That'd be amazing. The organizations would continue to help larger numbers, but I think when some random person goes out of their way to help a stranger, no matter how small, it affects them diffently than an organization. You can shake up their perspective about people, maybe inspire them.. you wouldn't help huge numbers, but could change the lives of a few families long after the money given is gone.Quote:

I've had a couple of scholarship ideas for a long time. I'd probably get those done as well. Maybe sponsor a couple of Jamaican Bible college students if they wanted to head off for seminary.
use the money and start my own lottery ticket scam
Buy a new house for me and one in the backyard for my wife and kids. My house would be big enough for a JTS scoreboard size tv
Change our phone numbers
Meet with a lawyer/accountant so that the money we do giveaway would be a blessing and not a burden to them. (tax implications, etc)
Pay off our debt and immediate family debt/mortgages
Set up education funds for nieces/nephews
Help out some close friends that need it
Replace the car
Sit for three months to contemplate what we actually want to do
Build a new house and travel travel travel
Probsbly some schollys for ISU students in need
You know the scene in Forrest Gump when Forrest delivers the check to Bubba's momma and she passes out? It would be cool to get to do that for a family that struggles to make ends meet.
That would be nice but giving shouldn't just happen because you win the lottery. For some people it's just naturally part of their lives.Quote:

I would give a bunch to charities and family's in need. Help family and close friends, fund SEZ project, scholly's in my wifes and I's name to help students, Volleyball only facility. I would keep half and give the other half away. I would take a charter bus to Chizik's house and we all get off the bus and when he opened his front door we all laugh at him wearing our Cyclone gear!! The wife and I would be set for life as I would talk to lawyers, investors, accountants, etc.
A bunch of hookers and a scarface pile of cocaine
Bus? You cheap ***! You just won $500M, you can charter a 747 or two. With that kind of scratch you gotta start thinking bigger. But, yeah that would be hugely fun!Quote:

I would bowl in the SEZ, bring back baseball at ISU, make sure I had way more than enough to live on, and give a lot to charity. Probs buy a plane, bunch of houses, someone to keep it all straight for me. :twitcy:
I would give foodstuffs to every starving child I ran into while sailing my yacht around the South Pacific?Quote:
