jhulud Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Being that the Powerball jackpot is at the second highest it's ever been (I think), it's obviously the thing to talk about and topic on almost every other site I've seen today. So...what would you do if you were to hit the jackpot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brock N Roll Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Build my dream home and then invite big stinky muff over to listen to some rock stuff. taylo234, littlebistro, cymbalism15 and 5 others 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 I know I wouldn't tell a soul I won. Only my parents and my oldest two friends would be privy to it. I sure wouldn't do the public announcement nonsense with holding the big-ass check. Fuck that! Pay off student loans. Pay off credit cards completely. Pay off car. Buy house. Travel. The question of keep working always comes in these types of discussions. I like my job. Would I keep working? Maybe. I'd be less stressed for sure knowing that I'm debt-free.

zacaroo21 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Well...if you opt for the cash straight up you'd get like 320M before taxes (which you'll pay about 40%). So 192M in actual funds... Still, I'd be able to afford anything I wanted and live off pure interest for the rest of my life. I also promised my dad a 90" television.

It's state-by-state what you have to report. In MN you have to state your full name and city of residence. No photo or anything like that.

collectivemike Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Oh man, I'd throw a rock through the computer I'm typing on right now. Then kick over the rest of the stuff on my desk and sprint out of here never to be seen again. reachforthesky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattisr1984 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 It's state-by-state what you have to report. In MN you have to state your full name and city of residence. No photo or anything like that. ya, i was going to say im pretty sure it differs by state as to whether or not you can remain anonymous. i consider myself a pretty private person but when i think about it - if i just won 550 million or whatever it is - id be so goddamn happy that i dont think id care who knew. endure a press conference and then pretty much do whatever i want to do with my time for the rest of my life? sure, sign me up for that.

jasonsheperdbfl Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Pay off student loans, Buy a house and new car, quit one of my jobs, and probably just hang out. I'd also give my parents a bunch of it. Help them pay off their house, buy my dad a new truck, send them somewhere cool on vacation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I would give like 90% of it to the Innocence Project/children's hospitals and I would send my nephews to college. That's about it. I would buy a lot of weed, albums and recording gear with the rest. donttchange 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donttchange Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 ^probably what I'd end up doing. Buy myself a fleet of classic japanese cars too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviex2shoes Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 If I ever won that amount of money I would definitely split it with my family and my wife's family. Like give everyone (brothers, sisters, parents) A million dollars. Then keep enough for us to survive without working and stuff for the rest of our lives like figure out like a million dollars max for the next 60 years. Then donate the rest to various organizations, or start an organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjb2k1 Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 also, i'm a pretty big fan of not working, so i'd probably give my company like 6 weeks notice instead of 2 so they could find a decent replacement, etc, then PEACE OUT CUB SCOUT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turnstiles Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 I'd donate 5 million to Autism Research, 5 million to Cancer (Leukemia centric) Research, 1 Million to the Wayne Foundation, then I'd start a label, finish my film. Buy my Dad's house and buy everyone in my family new electric cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I couldn't find a clip of the original with the Prince tune, but this about sums it up...and yes, I would gas you all at the end too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronniegwilliams Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Pay off credit card debt, legal stuff, and student loans. Pay off my mom's house and buy her anything that she's ever wanted. Probably find a good financial adviser. Buy a bunch of physical bullshit I've wanted for awhile: guitars, records, motorcycle, etc Purchase a billboard of just my stupid face above every major highway in town.

withengineheart Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Buy the wedding dress, clear debts, charities, start an underage music venue, finance an archeological dig, see what's left of the 7 wonders, empty my Discogs want list, purchase a Les Paul (white with gold hardware and trim), stock up on Twinkies, buy a round at a full bar of strangers on me.
