I must be honest....if I won that much money I think this hobby would most like take the back burner for a while.

There are just so many new things that sort of money opens up that my time would probably be filled with crazy ridiculous new adventures for the foreseeable future.

I wouldn't put it on the back burner at all, just have more fun doing it, #1 thing hire a few contractors and dudes to take over the honey due lists.

with taxes taken out --gimme my cash now --about 500 million dollars --half a billion dollars ...yep jed clampett kinda money

You basicaly only get 1/3rd of 800 after ALL the taxes.

 

[mtsheron]

It's roughly about 40% taken out. But even at that and 800 million...............I will take 480 million for sure. I will start my own metal detecting retail sales business even if it operates in the red to do as fun!!!!!

Taking the cash option gets you 500 million BEFORE taxes.

According to a news report I just saw, if I were to win here in Maryland I'd net about 325 million after paying State And Federal taxes.

And what would I do if I won it? I'd disappear.

Hi Friend!

With that kind of money I would be at Mecum's auctions also.
I would drive a different vehicle every day...Yes I would purchase 365 cars/trucks. I would also help out my family, friends (yeh even the in-laws..)
And donate a lot to worthwhile charities.

 

[toolmanbutch]

Now what do you think they would do with the Garrett Carrots!

I think I might could afford to persuade 5 Ellie Maes to jump in the cement pond with me....and give them all a Garrett Carrot as a bonus....

 

[toolmanbutch]

Playing the Lotto is just another way for the Government to Tax the Stupid. Well with this kind of money I guess I will be Stupid.

Just think sitting on a beach in your private cabana, drinking margaritas while you watch the hired help metal detect right in front of you. In bikinis of course. lol

I've never understood the logic-

"It's at 800 million, I've got to go and buy 20 tickets!"

3 million is not worth risking of a few bucks?

I have 1 ticket for each drawing, 20 plays in advance. That way I don't have to keep going to the store, and I have 1 chance for each game.

If I won the big one, I'd get really toasted and then hide a bunch of gold coins in the yard of my new mansion.

The next morning I'd (once the headache quit) go find me some really cool gold coins with my new detector.

Oh yeah, and I'd pay for world peace.

I am sure I could figure out a way to spend that money, the only fear would be appearing on that show showing winners to rags....lol

Yes I would have more land then the average person with a couple of humvee's to run around with!

That's good to hear.... I'll let you win at pool (every time), believe EVERYTHING you say and if you lie I'll swear to it... FOR YOU BUDDY!!!!!! Haven't I always been there for you... from cradle to grave FRIEND!!!! Your Ole' buddy Brad will be there.

I just heard that it now surged to 900 million, now there's enough to retire with an upside to do some good with the money. Now what would that be? My wife said she would provide clean drinking water to all our First Nations.

 

[GA_Boy]

Interesting---Not sure if I could survive winning that much. I'll let you know though if I do. Drinks for everyone---Coca-Cola.
