Yes I would. That’s five years to live to the fullest with no worries. Assuming my wife could have what’s left over. No problem.

At my age, no spitball I would take the cash. That kind of money changes the picture for generations.

Yes, as long as my faith in God is secure and not jeopardized.

I think I would do that for my kids

No, I don't deal with the devil. Now if it was a God's deal, I'd say no to that also.

I would, I’ll be 60 soon. I would set up my family for life. Once you reach my age all you have to look forward to is trimming your nose hair, and the hair in your ears, not to mention the aches and pains.

Set up my family with the $$$ and spend the next 5 years blowing some, taking some trips, donate some.

No, and why would anyone say yes unless they were 80 years old already or terminally ill.

Sure - If I had 500 mill I probably wouldn't last 1 year so I would get 4 more years of hookers and blow

I would do it . Not that I don't have a ton to look forward to in life, but you can do so much for generations of your family later with that type of money.

My plan would be to hire a great advisor who puts the right money into trusts etc for my family. I would probably take 25 million and live it up. I think my advisor would want me to buy some homes too so I would do that.
