The Florida Lotto is up to a stiff $82,000,000.00  . (I think that's 82 Million). :icon_smile_big: Anyway, while helping my buddy pick up a bunch of cars he bought for his used car lot, we were talking, (dreaming out loud), about what we would do with all that cash..  He just wants to buy a place on the lake and spend all day fishing. I have a few other things in mind.

1) Get my back fixed.
2) Line up the best bunch of doctors I can put on the payroll.
3) Start looking for my new place for the 1/2 million square foot shop. Did I mention a house yet?
4) Set up the shop for total restorations for everything MOPAR.
5) Start on the engine shop. Where are my dyno guys??

Now all I have to do is WIN. ;)

Well first I'd take the lump sum over the payments that lottery's do.  And generally speaking the lump sum is about half of the original sum so we're at 41mil.  Now the IRS is gonna take half of that so we're at about 20.5mil. 

With that remaining cash I'd buy myself a huge ranch north of here a ways for about 2-5mill depending on how big it is and raise bucking horses.  After that I'd buy either a Daytona or a Superbird (something I had to fix) for some fun and probably buy my mom and dad an old Vette.  I would rathole the rest of the money in banks after that and live off the interest.

   
When I was just a very young lad I looked up and told my dad, a bareback rider's what I wanna be.  I want the whole world to know about me.  In the rodeo arena I'll make my stand.  I wanna be a rodeo man.  I'll come flyin' from the chute with my spurs up high, chaps and boots reachin' for the sky.  Spurin' wild with my head throwed back, you'll ask 'Who's that,' well that's Bareback Jack.  You'll ask 'Who's that,' well that's Bareback Jack.

Same except that I would make sure that NO ONE except immediate family knew that I won. Then I would:

1. Finish and pay off college
2. Buy my parents a new house
3. Buy myself about 500-1000 acres near Reading, PA and build my dream house with a HUGE garage full of Snap-On tools
4. Finish my Charger and buy two more so I could have a street car, a concours show car, and a drag car
5. Buy and finish my grandad's '41 Plymouth Vert
6. Start a restoration/engine shop
7. Make a college fund for each of my sisters and cousins younger than me
8. Invest everything else and live off the interest, restoring and playing with Mopars happily ever after...

Buy another Mopar.  Or 7.

give a ton to everyone i know, then keep my house here in maine and figure out a way to put a 27 car garage in. buy my pop a 65 mustang cause for some reason he's always talked about one. buy my mom a bowling alley cause she's 65 and still carries over 200 average.  take car of my nieces and nephews whom i don't even know(navy 19.5 years, don't get home much).  work on cars full time and write a book on "yo momma so fat jokes"(check the lighter side) :icon_smile_big:
Life isn't Father Knows Best anymore, it's a kick in the face on a saturday night with a steel toed grip kodiak work boot and a trip to the hospital all bloodied and bashed.....for reconstructive surgery. But, what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger, right?

I guess I get to keep on dreaming. They just played the numbers and I ended up with diddly.. Oh well.. The numbers sucked AGAIN so maybe they will roll over once again.. We have lottery twice a week here. 53 numbers to pick from. You pick 6. 12 years ago when I moved here it was once per week and you picked 6 of 48 numbers. The first time we played I got the first 4 of 6 straight. I was shiPPing my shorts. That time it was up to 38 Mil. I wound up with $14.00...

I would buy an island with a missile defense system, and have naked women running around making adult beverages all day.  Sounds fun.

   I would give away half to people I know and family, then if I spent it all, which happens to a lot of winners, I would have a lot of friends left, instead of people that resented me for not sharing any, and them having to see me have a GIANT garage and a ton of awesmome cars. 

    I would invest at least half of the half I didn't give away and live off that interest.     Mostly though, cars, cars, and more cars. 


Why would you want anything else?  Just give me a Charger and I'll be happy.
