What will you do if you win $1.3B in the Powerball?

[Metalhead]

I will buy a dream home and donate to causes assisting LGBT people with their lives.

I don’t think my ticket will win the jackpot, but it’s a nice dream.

What will you do if you won that jackpot?

 

[Misery]

Donate.

I sure as heck wouldnt be holding onto it, that's for sure. I swear, it seems like everyone who gets really major wealth and keeps it soon goes mad. Dont know why. Not gonna find out.

Spread it around to those who need it instead.

I would buy a modest home, get my existing cars restored to like new quality, pay off all my debt, open a coin shop, pay off my parents’ homes, then I would invest half in S&P 500 etfs and live off of dividends.

After taxes on 1.3 billion, you might end up with 600 million

With the other half remaining I would invest in a manufacturing facility in the US and build durable high quality products with a well compensated workforce.

On to grandiose ideas:

Any profits would be redirected to expanding operations and setting a new standard of quality for products made in the US, and more importantly setting a new standard for employee compensation with wages adequate for comfortable living and quality healthcare.

If such a company made enough money I would lobby congress and the senate to end or dramatically reduce corporate lobbying. Before that I would also lobby to have a standard tax rate for personal income, corporate income, and small business income.

"What will I do if I win the jackpot? I will jump up and down yelling, "I won I won!"

"What will I do if I win the jackpot? I will jump up and down yelling, "I won I won!"

Not I. I would change my name and my face, and disappear.
