What would I do with 700 million dollars worth of BMW motorcycles? My garage struggles to hold two.
I would hope you would buy a really nice UH1 and make a quick trip to Dillon AERO, after picking me up of course .

Dude, you so totally know me.
I think you would learn to fly a jet instead of those flip wing zippos.
Jets... Um, yes but only two, one they don't make any more, an F-4 phantom but that would only be my second choice. A-10 warthog. My jet of choice. I would paint a BMW roundel on the side, and of course I would have enough money that BMW couldn't sue me for copyright infringement.

After winning millions, this guy handled his good fortune in a special sort of way. Taking over $500,000 to a strip club, and telling a stripper that the money is in your Hummer... what could possibly go wrong???? And that is just one of his sad stories.

If you are going to try it, be aware that the rules have changed. It used to be around 1 in 172 million. Now it's around 1 in 292 million. If you have a co-winner, it probably won't work out for you.

I suspect that after taxes it would be less than $600 million. If someone wins this, it should be very close to making the federal government solvent again... you know if the federal government put tax money toward the debt.
Kansas is hoping a win will make them solvent?

With the lottery being all the buzz just now,talking to a food delivery guy just tonight. He said his neighbor won millions a few years back. She spent a small amount on herself, did some house upgrades , and spends the rest helping others. Mostly sick kids & their families, and a few random charities . He said getting to know her over the years, he wasn't surprised at all. She's just a very giving person......Kudos too her ! !
Just in- three winners!
Eddie Murphy stunt double dispenses one of the winners!
I did pretty well my self- according to a Nigerian Prince, I have one one of their lottery deals- for a million. It was a dollar a year for a million years
I just had to send the Prince a $15,000 dollar processing fee.......You know, it's like a DOC fee at the dealer- but different
Kinda interesting as I was also notified via Verizon e-mail that the IRS wanted to give me a refund, all I had to do is click on the link
Anyway- everybody- be careful. There have been an amazing about of scams through the interwebz lately. Don't let your curiosity get the best of you.....Reach for delete. Especially if your first instinct is that you don't understand something in the e-mail.

I disagree.....the taxes will be under 600M (depending on your home state). That will leave ~750M for your relatives and neighbors to gossip about......
