What would you do with the money if you won the 1.9 billion powerball?

[MessiahDecoy123]

What would you buy or invest in?

 

[C. Lee]

Some friends and family would get some nice checks.....then I would probably move to New Zealand.

 

[Detective Conan]

Buy a lot of really expensive ****.

 

[Bary]

Pay off all debt and just work out and go on a-lot of vacations

 

[Shinobi Shaw]

I would deactivate all my social media immediately, pay off my student loans and hop on a plane to a tropical island and live my best, private life.

 

[Spider-Fan83]

always wanted to try namebrand peanutbutter...

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

First this I would do is take a month off work and travel

Long term, I would pay off my student loans & debts I have. Would also help out my family and buy a house. My primary goal would be to buy a huge plot of land that I would use as a ranch/preserve used to house and help abused & abandoned animals

 

[Silvermoth]

I would love to have a tropical island lair

 

[blueharvest]

Help out my extended family, then invest the rest of it.

 

[psylockolussus]

Build my dream house / mansion
Buy some properties that I could use for my renting business
A new car
I would use a million just for clothes and material stuff/collections
My family would of course live filthy rich though I would use the money more on healthy and peaceful living
Go to 50 countries (not the entire world, I'd limit it to the ones I really want to go)
The rest would be saved when I no longer want to work and medical bills when I get really old

I don't see myself investing in a hardcore stressful business.

 

[Mani-Man]

The discussion came recently up here in Europe too.
There our Lottery has 130 million or so in it, and with that of course comes the "what would you do".

I dont really know what to do with 130 million...almost 2 billion...insane.

Like, if i give my family 10 or so million each, do some good with it and buy all the stuff i want...i dont even know if half of 130 million would be gone.

I dont know if i would live a more expensive life if i could.
I mean i dont see the need for jewelry or expensive cars, but would that change if i would have enough money? I dont know.

Im not living bad right now, but i know there are things i cant buy so it never even crosses my mind to think about them.
Would that then change knowing i have the money?
I really dont know.

Investing some of it seems a good idea.
Maybe i would create a video game company or some other business i think will keep the money flowing if anything happens.

 

[Scarlet Spider]

Just got my ticket!

 

[BrollySupersj]

I would go to Japan, buy the rights to Bio Booster Guyver, and make a live action tv series with loads of gore and practical effects. Then hire a talented gaming developer to make a Guyver video game. Then do the same for Guyver action figures.

Oh and new house and car, eat lots of seafood, etc.

 

[Holiday]

Would give family/friends some money, travel, buy property including having a house built and would include a shop and the tools to start working on cars as a hobby. Would invest into the S&P 500 for easy gains. It's fun to think about but the reality is that it would be a headache I'm sure. That reminds me, I'd get a lawyer asap.

 

[BrollySupersj]

How would you all choose to take the money? Lump sum, or smaller payments for life?

 

[blueharvest]

Definitely lump sum.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

How would you all choose to take the money? Lump sum, or smaller payments for life?

I would take smaller payments which makes it harder to extort or steal all the money.

 

[squeekness]

Pay off all the family debts. Buy a house for anyone in the family who doesn't already have some. Give some to the church, some to the food pantry. I'd like to buy a big piece of land so I can rescue a ton of dogs and other animals. Stuff like that.

 

[Immortalfire]

Move into the middle of nowhere, live off interest, and never be heard from again.

 

[InCali]

Build a house and open a community center and pet rescue in Santa Cruz. Help out family and friends.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Live off the interest, donate to a select few. Find a way to wisely donate to society.
