If you won the Mega Million, you would....
 
the "ole boy" said he would go out and get some King Crab Legs with lots of butter, stay right here in our "little yellow house" and spend the rest on those in need (really really in need)

Be back in TV in a flash

Spend at least 3 month intervals sailing around the carribean.

hire people to manage the mess it would cause...

skyguy79 12-16-2013 07:45 PM

I'd buy a new butt. Mine's cracked!

Seriously, I can't really say what we would do as it's inconceivable that we would ever wind up in that position. However I can say that considerations would be in the mix for our son, for charity and a set investment where we would only use the interest so as to insure we would always have enough to live off of comfortably. Beyond that careful thought, consideration and caution would be applied before any significant expenditures were made.

breathe a big sigh of relief for us, our family, and friends

We would give our kids a huge chuck of money so they would be set for life. We would pay off all of friends house & car and give them money so they could afford to travel the world with us.

I would buy a few more homes in my favorite places, Catalina Island, Mackinac Island and anywhere else I fall in love with.

I would donate a considerable amount to the Humane Society and Disable Veterans.

Love to give it away to folks who really need it! Like the gentleman who put $20,000 on the layaways at Walmart. What pure joy that would be!

I get so much joy in giving - it would be even bigger and better if we won the lottery. My husband and I want for nothing - we are not rich, but just content with our lives.

We are so very blessed.

George Bieniaszek 12-16-2013 09:25 PM

I would take half the money and spend it on Wine, Women, and Song!!!

The other half, I would spend foolishly :D

jdsl1998 12-16-2013 09:27 PM

I have always said..."I considered myself rich when I had enough money to have a.c. in my house and a garage for my car in the winter" Everything else is an extravagance. So, I'd take a small trip and contemplate, ending up with a list of where to do the best in the world for the causes I care most about and give most of the money to those causes.

Barefoot 12-17-2013 12:36 AM

If I won a lottery, I'd buy a huge farm in Kentucky and provide a home for animals used in Lab experiments.

Ecuadog 12-17-2013 09:26 AM

Once, I jokingly told my wife that if I ever hit the big one, I'd take the money and run and she'd never see me again.

She said, "I'll find you. I'll just wait in one bar, any bar. You'll be in eventually."

Mega Million
 
I'd throw a big party, invite all my friends and have them bring a covered dish….hehe

10 Things To Do When You Win The Lottery - Forbes

I suppose I would proceed with great caution if I won some obscene amount of money. Would love to see a bunch of cathedrals in Europe as well as some of the religious monuments in other parts of the world. I would expect though with those kind of riches you would always have to be careful about someone kidnapping you or your loved ones or taking advantage of you in some way or another.

Crassus is a good example of what happens to those people who crave riches beyond anything else. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Licinius_Crassus

I would give big chunks to the people I care about. Then I would buy a house in The Hamptons on Long Island and another one in The Berkshires of Massachusetts. I would possibly also buy a small villa in Italy. I would give my house in TV to the first person to come along that wants to live here full time and not rent it out.

jpharmat 12-17-2013 04:44 PM

I would buy up lots of Florida land and open an animal sanctuary.

The Great Fumar 12-17-2013 06:41 PM

Honestly, I'd probably buy Gary Morse a cigar !!!!:thumbup:

skyguy79 12-17-2013 06:59 PM

If I won the Mega Million I'd buy The Great Fumar a St. Bernard that digs chicks (shown below), a years supply of BARF Dog Food and frozen steak bones, a dog training course (for Fumar) and a super duper pooper scooper with used pickup bags!

Kirsten Lee 12-17-2013 07:05 PM

I think we would payoff the bond. ;)

tpop1 12-17-2013 07:06 PM

Does Scrooge McDuck's vault evoke a scenario ... I can really envision that scene!!!

jebartle 12-17-2013 07:30 PM

Buy TOTV

BarryRX 12-17-2013 10:16 PM

I don't think many people realize how much money this is. Right now the payoff is $636 million. Even if taxes cost you 50%, you still walk away with $318 million. At just 5% interest, that generates $16million a year, or $306 thousand a week, or $45 thousand a day. So, for those that say they would go out for a nice dinner, well the way to do it would be to board your private jet and fly to Paris for the evening and eat in the finest restaurant you could find, and invite 50 of your best friends to come along! Whomever wins should make sure they invite Gracie!

I would give a large amount to my son so he could retire instantly, and be available to hang-out with. Also several friends, who are family to me, so we could all hang out together.

I probably upgrade my house, and contract all the workers needed, for upkeep.

I probably wouldn't do much differently except maybe travel the world. I would love to go to Europe, Switzerland and the Far East.

After what's money, if you don't have it, to share with people you love? I wouldn't get crazy with extravagent meals, as one must done what's necessary, for their continued good health.

I would make sure, I remember the word, "NO", as many people would crawl out of the woodwork with their hands out. I think it's sad when non immediate family members say, "we hit the lottery".

Is everybody French?

jblum315 12-18-2013 04:32 AM

I would offer to pay off whatever it is that Morse (or the CDD's) owe the government so that Village residents wouldn't have to pay it in assessments or whatever.

Cisco Kid 12-18-2013 06:07 AM
