What serious thing would you do if you won the Powerball?

Yeah, this is the OT, but try to give a serious response in this thread.


I think I would donate enough to LSU to ensure myself a faculty position in which I could supervise graduate students in my field, but not have to teach too many classes. I would get bored not having a job at all and would still want to contribute to the field I'm in.

While I agree that not having a job at all would be boring, the rest of what you said sounds even more boring


ETA: But I would probably resign at my job and start a philanthropic group that my wife and I could run

I don't know what I would do. I really cannot even begin to fathom the concept of having that much wealth at my disposal.

I would buy a ski out chalet in the best school district I could find and a nice beach condo on the gulf. A decent RV and invest the rest. Live off of dividends and leave the rest to my kids. Don't think I would donate to any charities as most are not legit. Might help out a few people along the way though....

Buy a better dog (she's just old and shitty now. I mean she can stay around I guess, I just need a better one.)

How much do those cost? I don't want to blow all my money.

I always wanted to drive a bulldozer. So, maybe that.

I've enjoyed supervising students in my clinical practice so far. These aren't your average idiot students, they've already progressed beyond that point to be the cream of the crop.

I would certainly donate a good chunk to St. Jude's. They saved my oldest brother's life when he was a kid.

I have an older dog myself. I would do everything within my power to give her the best life she can have while she is still with me. I would do this whether or not I won the Powerball.

Wise move. I'm at least taking a selfie which I send to a trusted family member.
