About the same as when you beat yourself in the balls with a ball peen.

Your entire life is about to change. Money is no longer a worry.

You could build the house of your dreams, buy any vehicle you want, take trips, send your children to the best schools, anything.

Would you even sleep from Sat night until the time you were able to hand in that ticket? The anxiety level would be off the charts.

I don't know how I could sleep. I would probably be paranoid. I would take my wife's phone and throw it into the Reservoir so she couldn't open her fat mouth.

Yeah right after I won, I figure I'd probably stare silently into space for at least a solid hour, feeling numb from head to toe.

I don't drink but I would probably pour one.

I'm with you. I would probably be silent until I turn the ticket in. I think I would just be speechless, questioning my reality.

wonder what the feeling is like when you read the numbers to a winning ticket. Do you just feel like you've lost your mind?


Complete and utter shock followed by numbness. Then complete and total happiness for the rest of your life

How many times would you check/re-check your numbers just to make sure?

100-200 times?

I would probably move to Utah or Florida (south Florida, Gulf side, in some private cove somewhere).

I would buy a condo in Buenos Aires, or a ranch.

I bought $40 worth of tickets last night.

If I win, I plan to take $10m and buy Tigerdroppings.

(make an offer he can't refuse, lol)

I'd have my main house Uptown, condo downtown, house on the westbank and house in Lakeview. No amount of money could make me leave this city.

Live uptown, sleep downtown after Saints games, Endymion, etc... And have the other two for when I need them.

Ideally I'd buy a block of houses uptown, atleast 8 of them, and move my closest friends into the neighborhood with me. Complete with private armed neighborhood security.

Then I'd get vacation homes in Sedona Arizona, Navarre Florida, New York, Colorado, and San Diego

Donate 10 million to Jesuit High School, 10 million to Loyola Law, and invest the rest. Start a charity organization to help lower income kids get educated and mentored.

I just have visions of worthless cousins, 2nd cousins, and "friends" i havent seen in years showing up wanting money.


I'd have some fun with this. First, I'd tell them that Obama screwed me, and I actually only ended up with about 4 million after taxes (they'd buy it). Then, I'd say that I'm only allowed to give away $1,000 per person before they would have to pay a tax as well (once again, they'd buy it). Finally I'd say that anyone who wants up to $1,000 would have to make a pitch to me Shark-Tank style, and then I'd either be in or out.
