Your first hour after winning $365 million.

**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!

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

Isn't that right next to Brokeback Mountain?

yep ... plan first, buy later.

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.

**Bwana** · 02-17-2006, 09:58 PM

Well done Kevin!

Lose it all to sports betting after the Lakers fail to cover the spread against the ****ing Hawks

teedubya · 02-17-2006, 10:01 PM

i would go to Denver and buy Rainman a new bike.

DJay23 · 02-17-2006, 10:07 PM

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

Tax planning investment strategy

Gotta to have tunes.

Chiefs Express · 02-17-2006, 10:05 PM

I'd give 20% to the Church....

Then I'd buy Chiefs planet and ban everyone for two months.

When I tithe I always tithe gross. The second 10% is gravy.

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?

Agreed. But if I'm going to give it away, I'm going to have fun with it. I'm talking gifts with bizarre conditions attached.

"Yes, I will fund that new building, but you must call it Poopypants Hall and have a marble equestrian statue of me in the entryway."

I'd thank God.
