Someone made a documentary of giving a bum a $ 100k. It was gone in like 18 months. People who have never had money generally piss away large windfalls like that. They buy vehicles, live expensively, buy homes for relatives, open failboat small businesses.

These 125 people...they would be friends of yours, or at least friends of friends?
 Because that sounds an awful lot like the federal government  Speed |

Speed The government takes. In this experiment , I'd be giving voluntarily. For science. But, an interesting note: the gov would tax the shit out of: -my winnings -each of the recipients gift (right?) So fuck that. |

If you can't manage $10 you can't manage $100,000.00 and so on. I have found this to be a very telling tale dealing with million dollar budgets in the Healthcare industry I am associated with. |

I'm gonna split the jackpot 30-ways (15 to MY family and 15 to My wife's). We'll all party like it's 1999 and then part friends. I'll be dead with-in the year of course |

To Porsche. To Cessna (for the largest single pilot Citation they make). To those guys making Me-262 replicas in TX. The rest goes in a bank in the Isle Of Mann.
