I’d get 100k in singles…. Apple-tinis and strippers for EVERYONE!!!!!!!

Sorry to correct you. The first thing you should do is consult a lawyer who has expertise in tax avoidance and estate planning. He/she probably will recommend creating a family corporation that would own the tick. You also will be told it’s vital to create this before you “drive to Tallahassee” to cash the ticket.
This advice is free, unless you win.

I hear you John, strippers and booze it is!
April 19th, 2006 at 9:55 am
I’ll skip the strippers for myself, but i’ll generously send a few to editengine.
Booze is good…I’d be throwing a major party!
After that, practical stuff. Consult a lawyer, get the taxes squared away.
And then, I will do nothing for a few months while I think about the money and let it fester.
After that, I’m going to buy up all the available beach land and keep the developers from building the hell out of it.
Like Morgan, Colling and Gilbert, I’ll return all the beachfront property to the days when it was genuinely FOR THE PEOPLE.
Oh.. and I’ll probably buy a bunch of new cars.. always did want to own a different car for every mood.
what the hell, it’s a fantasy.. nice while it lasted. Here’s a toast to the winner, remember us, will ya.

I read a story last week about all the poor slobs who win the lottery and declare bankruptcy within five years. Is that because most of the people who play lottery aren’t educated or money-wise in the first place? Sometimes I think money causes more problems than it solves.
However, I’m in on the strippers.

1. Donate $ to save the elementary school in Mom’s hometown which is in danger of closing
3. Buy one piece of art work by John Singer Sargent, even if it’s a very minor pencil sketch.
3. Should have enough left over for a nice dinner with the husband.

If TimesLite wins with their numbers, do they promise to quit?

My wants are simple, I want a Segway.

I only want the money if nobody else knows I have it.
