A homestead/ranch in Montana or Wyoming with lots of elk and mule deer.

I would fund a float in a krewe, and pay for the costumes and throws, and have hotels and travel paid for so all of my close friends and relatives can come and experience it together.

I would make a substantial gift to my grown kids, not life-changing, but enough to make them comfortable if they are smart about it. I'd set up individual trusts for my grandkids, as well as set up and fund a retirement plan for each grandkid and a 529 plan for college for each grandchild as well. In addition, I would start a trust fund to set up a 529 for college expenses for any future grandkids, and great grandkids, as well as fund a retirement plan.

I'd also establish a charitable foundation for investing in promising Alzheimer's research and name it after my father to honor him.

I'd also make a substantial TAF donation.

The rest would be for my wife and I to retire on and travel.

can kind of hide it by claiming as a corporation, but people can and will figure it out.


Read a story a few years ago about a family who won over $100 million. The husband said he would get death threats constantly. People calling and asking for money multiple times per day. He changed his phone number at least 5 times and the last time he changed it, he never gave it out and people were still calling and asking for money.

I believe they ended up changing their names, moving far away, buying a modest home, drove modest cars so no one would question their wealth.

I believe you’re right about filling for a corporation. Most definitely would have to go into hiding for awhile.

House in Florida and a house on Lake of the Ozarks with a big power boat and center console on a boat lift at each one.

Buy a couple places. Nothing crazy, prob a few cars.

I would donate a few grand to get some of our incel posters some pussy. Just because I think getting laid might make Oweo and SDV a lot happier.

Stop spending the kids' inheritance I have put back, and start spending their newly aquired inheritance instead.

I'd start a corp with a liberal sounding name. I'd donate to the few liberal causes I support.

Then I'd offer to pay the entirety of Trump's fine for the laughs.

I would be kicking myself for not spending the extra dollar on the power play for $2M.

I would never wear the same socks twice. I’d also have an Asian woman to pick the new sock lint out from between my toes.

Would set aside just enough to live a great life, and give the rest away for as long as it took.

Stroke a $50 mil check to St Jude
Buy forest property in high growth areas and put it into 99 year conservation easements to stop developers
Every time I see a go fund me for a kid stricken with something, I’m finding it 100%
Rural development grants
That type of stuff
