I WON 50 MILLION! - Winni - 01-09-2015
Yes, that is exactly what I would scream if I had won that much money! Wouldn't matter whether I was at work or home LOL!
The loto here in the Peg is 50 Million tonight. We all put in for it at work, cause nobody wants to be the poor bugger who may not have, and the group win...
So a question on the radio today was, what would you do with it? Not just that but in detail:
1. What's the first thing you would purchase?
2. Where would you place a donation?
3. What would be the first place you would go?
Take your time people, I have been thinking about this all morning and still not sure what I would do. I think the first place I would go, would be on an African Safaria and travel around Africa in general. First purchase would be a new house in the City, not big and not necessarily new new, but better...
I think as far as a donation, I would like to try and setup some kind of 'foundation' in Jamaica for Mental Health, or purchase a well established farm in Jamaica, or better yet, establish a farm, put alot of people to work and grow alot of vegetables to sell to the big stores in mass quantities. Not sure about that one yet...
What would you do?

spend as much of it as possible !!! SPCA would be a donation for sure .

Come on OT, I'm looking for some details. Think on it seriously... it involves a lot of decision making.
RE: I WON 50 MILLION! - Oldtimer2 - 01-09-2015
5 kids ,11 grandkids , my son is just starting , that's some $'s
Travel would probably be New Zealand and I am serious about spending as much of it as possible . My luxurious gift to self would be a boat worth about 3-4 million $'s and some more HD's .

If I won I would pay off the mortgage on our house, my Mom and I take a world cruise, couple friends and family members I would help out, support a half way house for troubled teens, almost became on myself after my Dad was killed. Start a trust fund for my Mom and give her sizeable amount of money this way she does not have to work if she does not want to she works too hard...have to think some more on this

I would travel more such as a world cruise in the suite :-)
I would love to win about $2000 per week after tax for life. It's enough to give you a little extra but not to go crazy or have people prey on you. Of course apy off my kids college and maybe provide a down payment on their home when they are ready. I would pay for a nice nursing home for my mother, nay live wid mi :-) .

Raine, some great ideas there...I like your way of thinking.
Mac - maybe I would like a chunk to make a very secure investment, then the $2000 every couple of weeks to have some 'spending' money.. LOL!
