I'd buy my brothers as much acreage as each wanted to farm, find someone I trust to manage the rest and start traveling.

It's being reported now that at least three winning tickets have been sold. California, Tennessee and Florida.

Curious what each powerball winner actually takes home after Uncle Sam takes his 39.5%, and the state gets their 3-5% cut, also with other prize winners taking from the pot. 

 

It's a problem I would like to have, but I always laugh at the advertised prize and wonder if most of the people playing truly understand how much they will really take home.

Guys, I didn't win.

 

In other news, I didn't buy a ticket.

You guys were funny with the thought of buying the Jags. Even if you won it all, after you were taxed you would probably be a little over halfway to the amount to buy the team (assuming it was even for sale).

 

I would've bought a big piece of waterfront property and built a gigantic palace on it.

If I won the lottery I'd first ask how I got a ticket.


Then I'd probably pay off my house, put enough money for my daughters to go to college, go back to college myself, and then buy a new car.  Not an expensive one, but one that's about $20,000 or so.  I'd probably invest some, and donate some to charity too.


I was wrong about Trent Baalke.

Then what would you do with the other 200 million?

Assuming that after paying off all his debts and paying for college educations I doubt he'll spend more than a cool mil.

Cost of college would probably be about... $300,000.  Of course that's not accounting for the rise in cost.   So maybe $400,000. Oh yeah, probably put some of that for a car for each of my kids too.  And start a trust fund for them too.  I'd also probably pay for college for this one student who I know who lost her parents when she was young and can't afford to go to college.  Oh and I'd vanity publish this book I wrote.  


Guess I'm not really much of an exciting spender.  I'm sure my wife could find some ways to spend some more.

I was guestimating how much he would have had left if he were one of the 3 winners, lol

Well, it's over and I didn't win.  I did have my day planned though;

 

  7:00 am  Breakfast at Cracker Barrel (love their blueberry pancakes).

  8:00 am  Claim the jackpot.

  9:00 am  Call Shahid, make a deal to buy the team.

10:00 am  Sign the deal, assume ownership.

10:02 am  Thanks Gus for his service, tell him he's been reassigned to an exciting

                  new position promoting the new ice cream factory at the stadium we'll be building at the

                  stadium. Ben & Jerry started in an old gas station, why not?

10:05 am  Yell out "SOMEONE GET TOM COUGHLIN ON THE PHONE"

11:00 am  Wave goodbye to LEO.

12:00 pm  Hold a press conference, promise the fans the team will remain in Jacksonville forever.

 1:00 pm   Call Goodell, tell him I want out of the London commitment.  Sorry to disappoint the fans over

                 there, but I want a Superbowl way more than the extra profit.  No one who's all about winning

                 would ever voluntarily give up a home game.

  2:00 pm  Announce a fan contest for a new uniform design featuring TEAL  (nice prize for the winner).

  3:00 pm  Send Meyers to the grocery store to pick up a ham.  If he comes back with a shank portion,

                 he's history.

  4:00 pm  Show Tom his new/old office.

  5:00 pm  Tell the players and staff they're ALL going to spend one hour after every home game signing

                 autographs and taking pictures with the fans.

  6:00 pm  At dark, combine 53 hideous. mustard-colored uniforms, 2 gallons of gas and 1 match in a

                 dumpster in a  parking lot outside the stadium.

 

 

 

 

 


When you get into the endzone, act like you've been there before.

I'd buy a specially equipped RV with enough HP to tow a smaller vehicle, and hit the road for months to tour the country, taking in as many baseball and football games as possible. I'd make sure my route passes through legal marijuana states on regular rotation.
