What did you buy? Another house? Hahahahaha I've got someone to wash my balls!

Immediate name change, followed by relocation to another city. Then live out my days in quiet, luxurious obscurity.

Spend? It's far safer to put it in mason jars and bury it in the back yard. Better still, put the winning ticket in a mason jar and bury it in the back yard.

If I won $325 million, I would buy TotalFark. The whole thing.

Ten years ago when I daydreamed about a huge lotto payout, I thought of things. Houses, cars, electronics, whatever. Now, it's more people and places. The relatives I could take care of, friends who have been there for me. And travel - Japan, Europe, Australia - what would it be like to see those places without regard to cost?

Don't get me wrong, while at home I would wake up to breezes off of Malibu Beach. But otherwise, it boggles the mind at the good you could do.

$325 million? How about THREE chicks at the same time?

to put in my "what I would do"...

1. wait to cash in.... and take a lawyer, Financial advisor and accountant with me. (I wouldn't go up to the lotto office right away, wait for people to lose interest in who won.)
2. give $5 million to Equasearch
3. Move far away

When you win that kind of money, all sorts of people come out of the wood-works with their hands held out.

Hahaha... I love these comments where people SAY they are going to spread the wealth to needy causes. But let's face it - what they'll REALLY do is give just enough to get the charitable contribution tax break, put most of the money into asset protection accounts and then ride off into the sunset in his or her Ferrari.

Don't forget to put the top down so you can stick out your middle finger while you're driving.

But then again, there are the usual idiots that blow their money away.

Getting Rush Limbaugh a real job also absent...

What would I do?

1. Take the payments. 29 Years of a multi-million dollar paycheck. Plus I'm young enough that dying before I get the whole thing is probably not going to happen.

2. Take 50% of every payment, put it in a 1 year CD. This will be what I use to pay taxes every year.

3. Take 25% and put it in a 5 year CD, plus add in whatever is left from the previous year's 1 year CD. The savings should be enough to cover me for the rest of my life.

4. Buy house in hills. I'll probably stay in Louisville.

5. Buy car.

6. Create a budget plan with some wiggle room and stick to it. As long as I don't fall into the give money away/do drugs/get sued by family route that plagues so many other big lottery winners, I'll be fine.

I love how people say they would pay off loans, splashing a few thousand here and there to catch up with bills that have been nagging them.

They dont understand the sheer gravity of how much a million farking dollars is, much less a sum of 200 million dollars. Thats why they all end up as coked up, alone and in debt...Idiots.

I wouldn't quit my job - I love what I do, and God knows that academics don't do it for the money. I'd pay off my student loans. Make sure my parents and in-laws are taken care of. Help my brother out, and a couple of other family members who could use a boost. Give some to charity. Be ultra-careful with everything.

My two splurges would be a decent car (mine is rapidly dying) and a cottage in the Canadian Rockies for me and Mrs. Tsunami Ditka. Oh, and we'd travel. So I guess that's more than two splurges.

I would move to Thailand. That money would let me live a life like a king.fark, even with a million, you can probably live the rest of your life in absolute luxury there.

Taking the payments is a retard move. What are you going to do when some huge scandal rocks the lottery commission and then all of a sudden, this years and next years, and the rest of the years payments cant be made?

What about the guy out whose plan was to become a billionaire by investing it all? I he 'planned' on keeping his old Jetta and paying off his house.

Seriously, I'd keep 1-2 mil and pay off all debts of my immediate family and try and put the rest in 1, 3, 5, 10 year CDs then it'd be like winning the lottery every year. Hell 10M in a 1year CD and you could live very comfortably off of the interest.

And about the friends nagging you part... you can set up an LLC or some other organization (the name escapes me) that can 'win' the lottery. Be looking for UFIA Inc to win some day.

Forget about the money for a sec:
Let loose a shiatstorm of earnest observations.

I would immediately place a 1 million dollar bounty on brockway's head. I have had enough of his trolling. Other then that I would prob just travel and get really drunk.

Give half of it to my parents, then finally pursue my lifelong dream of becoming a full-time dominatrix.

littlett's: tarballa: $325 million? How about THREE chicks at the same time?

Pencil me in for 108 million of the split once you win. I'll hep you find the other two girls if you would like for a portion of their split.

Note to self. 'Win the lottery'.

My to-do list would be:
1) Quit work, quietly pay off family members to never contact me again;
2) Relocate to the UK;
3) Invest in independent pubs to revive the Greatest Tradition Ever;
4) Buy manor house, staff it.
5) Travel the world, esp Europe's less traveled roads.

Children's hospitals? African relief? Literacy programs? Puh-lease.

Would you take $5?

I'd tell you what I'D do.

To all the island buyers out there, what kind of property taxes are you going to have to owe on that?

I might be wrong, but I thought most broke lotto winners lost their money because they couldn't afford to pay the taxes on all the shiat they bought

From a link in TFA: I'm all for luxury and living a life of leisure but if someone is rich enough and dumb enough to drop $3.2m on a necklace for their dog they should be executed and their assets seized.

325 Mill?

I would spend a mill on shoes, then invest the rest smartly, having gotten the stupid out of my system :)

Pssst! With $325m you could live like a god-king emperor anywhere in the world.

A pipeline would be built from the Guinness Brewery to my home. A moat filled with alligators and inside that moat, a fenced-in area filled with badgers and wolverines. A senator AND a judge. possibly my own state in Canada. Every copy first of Superman, Batman, X-Men, Spiderman and Fantastic Four that can be found (Superman, X-Men, Spiderman and Fan to light my cigars with, Batman because it's Batman). A pound of frankincense, just to see what it is.

Top notch list good sir. I do say top notch. I'd move to Ireland though, and I'd like to travel around Asia (I've never been).

Buy 2 really fast/expensive cars and crash one.

/that's about it
