The Powerball is soon to reach 1.5 bil by next Wednesday

[sir dooble]

it's like minus 45 percent tax plus like 5 percent state tax lol.

I don't think you'd turn your nose up at $6.5 million though.

lol i just think the way they advertise is very deceiving. Like, it's at probably 500 mil after taxes and stuff. I'm not saying that's a lot of money but that's less than half of what you're being told you'd win.

If I won the lottery I'd give my parents what they need to pay off their debt and move to a nicer part of the country. Then I'd get rid of whatever's left because I don't want it

[Donnies Catch]

tbh the first day of having that money cashed id probably go get myself a nice dinner, probably at the all you can eat sushi place nearby. i'd then focus on immigrating to where i have been wanting to live. thats pretty much it

My mom entered the powerball yesterday :O

[sorrel]

If I won, I probably give some money to my friends to help them out with funding their college. After that I would move out into a house of my own in a nicer area with my bf and buy a few decent looking cars. Then I would give a good chunk of it to my parents and brother so they can do whatever they please with it. Finally, I would probably just set us up for life and go to college for artsy things instead of engineering related stuff.

first thing i'd do: tell the few friends who still owe me that they're good now lol
2nd: invest 30% in blue-chip stocks, 5% in local businesses/organizations
3rd: <4% to build a house in grand haven along the coast
4th: <1% to buy a new ever-day car, an off-roader/tow vehicle, cafe racer, and at least 1 tuner/sports car
5th: donate/personally help the homeless & families in need
and then save the rest for travelling, fun w/ friends, basically money to spend on experiences

if i won i would buy mad max on steam

[The Resonte!]

i'd acquire antarctica from the world and make it my own country

There was a big af reddit post explaining what to do when you win BIG, and shows you examples of people who got loving harassed and cheated as quick millionaires.

linky?

what would you do with the remaining 99 cents

[Ipquarx]

If it was that big a jackpot I'd give most of it (75%) to reputable charities, and still have 300+ million let over. I'd invest 225 million and the other 100 million i'd spend on making me and my family's lives better.

Well here's how you don't be murdered: don't be stupid. Pay people well, and create incentive for them to work for you. It can work, just treat everyone with respect and be polite.

next up: kony 2016

you know, we never actually caught kony back in 2012.
