Well, you've crunched all the numbers. What would you buy first? A new truck?

 

[Latestarter]

A nice long vacation...

I will never know but if we were to win the only things we would want is to take care of our kids first and then buy some acreage with a lake access. We have everything we want at our place except for a place to fish and also call home.

I was thinking the same thing!

I was reading about the do's and donts if you won. First rule is, tell no one. Second is to have a trust set up to accept it for you and then put it in a bridge trust so its harder to find out who won it. And dont forget to get good lawyers.
I also saw a story about what happened to.people who did win. Most went broke because of mismanagement, new found friends, new found relatives, or out right killed. So first rule of win, shut up, and tell no one sounds pretty good.

No matter how hush hush you are about it, the old saying always holds true. "You can't hide new money".

Y'all know @Latestarter is going to tell us if/when he wins.

Something about a man who goes commando, wrapped up in $100 bills, can be mighty attractive...….

First I would give to a church I attended years ago that I always liked. And I am not a big churchgoer in general. Then a farm, so we could have things all in one place. Then, retire and get the stem cell treatments and see if they would work. Then, let my son retire so he could try to get the treatment he needs to get over the headaches etc that the workman's comp is fighting from his accident 1 1/2 yrs ago. Then help out some family members, and several people who have had a rough time. Then find some charities that I could support. Then give to some friends so they could enjoy a few things in life too.
Then maybe hire some help and a vacation to see some of the US, and one place I have always wanted to see, New Zealand, to see their grazing systems....

A friend of mine (in her mid-late 40s) had the stem cell treatment for her knee 3 months ago and was having great results until she had an auto accident and seriously injured the same knee. Accident happened only 2 weeks ago so they don't know yet what true effects the stem cell will/has had on the original problem.

made sausage gravy and biscuits... Yum! :

I love that type of eating! Good old cast iron skillet fare.
So, once you win, still gonna cook?? Yeah, I would.

That's almost TOO MUCH to win for one. Really, look at the crunching you did and then, remember this, it wouldn't make you happy. Now, a mil or 3 would be nice. That much for each kid...beyond that, it's too much to handle. That's why people who win BIG get into so much trouble by just trying to spend it all.

The fighting over $$ is huge...whether a big lotto or a big death benefit. Just brings on bad feelings. Having enough to be comfortable but sane, that's best.

Use CONTROL when you get the check -- email me for my bank account number. I'll be waiting.
