$425 Million Powerball.................what would you buy?
« on: November 25, 2012, 03:42:58 pm »
No one won a $325 million Powerball lottery prize on Saturday night, so the jackpot will jump to a record $425 million for the next drawing -- and possibly higher.


WHAT WOULD YOU BUY?

I would hire the band "Rush" for a private concert,,,,,,what about you?

:o oh my god.... That is a ton of money. I think I would first pay off my student loans and then buy a new car. I'm also going to steal your idea, and hire my favorite band to play for my birthday  ;)

I'd pay off my loans, and donate a hefty amount to various churches and funds.

I would pay off my debt first. Then I would donate one third of the money to some of my favorite charities, and the less fortunate. After that I would probably purchase a nice home for me and my children, and make some investments.

I would build myself a custom home on land that I owned.  I would buy myself a Mini Cooper (LOL, just because I like them), I would make sure that the rest of my family was comfortable and got whatever they needed and, lastly, I would give some away to a cause or causes of my choice - most likely a Humane Society and a cause that helps Veterans.  The rest of the money?  I don't have any idea and wouldn't be in a rush to figure it out.

I would set up a trust fund to take care of homeless children all over the world.

First thing I would do is set some aside for my son's college education.

After the obvious debt payoffs for us an immediate family and charities-I think I'd buy a private plane/pilot to take my family on vacations.

I am hoping to get at least a million for the next play. If I win the Jackpot though, I will pay off my creditors, then buy my family a house. Then finally go on a vacation to the caribbean :female:

I would make my mom's dream come true by building her a log cabin. Then, I would get myself a dodge truck and fix up my 1992 convertible mustang. I would also quit my current job and find a way to work from home. I would also give away some money to the churches in my area and the schools too. I would use the money to help make the world a better place for everyone :)

I would pay off my bills, buy a new car, and save the rest for my children and family.  I would also donate the church.
