I'm a longtime Chiefs fan, but when I win I'm going to limit my Chiefs investment to streaming the games online on my massive yacht as I anchor for the day in Bora Bora.

Apparently, you have better odds of lining up a trail of quarters from NY to LA and selecting the one quarter bearing a special marking.

The statistics are skewed when it comes to the lottery. The odds of picking the correct number of a random 6 number drawing are astronomical. The odds of winning the lottery are much, much better. Why? Because someone always wins the lottery. Someone is GOING to win this lottery, if not this drawing then the next. That means that of the, let's just say, 2 million tickets sold for this drawing, at least one will win. Even if one doesn't, and a million MORE people join the party, bringing the total cost of tickets up to 5 million for both drawings, you now have a 1 in 2.5 million chance of winning. This is a closed system, so your odds of winning are greatly increased by the fact that A) Someone will win, and B) that winner will come from a limited group of players. |

After taxes, we're talking roughly $200 million in take-home. I have a deal with a friend that we always split our Powerball winnings, so I'd end up with about $100 million.
I guaran-darn-tee that I would have the most diversified investment portfolio on the planet. The only way I would lose all of my money would involve a large meteor or the explosion of the sun.

I'd probably do something like this:
$20 million in income-producing real estate of the most conservative kind possible, scattered around the country $10 million in money markets and other conservative, conservative U.S. bank accounts. $10 million in my house and other hard assets $10 million in T-Bills and stuff $10 million in cash in safety deposit boxes and buried holes in the ground $10 million in conservative U.S. mutual funds $5 million in bonds $5 million in money markets and other conservative, conservative non-U.S. bank accounts. $5 million in conservative foreign mutual funds $5 million in gold $5 million in high-value art and other collectibles $5 million in moderate to aggressive U.S. mutual funds

If you win, you'll probably spend most of it hiding from your friends and relatives for the rest of your life.
