...the billion dollar lottery?

Me, we’d set up monthly or annual payouts to most family members. BIL, whose good with cash can decide if he wants a lump sum, maybe 20 mill, or be on the payout plan.

Keep it simple by making it impossible for a family member to take out a loan against their payouts. Not gonna have Alyssa come to us in 3 years and say, “Unc, I’m outta money, my business tanked, can I get some more cash?”. 🖕🏾

Hire two good law firms to watch over each other’s handling of our winnings.

Friends get gifted stuff on a whim.

Keep farmin till it's all used up.

When I came home and told the wife that I'd won the lottery.
She said she was divorcing me and taking 1/2.
Since I only won $100, gave her $50 and told her to get out.

All used up?

SMH 🤦‍♀️

finance the building of the largest primer manufacturing plant in the world, goal: 10 bucks a thousand in 4 years.

As the Indian in Dances with Wolves said....”Good Trade”

Does Pastor Mitzy approve of you gambling, buying chances?

Nice!

I don't and won't play but assuming I did -

Set up my nieces. Plenty of money that they get when they turn 30 or can draw upon to pay for school, in a degree we approve of. No 500k gender studies degree.

Retire my brother and augment my dad's retirement - we do nothing but hunt all fall together.

Set up my son - he'll never have to work if he doesn't want to but I suspect he'll want to at least have a farm with horses. So we'll do that.

Set up some scholarships at the local private schools. Get some kids in there that couldn't otherwise. Subsidize some adoptions, hire a lawyer to do nothing but sue democrats. Stuff like that.

Me - I'd buy a nice place in AK, learn to fly and get 2 aircraft. One on floats, one on tundra tires. Probably both Huskys or something (variation of a Cub but with HP). Spend my time in the woods, gun in hand contemplating my own navel.

Lol

I actually thought Wabs was gonna tithe it all to Maser.

First, the feds grab 25% before you ever see any of it. How much more you owe next April needs to be determined by a tax expert. Then your state grabs it's share. That's high variable and hopefully you live in one of the few states with no state income tax. Next, you need a tax expert to figure out how much you can give your relatives while avoiding gift taxes. It gets a bit complicated. So, worst case, the tax man gets as much as half.

You ever seen the movie Arthur? That.

Umm, yeah, that’s a known and comes with winning.

Question was, ‘what’s your strategy if YOU won?’

Somehow I’m not shocked by this ☝🏽

I’d like to submit my resume to be your Butler, if you win.

Taking care of family and friends first.

Then I'm gonna own a lot of land in Iowa, Kansas, WI and MN (along the Mississippi).
And I'm buying Rio's ranch in TX.

Flave, would be begging you to be named head caretaker of the Rio Ranch.

Lol

I'd also want something like what Jeff Foiles had back in the day on the river - straight murder some ducks.

I'd give a ton of it away, Shriners and St. Judes mostly I'd think. My family would never worry about money again and I'd share many hunts with friends. I'd own a bunch of land too.

I'd have a place on Erie (waterfront) with a sweet azz Walleye boat.

Donate it to research for a viable penis augmentation surgery with the caveat that I get 10% royalties when they come up with it.

Put a new roof on the house.
