Pay off the house, pay all bills, put money in an account to pay for taxes, household maintenance, utilities, etc so I never again have to worry about the house, or bills. IF the house or yard needs anything, I just call "the guy" who takes care of it. Also get the best health care and long term care insurance possible.
If there really was enough money, I would buy either a P-38 Lightning, F4-U Corsair, Spitfire, Mosquito, or Mustang aircraft and flight lessons....it would depend on what was available when I had the money...any one of them would thrill the bejeebers out of me. Maybe a Konigseg auto... |

I'd buy a spread outside of Seligman, Arizona. I'd a big shop like my family had back on the farm with lathes, mills, a surface plate, etc.
I'd do nothing but work on, build, shoot, etc, 19th Century single shot rifles. |

I've roughly figured out how I would split up my jackpot.
50% goes into properties. Mostly one massive parcel, somewhere out west, with a very comfortable, but modestly sized house, along with some select farm and ranch lands I buy around the country, and run by locals who already know how to farm the crops of the area. In the fall I'd travel round my different farms, having them teach me how to do various jobs. The income from those properties would pay for additional land accumulation, and wages for all my employees. 25% goes into a fund, and I use the dividends for charitable giving, at my discretion. The final 25% goes into another fund, whose dividends are my "income." I'd spend that on whatever took my fancy. Building shops, buying vehicles, guns, whatever. A few luxuries I would have: Regular cleaning service. A private chef, who will teach me how to cook whatever I want, or make meals when I don't feel like cooking. A massive, well equipped machine shop, with an expert machinist who can teach me how to make anything I want. And probably all sorts of other things. |

Pay off my debts.
Put everything else into a trust for my daughter. Keep appraising houses and playing with old cars in the garage. |

Quoted: I’ve known my plan for years. Fly private to CA, buy a trophy truck, pay for all the tickets driving across the country. View Quote Would have had Mike build me a Class 1 from Jimco, they do Trophy Trucks too. I just prefer the buggy @NEASGNoMercy ETA: After following Austrains advice... One of the places I owned would have plenty of tractors to just go play.... Everything from a small Ventrac to a D8.... They all are fun. |

I only have one thing that I would absolutely have to do if I won the lotto. That would be to hire Batman to find out what really happened to that bitch Carole Baskins husband.

I'd buy a boat. Nothing in the world that's more stupid, it's the stupidest
|

Carrera GT and whatever my wife wants to drive. My current Miata would get a full overhaul, an awesome paintjob, and an LS swap, she has been super good to me compared to every other car I've owned.
After that, It's time to find a lawyer and an investment adviser. |

A new land cruiser for my wife, a trophy truck for me to drive around town, and all of the property that surrounds our family ranch for at least a few miles. Then I’d get into the important stuff like guns, nods, armor, and other stuff.
|
|
Dumb stuff?
Buy some of those missles that drop little bombs to crater airstrips and modify them to drop ar15s in little parachutes and fire them over blue states. Fund research to create a real non allergic dog for my son and a unicorn for my daughter. Pay for some big fund raiser so my wife can meet Trump. Drive the overland trail |
|
Pay off all my debts including my kids debts then give balance to wife and say never ever ask me for money again!
|

First stop is meeting with a lawyer and an accountant, Second stop is to the lottery office, 3rd stop is to get my new class a motor home and Toad. Plan is to find a piece of property. Then pay my father to be the general Contractor on to build a house on it his payment will be immediate retirement. I’ll travel the country with the wife and dogs until
It’s done. As much as I would love to buy a super car I just don’t see me using it in a beneficial way. I would focus the next month or two on getting a pilots lic and building a bush plane, with it without the loto it’s been one of my life goals. |

Start actually paying off those "would you stay here 30 days no internet" memes. I would pick random forums, post one for a reasonable amount of $10k, then first person that can drop everything and go gets to play

1: buy the plane I'm going to mysteriously die crashing

Stupid things I'd do first:
HK sear pack BN2 Islander Porsche Panamera Semi-rational things I'd buy next: Vacant lot on Lake Hood House on the Anchorage hillside Hangar at Merrill Field Cessna 180 on floats Practical thing to buy: Safe investments... Stupid things I'd do later: Race cars More Race cars Airplanes |

As for something stupid, I would track down the Tahoe I drove in high school, and have it completely rebuilt. My folks sold it around 210,000 miles.

i wake up with $100 million in my account?
within 24 hours.. 1st action. i REALLY, hate moving, so, i would not move to a new bigger house, as i love my current house, but i want more privacy. so, id just make all my neighbors move instead. id walk to each of my neighbors houses within a mile of my house, and write them a check for 2x market value of their property. they would have 1 week to GTFO. id bulldoze their houses and plant trees and high fence in the entire place with heavy duty 8' industrial chain link fencing topped with razor wire, and a perimeter road for patrolling it. id be comfortable with blowing around $5-$10 million on land. that would buy me 3000-4000 acres to hunt and play on, even after including the houses id demolish. id plant food plots, have it stocked with high quality animals, id high fence it and be generous with the local town have it patrolled by the sheriff to keep tresspassers / poachers away. second action.. contact a company to build me a milspec fallout shelter in the hill above my house, and connect it to my house with a tunnel, blow about $10 million making something nice, complete with underground garage, also build a really nice range. third. Buy myself a few fully operational tanks. like a platoon of sherman tanks, all fully operational, with working machine guns and main gun. plus a armory full of NFA weapons. forth. buy a small island in the carabbean, build a off grid vacation paradise, and buy myself a sea plane to travel back and forth, so i wont have to deal with commercial flights, or even airports. just have a short strip behind my house and land in the ocean at my island getaway. id fully outfit all my shit top to bottom with prepper supplies and not give a fuck about anything anymore. just have fun, hunting, fishing, traveling, etc. |

Hmmm
1. Pay off house, 2. Pay off car and/or huge medical bill. 3. Send checks ranging from $1k to $10k to close family members (parents, in-laws, siblings) as a gift/to pay back times they've helped us out. After that.... hmm life would be very exciting and stressful. Have to deal with protecting it, investing some of it so that I keeps making money, a diverse portfolio, depending on the amount, maybe moving to a larger place/more space, fences, security, etc. to protect us. Plan out some vacations, not right away though. Change jobs to part time, like a few hours one or two days a week. Idk, working without any money concerns would take a whole level of pressure off it so it would just be doing it for the joy of the work, the purpose, and helping people. |

1- "bring me the gun of John Rambo"
2- 911 Turbo and Lexus LX570 3- trip to 4 Rose's and Buffalo Trace to pick a couple barrels 4- waterfront estate and cigarette boat 5- hookers and blow 6- whatever the fuck I want |

1. Buy Arfcom membership.
2. Finish buying my Grail guns. 3. NODs and Armor. 4. Around 200 acres of forest and farmland with chickens and cows. 5. Build house, barn, and fully-equipped shop. 6. Invest the remainder so that I dont have to work unless I want to. |

How much did I win? I probably wouldn't buy anything really stupid, but if I won something like 10 million or more, I'd buy a big house with enough land for a range, and a few more cars. And maybe a boat.

After purchasing an Audi R8 Spyder in White and a beach house near Lido Key in Sarasota, Florida.....the rest of the money goes toward the establishment of the new dominant political party in the United States........the "2nd Amendment Freedom Party"
Nothing else you buy matters if the Socialists take over |
