option ... we don't even know if the ground we stand on will still be here in 30 years.

Here's the tax bite on $1.6 billion Mega Millions and $620 million Powerball jackpots

Quote:

The immediate cash option for Mega Millions is $904 million. The federal withholding would reduce that by $217 million. For the $354.3 million Powerball lump sum, it would mean $85 million getting shaved off the top.
The chance of winning both lotteries is at least 1 in 88 quadrillion (that's 88 followed by 15 zeros).

Well.....I could use a new pair of shoes. :D

Finally buy Jim that deodorant.

Truth be told, probably spend my way into an early grave. But it would be a wild ride!

em2nought 10-23-18 12:46 AM

Everything would be put in order, and I'd blow this pop stand. :D


Oh yeah, I kind of liked the idea of those three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri so there'd be some sarcastic billboards showing up anywhere they might trigger a certain audience. :D:D:D

I would probably donate a lot of it to Russian Navy, they really could use extra money.

Jimbuna 10-23-18 06:45 AM

Set up my family and friends for life and give the rest to those mostly in need.

Bleiente 10-23-18 11:51 AM

I would set up the environmental organization "GreenWar", order and buy a type 214mod from TKMS (including the 300 million maintenance order), and seriously threaten the Japanese whaling fleet first. :o

Then I become known as buccaneer "Crazy duck" and create a great mess on all oceans. Arrgh!!! :doh:



:haha:

Mr Quatro 10-23-18 11:55 AM

I would have a big extravaganza party for subsim members only in Hawaii :up:

I would of course foot the bill and pay for everything round trip plane fare , hotel, breakfast, lunch and dinner, transportation trips to the USS Missouri and the submarine on display there.

Then I would get Reece drunk and entice his wife to run off with me to Hong Kong :woot:

How can one then imagine this donation... :hmmm:
Will there be a select set of six sheet-gold coated heavyweight torpedoes with handwritten insignia of "ikalugin" on Putin's birthday?!?


:haha:

Platapus 10-23-18 03:20 PM

I would spend a bunch of it on cheap women and expensive booze. The rest of the money I would probably waste :D
