What would you do with $1.6 billion dollars?
The Mega Millions jackpot drawing on Oct. 23 has soared to $1.6 billion
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/current...its-really-go/ 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

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. Markus |

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

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. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/taxe...ots/ar-BBOJ1gl Here's the tax bite on $1.6 billion Mega Millions and $620 million Powerball jackpots Quote:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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