Okay, So You Won The Lottery....

What do you do? Just picked up some Powerball and Lotto tix across the Fla. line. Powerball is up to $110 Million. Let's say you hit the numbers and after Barrax Obamanu takes his share, you're left with what...roughly $50 Million and some change? Cash money. In the bank. Mine, mine, all mine. So....

whatcha' gonna' do? You hear all kinds of stories about what people do, what happens to them. Been reading lately how one poor dude most likely got poisoned for his winnings. You always hear about long lost friends and relatives coming out of the woodwork to renew old acquaintances. Some people keep right on working in blue collar jobs, saying the money won't change them at all.

Do you take care of close friends and family? What do you consider "taking care of" or helping out? Do you keep working? Do you buy a fleet of bad ass vehicles? Do you pay everything off, build your dream mansion and build a fence between you and the world? Do you retire to wherever you consider to be "paradise"? I know some of the things I'd do right off the bat, but I tend to think that having been out in the real world, I'd have better sense than most of these athletes who come into huge amounts of $$$, having never held the first job in their lives. So...how you gonna' start spending?

I'll tell you what I'd do, man: two chicks at the same time, man.

Move to the Cayman's before claiming the prize. Then go from there.

We don't have unsecured debt, so nothing really to pay off other than mortgage. Completely fund kids' college money, and my high end nursing home money. Make sure parents and sister are ok.

Then: Buy some land in the wilderness, build a bunker, and hunker. Be away from civilization when I want to be. Share in a Lear jet for those weekend getaways when I want to be social. Season Auburn tickets.

I'd probably work on a contract basis to keep the brain functioning - my job is flexible like that. Would also consider volunteer work at an animal shelter or similar. Maybe build a retreat for returning soldiers to have a place to get away to with their families and decompress.

Might go to law school and then be the meanest criminal prosecutor on the planet. Since I am independently wealthy, I cannot be bought or corrupted. Big sign on my office wall - Fuck 'em. No deals. Make your case or don't.

Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I were a millionaire I could hook that up, too; 'cause chicks dig dudes with money.

The best thing to do is supplement my income with the interest. Continue to work and don't freaking tell a soul, especially the ex-wife and my mother. They be gold diggers.

Just the house, a small car loan and a minimal student loan to wipe out. Handle mini Snags college fund and make certain kids are set for life, if they so choose. Or they can blow it all, I don't care. Fix my house up the way I want it and then buy the super bad ass beach house of my dreams.

Auburn tix and most likely, an Auburn box. Watched one game from the rich peeps box and yep, I could handle that. Friends and fam? Whatever the family members need or want. Friends? Meh...only a select few who have always been there for me. Work? Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft.......

Invest in sub prime lending and junk bonds.

Step one: Hire best trust lawyer, accountant and investment banker I can find.

Step two: Have trust buy all real property currently owned by my immediate family. Pay off all their debts.

Step three: Buy gameday house in Auburn and begin talking to the administration about what my $$ is going to get me.

Step four: Establish a law firm for shits and giggles (and to employ friends).

Step five: Open "hobby" bar in Destin for personal honky-tonkin'.

Step six: Whatever else the fuck I feel like.

I was thinking about buying AJ's girlfriend.

Buy the X, put in a warn meter, and monitor all your sorry asses!

I'm pretty sure that it will be a coincidence but when I do win the big one, I suspect we will have the #1 recruiting class for many consecutive years. Is it too soon for this?

I didn't win lotto but I made a nice profit when I sold my business in Birmingham. Had a standing tee time every morning and was in Superior Grille drinking by 1:00 every afternoon and I will tell you what I learned.

If I hit lotto after doing the obvious of figuring out how to keep uncle Barry out of my pocket as much as I could, I would put my friends on a lifetime stipend. It sucks to have all the time and money to do whatever you want and all your friends are having to work.

Give a big chunk to churches/charities that I like. Invest in tax free bonds and live off the interest. Buy this...

and pull it with this...

get the wife a set of these...

and have her sit on the back of the boat topless while I fish all day everyday.

I see the people out here who can afford it the least playing the most. Stupid waste of money but if I was to play and win.

Kick-ass season Auburn football tickets with a suite for the X-gate group, which would most likely be only good for one year as I donâ€™t think they would renew us.

I would buy ITAT (Change its name to ITAFT) and grandfather in everyone from the X with our rules just for us. Which means we can do what the fuck we want to over there and they canâ€™t. With my purchase I become a moderator and wreak holly fucking havoc on the douche bags over there now.

Buy Snaggle the best pair of balls available.

Buy Kaos a very super keen car.

Buy Buzz the best bottle of Jameson out there.

Hire sheet rock guys for Shug dye.

Buy Wench the best that Nookies has to offer.

Buy GH a permanent baby sitter for those nights they want to go out. (Especially when we are in town)

Why none to my family, because they are already fucking leeches now and I havenâ€™t won the lotto.

You wound me. But the thought is appreciated. If I win, you get a lifetime supply of blue moon and 1 new super keen car per year for life.

A hell of a lot better than yours...
