    Powerball at $500+ million

    For tomorrow's drawing. If you won, what is the first thing you'd do?

    I'd hit the first flight from DSM to Vegas (after putting the ticket in a safe deposit box of course).

    Cut a check to the athletic department and get started on bowling out the south end zone.

    That didn't take long to come up, wouldn't be the FIRST thing I'd do but it would be on the list if I were the sole winner.

    On my list of ways to spend it, bowling in the end zone would be about 1,509th on the list.

    The first thing I'd do is hire security.

    Re: Powerball at $500+ million

    Move to a community of other millionaires so i blend in. but i feel that i would get bored and my liver wouldn't be able to hold up.

    so I would.

    stay here, buy ownership in the company i work at but only 20 hours a week and work my golf game. too young to retire, but don't want to work 50+ hr weeks anymore.

    Re: Powerball at $500+ million

    Assuming $250 million lump sum after taxes... Pay off all our family's debt, plus all my brother's and parent's debt, plus all my brother-in-law's and parent-in-law's debt. Sock a bunch away for nice early retirement and daughters' tuition. Possibly start my own business. Lead donor for south endzone. Might build a new house. Buy a boat. If there's anything left, two chicks at the same time.
