Powerball: What would you do if you won?
Would you buy anything crazy? Put it all away for a later date?

Re: Powerball: What would you do if you won?
I would buy a bunch of land with trees and streams and maybe a spring and spring fed pond and build a house on it. Not a crazy sized house, but our dream house, and then I would host primitive skills gatherings on that land once a year, so I would also build some structures. A bathhouse, a couple of non electric bunkhouses, and a couple of small buildings for inclement weather purposes.
And then we would get some chickens and goats and build the appropriate structures for them, and then whatever was left would be saved.
“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to."
"I don't much care where –"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go.”

We were just talking about this at lunctime at work. Don't normally play, but will be stopping to buy tickets on the way home today.
I would pay off all of our debt first. Buy a bigger/newer home in our area and a vacation home some place on the water where it's warm all year. We would both get new, not crazy extravagant cars. I'd buy a new car for my son as well. I'd pay for my son's student loans and for the rest of his college tuition. I'd put money away for the other two kids for college. We'd also buy a few investment properties as well. I'd help my family out that needed it. Then I'd travel as much as possible for as long as possible while the kids are out of school. Then from there I'd get a good financial person to help us invest and save, well I guess I should do that first. It's nice to daydream, I can't imagine in a million years what I'd do if I won 500 million!!
Put money aside for braces, prom dresses & tuxes, college, weddings, my grandkids, etc.
A chunk for 'retirement'
Help people we know who need it-family, friends.
I wouldn't 'pay off the house'. I'd definitely upgrade houses and pay someone else to pack us up and move us.
New car.
Freedom from contact lenses/eyeglasses surgery.
Bigger boobs.

We'd probably help out my MIL and my dad as well.
And then we'd buy an rv and go traveling through the US. We'd probably do some European travel as well.
