I'd tell you what I would do man. Two chicks at the same time.



I just knew you were going to say two guys. I bet you've done 5 guys though a few times.



You're always invited.

Convince you to edit your title so it reflects the correct jackpot of $500m?

I buy millions of turkeys and drop them out of helicopters on Thanksgiving day so all the people could eat delicious turkey on our most gluttonous of holidays.

I would buy a ticket to space and look into investing in one of these private space flight companies.

To be able to have a small impact in the beginning of a new frontier, that would be exciting and very satisfying.

To be able to escape the bounds of planet earth, and to just be able to journey to the doorstep of a new frontier that was formerly the land of the gods.

Is a testament to mankind.

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

Give almost half to the government, unhappily.

Then travel!

I'd immediately spend half of it on graphic artists to make the most awesome "lol u jelly" gif the world has ever seen.

invest it and make my family comfortable, give to charity, maybe take some time off and try to write a book or something.

I'd do the obvious things- college education trusts for my kids (maybe even grandkids), pay off the house/student loans/etc., and buy the property/house/etc. I've always wanted.

But that would hardly even touch that amount, even figuring after taxes. I'd set aside some in investments in order to live on the interest, and with the rest I would create or work with some kind of charitable organization. Exactly what kind, I couldn't say, but I've always been interested in helping people become self-sufficient.

OMG that would be the most awesome. You could call it the Irony Foundation.

Before or after taxes?



After getting the lump sum, and paying taxes, it's probably down to about $280M anyways.
