Your first hour after winning $365 million.
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! Last edited by Rain Man; 02-17-2006 at 09:49 PM.. |

I went with tax strategy and financial plan...can't be too careful. BTw I would buy a home on Cheyenne Mountain, or build one.
Correction suggestion Rain, for Quick surfer - it would be blow lines, not smoke bowls

better to wait on any major purchases until the giddy wears off.

OK, who else picked the tax strategy option? I actually worried about the downside of winning the Dec. 31 drawing and not having time to properly shelter my winnings. Then I realized that I'm a cash basis taxpayer, so I might not be on the hook for a win after the close of business 2005.

I'd go to the bar and buy everyone a drink. That would be fun.

After I bought everything I ever wanted and bankrolled enough I'd set up my kids with trust funds and then give away the rest. Who needs that much money? |
