I've been thinking about what I am going to do after I win the $540,000,000 Mega Millions jackpot and decided that when I win, I'm going to do a give away here.

I also will need some security post haste so I'll be interviewing for that as well.

On my short list of things to splurge on are:

A mini gun, maybe two so I can mount one to a Jeep or something.
P51 Mustang
Lamborghini Countach and Aventador
Dodge Viper
Porsche Carrera GT
A few motorcycles
I'll design my new house
Vacation spot in Branson, Mexico, Virgin Islands and others to be determined
I'll open a gun shop and charge internet prices.

Obviously there will be many, many more guns added to the collection.


So, what is on your short list?

Really, if you win that lotto and are the sole winner, do the press conference, get your picture taken and then disappear for a couple of years...think Bahrain or Guam or something.

A big yard with 2 tiny houses at each end. 5 midgets in each house, that will play soccer twice a day.
I dont know why but when little people run I giggle.
Dont judge me

Former Army/ rent a cop. I work cheap as long I get paid in cash As for the short list either a decked out 2012 Z71 or a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited COD edition Rubicon. A Saiga 12k, 1 each of the M&P handguns, FN 57, and a 2 week long cruise to anywhere. I have always wanted to go on a cruise.

I'd back my friends and families dream business ventures.

They'd come up with a solid business plan and I'd back them, along with a nice salary, for 5 years.

If a business can make it past 5 years, they stand a good chance of making good.

Of course, my wife and kids and I would be set for life.

Pay off all my debts, parents and inlaws as well...

Then, I would buy a really large plot of land (gotta be 250+ acres) down around Farmington Mo...

Then build me a decent sized sustainable house, workshop and armory that can run off the grid,

Make offers to certain folks to build them a house on said land. I'll have too, would get boring without my homies....

Build a huge ass range 1000+ Yards, lots of metal/reactive targets, maybe a shoot house

Enhance my Gun collection/ammo stores

Preps and a Phat Garden

Pond/lake big enough to swim/fish in (helps with the sustainability)

Start gettting Lots of Excersise and training

I would not go all out on vehicles and other exotic crap (I'm sure I'd have a few rides but nothing High end)

Put away a ton of Silver and Gold

Give a bunch to a few Charities, Maybe start my own foundation for doing some good things.

Maybe a second or 3rd bug out home in different countries (would need to do a lot of reseach 1st)


Sponser a huge HTF Week/weekend, try and make it yearly event.... (Meet, shoot, BBQ, Bonfire, Party, etc...) Maybe make it a HTF Range for year round use... Depending on how many folks would make use of it.


Put in my ap to work up at Cedar Falls part time for free...

I figure why spend the time/resources to open my own shop and create competition for someone else that trying to make a living... If I can hang out at an existing cool place, sell some guns, mess with guns and talk to gun folks part of the day, I'm good to go...

The story would be - Some guy in MO won. His attorney collected the check and deposited in the investment account. We have located the money, home and cars he left to charity as well as members of his family who are still looking for him.

I would be found on about 1,000 acres, driving a four wheel drive, hunting, fishing and in general hangin out. Actually, I would have to work at something. I would go nuts. But I would have a heck of a lot of fun the first year or so. (And NO, my freeloadin family would NOT find me.) I would make sure my mom was taken care of though. You gotta have a lot of acres to hide on if they come lookin though.

Just sayin....

I'll make sure to stay away from Italy ( I think it was ), but I can tread water and swim very well.

How I would (hopefully) handle it.
Get check and invest in something low risk without spending a single damn scent. After 6 months quit my job and do whatever my heart desires.
I have heard too many horror stories about how winning the lottery has ruined lives. I figure if I can beat the allure for six months then I can beat it for as long as I will need to.

I would set my family and there future children for life . Then for Me I'd buy a Couple thousand Acres in Northern Mo or Iowa Put up a Thick ass concrete wall around it with no gates or Doors. My Family could visit me But no one and I mean no one would ever see my Ass again

I will buy a big farm along the Gasconade, Big Piney, Current, or Jack's Fork. It will need a tall bluff and grade level access to the river. I'll also buy a summer ranch and a winter ranch out west.

While those deals are in work, I'll buy a new sailplane with the best equipment possible in the panel.

Then a couple of custom pistols, maybe a Fabbri shotgun with naked women engraved on the receiver.

I'll also be outfitting a small machine shop with new equipment and tooling. It will be Homeland Defense Armory.

When I hit the Mega Millions...

Purchase a whole bunch of land on the Lake of the Ozarks, turn it into a compound. Hire a bunch of security (think 25-30 year old 5' 10" hot chicks) and purchase a huge amount of Title II weapons.

Ha! Never! I could easily blow ten million, after that we would just be living on the interest. I'd probably chicken out on buying the 400k Lamborghini though, I'm too cheap.
