Megamillions-what would u do with the $$

[seagrovelover]

First of all I would help out family and friends no matter what. I would buy a house in Seagrove, and one in the smokies (maybe Gatlinburg) and of course the lake of the Ozarks here in MO. My kids would go to the best schools, my husband would no longer work ( deer hunting full time?;-) ) and I would buy a new beach cam for Grayton beach !!!!!!!!:clap_1: *just to name a few*

It's funny, but I never gave real serious thought to winning that kind of money because the odds are so stacked against people, so I never play.
But I am going to throw away $50 bucks at it for funn since the drawing is tonight and I guess you have to be in it to win it they say.

After setting up family, Mr. mango and I would probably figure some kind of business venture, since we like to stay busy, but we would think about while traveling I think to avoid the barrage of calls people get.
I would probably go to Australia, then head over to the South Pacific, until we were traveled out and missing family and friends.

I would probably get involved in some philanthropic work and then dispurse funds to charities as needed especially for Lyme disease research and awareness as well as Autism research, and help families that can not afford treatments and diagnoses.

Of course we probably would buy a house in SoWal that overlooked a dune lake and the Gulf. I would probably keep my current house and just build a small Disneyland on my property for my nephews.

I would supersize EVERY time I visited McDonalds.

It would be highly unlikely that I would win, because it is my understanding that first, I would have to purchase a ticket. However, if I did hit it big, I would take the lump sum which is probably 1/3 of that, pay half of it in taxes to the stinking IRS, which would leave about 35 million to share. So I would form a corporation with my family and several of my friends to avoid gift taxes, and I would kick back and relax and leave excellent tips at my favorite dining establishments. I would also try to keep the shelves stocked on a few homeless shelters in one of my favorite towns.

Do you consider me one of those friends SJ? J/K......you don't have to answer that.

I would pay off all debt, set up my family, buy a house, guess where? Quit work, move to the beach for the rest of my life. Do volunteer work. Yada, Yada, Yada.....it sure feels good to dream!!!!

I was going to originally say that I would invest in off-shore gulf drilling, open a "fur farm" and start a shark safari company, but I was afraid I might get some abuse on here. So I will not say those things.

The New York Megamillions is up to 165 Million. Think I may have to buy some tickets.
So the question is if you won that much money (all of it) what would you do with it? ;-) honestly

Invest some of it, then buy a piece of property to start my life long dream of owning my own canoe and kayak store in it.

You forgot a "Crap for the beach" business.

Or maybe just throw it to the sharks?
