re: If you hit the lottery worth $300 million...

Pay off all debt for myself, my immediate family and my wife's immediate family
Buy a small house to live in for 1-2 years
Buy some land in a small town
Build my house with own two hands like my grandpa did
Set up a sweet college fund for my kids
Buy a nice truck and boat and whatever the wife wants
Invest 90% of the remaining and live off of the interest
Take the remaining 10% and do a little gentrification of the town I'm living in


ETA: I would also open a restaraunt and hire all my buddies to work there. Cook and chat all day with my buddies until I die.

besides all the obvious, ie trust, lawyers, etc

borrow as much as possible against it to help create Real Estate empire

I'd probably start a lobbying firm as well

I'd live in a fricking sweet arse house in DC during the spring-fall and then live in La Jolla, CA during the winter

I'd smoke a frick ton of pot, travel the world

shite ton of farm land. A house on land in Montana.

You rang?

I'd buy bread at Mr. B's and give it to homeless people....

ETA: Only to vagrants, not panhandlers.

I'll keep you in mind if I were to ever win



Which will be difficult since I rarely buy lottery tickets

Thanks but from the downvotes that post is getting I think the fact I'd buy one is rustling the jimmies of some.

Quit work

Pay off all of our bills

Organize big trip to Vegas with wife and close friends. Get suites and live it up for a week -- meals, shows, shopping, etc

Tell handful of close friends they get one massive arse gift -- a house, college tuition paid for children, money to start business, stuff like that

Buy a 1970 Dodge Charger

Buy a house in either Spanish Town/Garden District -- nothing extravagant, just something comfortable with a nice backyard

Buy a place in New Orleans -- nothing crazy, just something comfortable, close to attractions and good places to eat and drink

Open a real Irish pub in Baton Rouge - call it O'Rileys (that's the name of one dog)

Open a Tiki bar in Baton Rouge - call it Loupe's Lounge (that's the name of the other dog)

Hang around my bars all day, drinking and shooting the shite with customers

When I get bored with bars, travel with wife

When I get bored with travel, return to bars

When I get bored of bars and travel, do some freelance work in my former profession
