Your first hour after winning $365 million. - Page 4

**Rain Man** · 09:49 PM

What do you do?

You can answer on the poll, but then you can also propose other activities.

ASSUME THAT YOUR WIN IS 100% CERTAIN. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WAIT TO CONFIRM ANYTHING. IT'S YOURS, ALL YOURS!

2 girls at the same time!

I would've included that as an option, but in the first hour I think the only available chicks would be meth whores. It would be better to wait a week and get supermodels.

Of course, being married, it probably wouldn't be worth paying $182.5 million for an evening with either meth whores or supermodels.

I don't believe that is correct. The guy in the Carolinas that won the 315 mil PB took home 111 million.

Based on that, it would seem like you would take home around 140 mil.

The first thing I would do is ask my mother where she would like to live and then go house shopping with her.

Then I would move out of the US as quickly as I could. I would probably have a place somewhere in Costa Rica.

Then I would spend the rest of my life travelling.

Per the Powerball web site, the current cash value is $177.3 million. Your federal taxes on that (married filing jointly) would be about $62 million. Depending on your state, you're going to have another $3 mil or so in state tax on top of that. So it's only $112 million, or 30% of the posted jackpot value. Divide by three, divide by four, it's all about the same.

I didn't ready any of these posts. But how much do you get at once?

1.I'd buy myself a new ride and p.i.m.p it out.
2. I'd buy my dad a new house, vehicle and pay off all his bills and give him a substantial amount of money
3. I'd do the same for my mother.
4. I'd do the same for my brother.
5. I'd pay for my sisters college and get her anything she wants.
6. Season tickets to KC and tickets to all the KU football/basketball games.
7. Invest, invest, invest.

Not that it matters, but I don't think it's the History Channel. Discovery, maybe?
