Plenty would show up and pretend to be, you'll probably be better off without them though.

I'd buy a nice but modest house in the Texas Hill Country with plenty of land and another place on St John USVI with an ocean view....and plenty of cocaine and hookers.

I think I'd create a conservative foundation, I wouldn't spend much money but let it grow and create a political legacy.

I bought a ticket.

Take care of my parents, brothers and sisters & families, fund some upgrades at my church, give a boost to the local food bank. Family would be debt free. I have some medical things that I could afford that would be good to have addressed.

Probably give some to local school districts and sports programs. A couple of groups from my college years might get a bonus, but the university can forget it.

Thinking I would buy a couple of residences in a couple different parts of the country, hedge my bets a little. I'd be here as long as my parents are here, but I want future options. Drier climate in the summer would help me out.

Aviation is in my blood but never had the money to make it happen, so I'm sure I would be working on a private pilots license with my free time.

There are a few friends who would be getting some bonus checks.

If guns aren't banned by then I'd probably end up starting a gun company.

Maybe go into business with Icom and get them to build the radios I want.

Send Bill Whittle enough money so that he can get heard by every American. Find out how much it would cost to get him to guest host the EIB.

First, I would pay off my parents' mortgage and set up the best round-the-clock in-home care money could buy for my mother and relieve a great deal of stress from my father. I owe it to them.

I would designate half of it (after taxes) to every pro 2A case I could possibly fund.

A small portion would be invested into my dream busines.

A portion would be put in trust for my closest friends' kids college funds, and I'd pay off their homes with a "not another dime afterwards" agreement.

A significant portion would be invested.

Finally, I would buy a large property away from town, build a defensible position, and enjoy working for myself (I'm one of those people who would probably die without work to do) and living my life.

You win this lottery you can look at much more than 500 acres. If I win I'm thinking a few thousand at minimum.

Well for land I would buy a zip code somewhere remote.

For guns, just an hk sear and a few hosts

cars, Aston martin db9 is about it

A nice condo at a beach

ammo, yes all of it.

I would keep my house now as a base of operations, but the only two neighbors that I can see would get an offer in the mail to move away and their houses would get flattened.

I would bury anyone who ever pissed me off or ripped me off in lawyers until they were penniless, then I would fly around and piss on the graves of the rest that are already dead.

I can dream can't I?

1) buy blockbuster franchise
2) run blockbuster franchise as tax umbrella
3) buy Delorean
4) buy missile silo and do full renovation

Why not be weird as fuck? That should leave me with enough remaining to keep the blockbuster open for another generation

I’ve had a few ideas in payback for former coworkers like buy house next to theirs, grease county zoning to allow me to install electronic billboard, 24x7 flashing lights with “douchebag —->”

Too much to list but to start:

Island in the Bahamas $30-60mil
Shit ton of land in the US $10-50mil
Bunch of NFA weapons and gun stuff $5-25mil
Bunch of muscle cars $5-25mil
Bunch of Unimogs/Deuces/Off-road vehicles/SxS's

That'll start.

If I was lucky, I’d end up with 185’ish million after the divorce or I should say that my dog would end up with 185’ish million after the divorce. I’m sure my dog would want a nice house on a 1,000+ acres, a couple of super/hyper cars, guns, a range, and a new mom a few times a month.

Just to put things in perspective if you get the cash payout and can manage to have $500 million after taxes, and you can't by the way. That would be 0.0017970550% of the National Debt.

You'd need to win it about 56,000 times in a row to win. And, if you could manage to win a 1 Billion jackpot, twice a week until you've paid off the $27 Trillion, it would take 533 years to do it.

Several thousand acres out west, with a nice log home in the middle of it. I’d probably have a place on a few acres in south Florida to winter at.

Family and actual friends would get several million each.

A few modest homes in different warm states. Most of it is going into investment. Put money back for all future travel needs. Retire. Fuck working for wage with even a half billion.

Like, the first big actual purchase? I'd buy a badass camper van. I really like the Winnebago Travato 59GL. I'd find a new one somewhere and fly out to pick it up.

I'd try to find a nice ranch or farm somewhere in a nice free-ish state. I'm not sure I'd stay in Texas. Maybe Tennessee?

I think I'd have to get a private pilot's license and a few planes. I'd really like one of those sailplanes that has the electric motor in it. That would be cool AF to fly.

Probably would buy nothing, pay off my house in the 'hood, and keep living in here with not a concern in the world.

Why is this a question?

You win a billion dollars, so you pay off your $200k mortgage, and then don’t know what to do?

Start buying businesses that need some cash infusion to grow. Or that are in industries that are poised to grow.

Invest in real estate.

When the money starts rolling in from that stuff I'd start buying politicians. Probably start local and small and work up.

Start buying media companies, radio stations, etc...

Start a contracting company for ex-special forces to do stuff......

Only after I had a good solid income stream from that stuff would I buy "toys". And no way I'm wasting money on big ass houses and supercars, unless from a purely investing standpoint.

I know a guy who just sold his company for 1.2 billion dollars.

He gifted every family member ( inlaws, too) one million dollars, because he knew they would eventually come asking.
