Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What are you going to do with the 900M?

$1.4 Bil...

LOL i'd buy all the cows that are run on our place and then shoot every last one of the worthless PITA creatures....

Ranch in Saskatchewan, ranch in northern Missouri, and a ranch in brush country Texas after I took care of my family.

waking Ned Devine its a heck of a good movie!

spend it while its still worth something...

I'd buy Northern Dave and have him build me cool vehicles for the rest of my life.

That might sound cruel but I'd maybe flip him 6 or 7 figures a year and do a lot of hunting and fishing with him.

Well I am not that lucky, but I would first call the investment bank that has been managing a small trust fund for me the last 48 years- I would then follow their advise! I would then delete my presents in the internet, toss my cell phone, wipe my computer clean, then cook the HD! Since I have no debts- there is nothing to settle-then just leave! Start over some place else, in a quite remote place- and in two or three years once it settles down, then think about what I really would want to do or not do! I can do a lot of thinking On Slough Creek- second meadow with an RL Wilson Cane Rod say an 8'6" 5 wt! But like I said I am not that lucky!

1. Make a substantial donation to Wounded Warrior Project...

2. Find the meanest Junkyard Dog Attorney in Minneapolis and make my ex wife's life a living hell until the day she died...

3. Restore my 1988 4 Runner...by Northern Dave if he'd take the job...

4. Take care of a few special people's lives for the rest of their days... ( they are old like me, so it may not add up to that much)....

5. Take care of our Scout Troop...

6. Set up the funds for a young man I know in Boston, to be able to complete his college degree and pay for his tuition ( etc) for Harvard Law School....

7. Buy me a few more Super Sniper Scopes.. tell SWFA that Schtick Sent me...

8. Make a road trip to meet a few campfire members here, that I'd like to meet face to face... Travis, GopherGunner, Crimson Tide, Dave in WV, 4ager....already had the opportunity to meet a bunch of great forum members, here in Oregon, up in Washington, down in Arizona and New Mexico and at Ed Too Many Letters down in Texas last may...

9. Visit England where I lived from 63 to 66, go back to Scotland and Ireland...go to Scandinavia, Australia and New Zealand...and a cruise to Antarctica in the southern HemiSphere summer...

Yes, I can imagine it.

While not "Powerball", it happened to my wife back in the late 90's in what California called "Pick 6". She got five right, then the last number the digits were switched, something on the order of her having "01" on her ticket and the 6th pick being "10" or vice versa. $32 Million jackpot should have been ours. I'd have never heard of the "Campfire". I'd be on a hill in Hawai'i overlooking the Pacific and dreaming of catching tuna tomorrow, or hunting pigs or goats.

As it was, we didn't complain much. It was good for $2200 and we had both recently graduated from "starving students" to starving underlings. My wife took us here for the night:

And paid some CC debt.

PS, now what to do with that 1.3 Billion? Let me think, Hawai'i? No, perhaps buy my own island and declare myself the Grand Wazzzoo!

OMG...she has a zit on her left cheek........

Update to my earlier posts. A friend of mine told me that the first thing one should do if he hits the Powerball is to call up everyone he knows and ask to borrow $500 before the win becomes public knowledge. It will be the last time you ever have to have any contact with most of them.

Now up to $1.5 Billion. Over $500 Million after taxes, including state taxes in most cases.

It's worth $900M if it comes with pretty blonds.

Are you insane? What is the point is borrowing money and pissing of all your friends?
